Over at my other haunt, Sergio Leone and the Infield Fly Rule, there is currently posted, in honor of Halloween week, what I think are two very special treats (and possibly tricks). The first is a very challenging frame grab quiz in which readers are asked to guess the titles of 31 movies based on eerie images that may or may not be so easy to identify. The other is a special edition of the traditional interview-type quiz I occasionally come up devoted entirely to the harrowing world of horror. It features the usual batch of questions for which there are no wrong answers, only your answers, which makes it much more fun to fill out and especially to read. As usual, it’s taking me a while to get around to submitting my own answers to the quiz, but in the creeping shadow of the approaching holiday I thought I...

It's hard to imagine taking orders from Bambi, the baby deer starring in Walt Disney's 1942 animated classic of the same name. But for years, hundreds of U.S. Marines were doing just that at the command of Donnie Dunagan, the child actor who voiced Bambi's character so many years before! Dunagan, now 80, never told anyone in the service about his movie past. "No chance!" he said to his wife Dana during a recent sit-down with NPR's StoryCorps. "I never said a word to anybody about Bambi, even to you. When we first met I never said a word about it. Most of the image in people's minds of Bambi was a little frail deer, not doing very well, sliding around on the ice on his belly." News:...

Godzilla Did Not Squish The Voice Of Bambi!! Interview with Donnie Dunagan. The chance to meet Donnie Dunagan was not one I could pass up. The name may not be familiar but odds are, if you are a classic film fan, his work is. Besides playing opposite horror greats like Basil Rathbone, Vincent Price and the one and only Boris Karloff in Son of Frankenstein (1939) and Tower of London (1939) he provided the face-model and voice for none other than Bambi (1942). Now in his 70s the affable and still sharp as a tack Dunagan has embraced the chances he gets to share about his time in the spotlight and and spoke to me briefly during a Chicago stopover for a special retrospective 60th...

Sometimes (never) 'The View' is useful, as in the case of a recent episode of the TV talk show where the stars of Disney's 1942 animated feature, 'Bambi,' recently met for the first time ever. Donnie Dunagan, who does the voice of young Bambi -- the white-tailed fawn who battles the dark forces of nature in the woods while trying to grow up -- met his on-screen best friend Thumper, played by Peter Behn.
Dunagan started his acting career at only three-and-a-half years old, when he won a talent contest and was scouted for parts in several Hollywood films. From there, he teamed up with the Mickey Mouse studio for the fifth installment in their animated classics series. Behn's only role was 'Bambi,' where he plays a rabbit who has a habit of wildly thumping his hind foot.

The child star who voiced Bambi in Disney's 1942 classic movie was told his real mum was in peril, so he'd sound authentically panicked for the film's pivotal death scene.
Former child star Donnie Dunagan was in the studio recording his voice for the scene in which Bambi's mother is shot by hunters and his mother had to excuse herself to run an errand - and animators pounced on the opportunity to really worry the six year old.
Dunagan recalls, "They said, 'Your mother is in trouble, call for your mother,' and I said, 'Wait a minute, I just saw my mom and she looks fine.'
"A very astute man behind me said, 'Your mother is in trouble here in the studio; we're gonna put you on the speaker, call for your mother...' I believed she was in trouble.
"He probably shouldn't have done that but it works fine and he hugged me later."
Appearing on TV show The View on Friday, Dunagan revealed he quit acting at the age of 12 and became a legal orphan after falling out with his family.
He later served in the Marines and became a commanding officer.

A film that has made many a vegetarian, but stands as one of Walt Disney.s masterpieces. It turns out that the villain is us, but I.ve not exactly seen deer, rabbits, and skunks chatting away in the forest either. What is 100% true is that Disney has produced another stunning Blu-ray. The forest is abuzz with excitement as Friend Owl (Will Wright) is awakened from his nap to go and witness the birth of a new fawn. The mother deer (Paula Winslowe) names the newborn Bambi (voiced by Bobby Stewart, Donnie Dunagan, Hardie Albright, and John Sutherland during his lifetime). Bambi quickly befriends the rabbit Thumper (Peter Behn, Tim Davis, Sam Edwards), the skunk Flower (Stan Alexander, Tim...

Having had the TV hit of the summer with Sherlock, Mark Gatiss is now bringing cult horror to the masses – and putting Edwardians on the moon. Stuart Jeffries meets a shooting star
'When I was a boy," says Mark Gatiss, "I wanted to be a whiskery man in a white coat saying, 'Look, it's a pterodactyl!'" He elaborates, mentioning one of his film heroes, who died earlier this year: "I wanted to be Lionel Jeffries in an Edwardian-set family fantasy film."
Gatiss, now 43, has his wish. He's playing Edwardian inventor Joseph Cavor in his own defiantly kidultish adaptation of Hg Wells's 1901 novel The First Men in the Moon. Cavor is white-coated, facially hirsute and occasionally ditsy. Just before they set off for the moon, fellow astronaut Arnold Bedford inquires: "I say, Cavor, we will be able to get back, won't we?"
"I don't see why not," says Cavor vaguely.

With the second annual and highly anticipated horror convention Monsterpalooza – The Art of Monsters returning Friday, April 9–11, 2010, to The Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel in Burbank, CA (get your tickets here now, and how could you not, when they’re only $20 a day?), Dread caught up with the con’s creator, Eliot Brodsky, to talk about the F/X and monster-heavy event.
“Monsterpalooza was a glimmer of an idea back in 2007,” Brodsky told us of the show’s conception. “I actually did a very sized-down version of the show on the East Coast in 2008. It was in conjunction with Monster-Mania as a display museum.”
While other horror conventions seem to primarily focus on the stars of the genre (and this year’s Monsterpalooza isn’t slacking in that department by any means, as Brodsky’s organized a Return of the Living Dead reunion panel with the principals from that classic), the...

Finally, we take a breath, clear the cobwebs of mourning and peek out from beneath the shadows to find out how the late Forrest J Ackerman continues to do us good. At genre conventions from coast to coast, fans and friends pay tribute to the grand old man who made us monsters!
Ken-tucky? Yep, they Ken!
Any horror fan, young or old, who’s in it for the scare-making arts, crafts and monster makers, Must experience Wonderfest. I flew over the cool greenery and picturesque graveyards of Louisville, Kentucky to attend the first Con I’ve been to without Uncle Forry by my side. While most travelers rushed to the baggage claim to pick up luggage and trot off to watch horses run some derby, I was there for the monsters!
In its 20th year, Wonderfest is a gathering place for modelers. Make that “Super-modelers.” Builders, sculptors, painters, collectors, you name it!

Sixty-three years after Disney's orphaned fawn endeared cinemagoers with his wide soppy eyes, Xan Brooks talks to Donnie Dunagan, the voice of Bambi, on childhood fame and surviving bullets
The tanned old man in the bifocals and cowboy boots could stand as a living emblem for America's loss of innocence. He has worked as a spy in cold war Berlin, and came under fire while fighting in Vietnam. The collapse of Enron ate his savings and he is now struggling to make ends meet. But once, long ago, Donnie Dunagan was the voice of Bambi. He said "bird-a" and "butterfly" and mistook a skunk for a flower.
Back then Dunagan was a Hollywood child star, plucked from Depression-era squalor and contracted out to Rko. Aged four he was the imperilled tyke in Son of Frankenstein (alongside Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi), before jumping ship to make Disney's 1942 classic. He recalls...
