Caray, Caray!

Ok, Urban, hows come you haven't joined us on MPV? You are missing one super novela!!

I love it..."Jessica Rabbit" types! One of the local Spanish radio stations here is always, and I mean always, making fun of Ninel Conde. I don't this know anything about this actress other than what I am getting out of context, but what they say is so funny.

Another good topic! I will have to think about this one. I'm just so limited in that I don't know too many of the novela actors, but maybe I can come up with something.

Yikes! I wrote a horrible sentence. I meant to say, I don't know anything about Ninel Conde, the actress, other than what I can piece together from the mostly fragmented comments from the radio personalities. It is hilarious, I gotta say!

Good topic I don't even know if I'm going to any Halloween parties (though I've been invited to two) since I might be doing makeup for a local spook alley those nights
My favorite Halloween movies usually have Vincent Price in, he's so fun to watch, but I don't know anyone else who can camp it up like he did (if anyone has seen someone I'd like to know)
Jessica Rabbit types, I never thought of it that way but now you mention it, it sounds about right
I know David Zepeta is a hero now but I always thought if he grew a mustache he'd look just like Sindely Wiplash (though I know that's not halloweeny)
That one actor, whose name eludes me (I'd have to look on imdb) would make an amazing Dr Frankenstein, he looks super creepy, or maybe I just think that because he already played a mad scientist on Sortilegio

I have one for all the other commenters The Lost Boys tn style I'm thinking Eugenio Siller in Kiefer Sutherland's part but who else?



 

Ninel Conde was in a fairly crappy novela, Fuego en la Sangre.

Her body could be described as pneumatic. Huge bosoms, enhanced derriere and looks about as realistic as Jessica Rabbit.
 

Jessica Rabbit-types: Ninel Conde, Gabriela Spanic, Mariana Seaone (sp?)

Mad Scientist: Manuel Ojeda (currently Ernesto in LT); Cesar Evora (his awesome evil laugh)

Frankenstein Monster: The guy who stabbed Pati in PEAM; Roberto Ballesteros
 

LOL! Halloween means exactly the same thing in México!!

The thing is that, as an adopted ''tradition'' now we have more days to celebrate. And I mean adopted, because kids love it. More candy!!

31 Oct. Halloween
1 Nov. Day of the dead (children)
2 Nov. Day of the dead (Adults)
 

Thank you for the background on Ninel Conde, novelera. I just love your description: "pneumatic". I'm dying laughing. now, I will have to pay much closer attention to the radio personalities when they talk about her. Sometimes, the Spanish is flying fast and furious and I don't catch what they say.

Manuel Landeta would make a good Frankenstein, Jaime Camile as Dracula, Daniela Romo or Zully Montero (from Santa Diabla) as witches and I agree with Ninel Conde as Jessica Rabbit.

 

Wolfman = Sergio Reynoso, Eduardo Capetillo, Luis Gatica
 

I agree with the others about Ninel Conde as Jessica Rabbit. She's the most Jessica Rabbitty of them all. Gabriela Spanic would be good, too.

For the Brides of Dracula, I'm thinking of the waitresses in Que Bonito Amor.

For Dracula himself, you could go a number of ways: younger or older, classic good looks or not necessarily conventional good looks but still charismatic and somehow attractive. A lot of actors actually come to mind: Ivan Sanchez, Marcelo Cordoba, Sergio Sendel, David Zepeda. Rogelio Guerra, Enrique Rocha and Cesar Evora in their prime. If you wanted to go with an older actor Cesar Evora would still make a fine Dracula, especially with that hypnotic voice. Manuel Landeta, with or without hair, is another actor I think would do well.

I'm a fan of Val Lewton movies and I think a number of them would make good telenovelas, especially the original Cat People and I Walked with a Zombie (the movie is a lot better than the title!).
 

Pancho, I am a fan of the Val Lewton movies too.

One time when I was recapping Cuando Me Enamoro, the character Constanza got bonked on the head and she was all bandaged up. She looked exactly like the head in The Brain That Wouldn't Die so I added a picture of the bandaged up lady head (aka Jan In The Pan) in my recap. The resemblance was amazing.
 

Please, don't give them ideas...

Televisa has lost it. Even when all TV Networks do bad from time to time, I doubt Televisa can come up with something good.

Televisa needs to get rid of all, and I mean all people who, disguised as producers and directors, are only after the quick buck, selling themselves to announcers and such.

I will never be a tv producer, because if I were, I would never have anything to do. I wouldn't hire prostitutes that call themselves actresses, people with visible plastic surgeries, people who live off scandals, and I would never do remakes. It's sad but it's true. The only reason Televisa keeps making this TNs, is because they sell them worldwide. And that doesn't mean they are that good, but proves that people will watch anything, anything!
 

I stand by my PEAM comment a month or so ago: Discua aka Ninel Conde reminds me of a forklift. Tines in the front and a massive counterweight aft.
Capt. Sharkbait, I'd have thought you'd nominate Cupertino's own Aaron Diaz as Dracula.
 

Ooooooh, good one! He's absolutely perfect with a wonderful mix of seduction and danger. You get a "10" my friend.
 

Oh, and kudos on the forklift. So funny!
 

@Cap'n Sylvia Sharkbait. I don't know about Sergio Reynoso and Luis Gatica, but I do agree with your choice of Eduardo Capetillo and I also nominate his equally furry brother Guillermo Capetillo as the Wolfmen.

 

Mike and Sylvia:

I second the nomination of Aaron Diaz as Dracula. Woo hoo.

I like Daniela Romo for Charlotte in Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte. (Of course the original was played brilliantly by Bette Davis).

Mike, forklift, OMG. Hee hee hee. Raising a glass to you Emilia and the lovely grandbabies.

Pablo, love hearing the Mexican perspective on Halloween and El Dia for both kids and adults. We have large El Dia de los Muertos celebrations in our local community.

What a fabulous tradition.

Ninel Conde as Elvira Mistress of the Dark.

Gringo, that could work. Don't know if Ninel Conde is or could be as funny as Cassandra Peterson, though.

Well, howdy, Elna Jung!! Good to 'see' you otra vez and I hope you're doing well.
 

I also think that could work. And I second Ivan Sanchez for Dracula.

That would also need Altair Jarabo as Lucy, Sylvia Navarro as Mina, Sebastian Rulli as Jonathan Harker, and Jorge Salinas as Dr Van Helsing.
 

Urban:

What a great topic. I wasn't able to comment until now, but how about "Rocky Horror Picture Show" with Marcelo Cordoba as Dr. Frank N. Furtur? It would be a hoot.
 

Mads, I was also thinking about Rocky Horror. I was imagining Sebastian Rulli as Dr. Frank N. Furter. I think he would look good in a corset. But does he have the moves?
