For the Western Civilization Board October Art Theme: Universal Monsters Jam. October: Universal Monsters - For
Halloween month we have to make use of the Universal Monsters. Maybe
Dracula has bound a would-be bride or someone kidnapped the Bride of
Frankenstein? Lot's of things to imagine. Well it seems that Maddie
Fenton of Danny Phantom has run afoul of another victim of
Duocaine. No the invisible woman is trying to make her escape in Maddie
Fenton's outfit. This is what happens when you send a ghost hunter
against a non ghost opponent. It was a fun epirement with doing this
empty clothes effect.
Madeline "Maddie" Fenton is
the very beautiful wife of Jack Fenton and the mother of Jazz and Danny
Fenton. She is a scientist and ghost hunter just like Jack, only that
she is way more capable than him. She is considered to be one of the few
humans who can actually give some trouble to Danny if she decides to
hunt him.
Maddie is an accomplished martial artist
(ninth degree black belt) as well as marksman and technical whiz.
Maddie, despite her obsession with ghosts, absolutely loves her family
and will do anything to defend them.
Maddie has known both
Jack and Vlad since college, and during that time had been unaware of
Vlad's feelings for her. Even in the present, she views Vlad as just a
friend, despite Vlad's attempt to amend that opinion. In "Maternal
Instinct" Vlad declares his feelings to Maddie, feelings which Maddie
does not return nor appreciate- especially when he speaks poorly about
Jack. After this, Vlad falls into Maddie's ill-graces. In "Reign Storm,"
when Vlad claims to have saved Danny's life, Maddie's opinion of Vlad
improves out of gratitude, but she continues to harbor a mixed opinion
towards him. It has since been consistently shown that she still doesn't
trust him.
Maddie has always stayed true to her family and she
always defends Jack against Vlad whenever Vlad has spoken ill of him.
Danny used to be really close with Maddie when he was little and despite
not being as close to her now, still loves and looks up to her.
Danny's
mother is a firm believer in what can be strongly evidenced or
scientifically "proven" (in the Danny Phantom universe, that includes
ghosts) and is more rational than her husband. Like Jack, she's none too
friendly towards ghosts, though she's not quite as fond of destroying
them outright. In her own words, "Well, we can't completely vaporize it.
Don't you want to at least examine the remains?"
In the
original Claude Raines plays Jack Griffith who is experimenting with
Duocaine, a bleaching agent that causes madness. Griffith slowly
descends into madness, he is at first short tempered and prone to
violence. Then he starts doing crimes like causing trains to crash,
killing search parties, and taking revenge on people he believes that
crossed him. Claude Rains performance is wonderful and frightful. A nice little story while in England, Claude Rains and his daughter went to see the Invisible Man
and went to buy the tickets. It was cold and he bundle tightly against
the cold. The ticket seller recognized his voice and they let him in
for free.
The next film was the Invisible Man Returns where
Vincent Price is a wrongly convicted man for murder. he is giving
Duocaine to escape from prison and prove his innocence. Though the
specail effects are from the thirties and forties, yet they are still
effective.
