I love that episode! I first came across it in comic-book form as a kid, although I can’t remember if it was an actual Twilight Zone comic or in an EC Comics anthology. Good stuff.

Although not a movie, “The Twilight Zone” episode “Eye of the Beholder” is one of the bandaged-face classics of all time.

Don’t read this Wikipedia entry unless or until you’ve seen the episode. It ends with a classic Twilight Zone twist that shouldn’t be spoiled if you’ve not seen it.

Sorry, the above referred to Bogie’s *”original”* face, meaning of course the face that the character had when he was accused and convicted of murder.

Bogie’s “orginal” face, shown in a newspaper photo, was just not believable, I believe even if we didn’t already know what Bogie looked like.

I don’t suppose they’ll ever make a film (or a miniseries) of Peter Straub’s “The Floating Dragon” (he wrote “A Ghost Story,” which I thought was miles better than the Fred Astaire – Craig Wasson film). It has melting people too, though they’re not the center of the story.

Bogie gained his face in Dark Passage.

Richard, didn’t you recognize that last picture? That’s Darkman on his lunch break.

Let’s not forget Darkman. You’re not forgetting Darkman, are you? ARE YOU!?
