Title: HELP! What movie is this picture from?!!??
Post by: Monglar on January 07, 2009, 05:10:29 PM
Here's the picture: http://flickr.com/photos/34129571@N07/3178165678/in/pool-14707834@N00

It's an old film, but I don't know what it is!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm guessing an early, silent Italian film like Inferno (1911), Footsteps to Satan or Maciste in Hell (1926)

Hmm, I can't seem to find any pictures of these movies that match this image.  I've seen this skeleton guy in various clips over the years so I assume it is a somewhat famous image.

Perhaps it is from one of the various cinematic retellings of "Faust?"  :question:

If it's from something that aired on the Food Network, try contacting the show and maybe they could help?  I'd like to know what it is too.

Good idea.  The Food Network logo is by far the most surreal part of that picture!

I saw that Streamline Films was listed in the credits of the show, so I checked their website http://www.streamlinefilms.com/ and sure enough they deal in stock footage, so I just emailed them.  I hope to get a response soon.

I'll second that! It most certainly is from the old George Melies film the RED SPECTRE (1907)! :thumbup:
