I know the music had to be replaced in many episodes of the DVD release, but this episode has the Wolfman introducing and dancing to Playgirl by Thee Prophets, which I presume is the same as it was when this episode first aired in 1971 or 1972.

I saw him in there but somehow I missed that the music was intact and thought they had cut most of his bit.

for Vincent Price

shit, sorry for the self-vote

Is self-voting against the rules? I've done it as long as I've been here.

Anyway, the cool thing about Julius Sumner Miller is that he didn't really need to use any gimmicks to keep the science interesting. The science itself should be an interesting-enough "gimmick" in and of itself. I mean, there's a little bit of a gimmick here with his hair and ragged clothing, but that was obviously forced upon him by the producers of the show to keep the segment "consistent" with the whole haunted house vibe.

It's by no means against the rules, but a person might worry they are trying to make a video appear to be better-received than it actually was. Which is probably not the case here; everyone's pretty happy with it.

The hair and ragged clothing come standard (my mother remembered watching him on Australian television - I asked her about his appearance here and she said it was pretty much normal for him). Getting them to change them would have been meddling. He was a scientist, and he was kind of mad. Hiring him was a coup.

I notice I obfuscated my point a little, so to put it simply: that's what he normally looked like. He was always weird. That's probably why they got him - a fantastic idea.
