Castle Films Presents....White Gorilla !

Hey Gang !
What a treat we have in store for you this time !
My good friend Craig Scott Lamb has taken the classic....er...almost classic...um..should have been classic White Gorilla , and turned it into a TRUE classic in the finest tradition of Castle Films !

What are Castle Films you say ? Well back in the dark ages before we had Internet streaming, DVD'S or even VHS videos, the only option to own your favorite movies was to buy it on actual film and put it on a projector...just like at the theater !
The place to get them was Castle Films !
Castle Films were shorter, digest versions of your favorite films, featuring all the great Universal Monsters, travel films, comedies, adventures, and every other genre imaginable !
Castle's could be ordered from many magazines back then including the legendary, Famous Monsters of Filmland !

Craig meticulously crafted the notoriously laborious White Gorilla ( starring iconic gorilla man Crash Corrigan as an ape, and himself ! ) into an exciting, faster paced adventure yarn from the classic  days of cinema !

And the best part of all ??? Craig owns Castle Films, so yes, this is a REAL live Castle Film for the modern day !

So without further ado, We now present....White Gorilla !

Speaking of Crash Corrigan...Craig is in pre-production on and amazing biopic about the amazing life of Crash Corrigan, called appropriately enough...CRASH !!!!

Keep checking in here my fellow ape fans, as we'll have incredible coverage on Crash from the creators themselves including several gorilla men you know !

ALBINO APES OF THE COMIC BINS

ORIGINALLY POSTED 7-30-2008

Like fins on a Caddy, bleach a gorilla and the darn thing just looks even more cool. White gorillas have popped up in a handful of films, namely WHITE PONGO, WHITE GORILLA and my simian cinema 'white whale', THE IVORY APE but they can also be found in the four-colour jungles of comic books.
Comic Book Gorillarama was my first foray into web work and remains far more popular than the obsessions that have marginalized it's upkeep ;-) Have a gander at both my Flickr photoset and the site that first announced to the world that I got some serious ape envy goin' on!

VALKOINEN GORILLA

ORIGINALLY POSTED 7-22-2008

It's getting late here but I have had an unbroken streak of posts and I want to maintain the regularity of entries here. If I am short of time or cannot whip up a fervor about a particular topic, I promise to at least post a striking image from the Gorilla Men archives.
The Finnish poster for WHITE GORILLA (1945) has some fantastic graphics and a bold colour scheme. I am uncertain when the Finnish release would have dated from but the apparent age of the poster would lead me to think that it was a recent rerelease, possibly from the 50's or 60's.
