Weekend Discussion Thread: Worst Facial Hair

Alert reader Sue emails to say:

While watching ESPN this morning, there was a brief segment on retired NFL star Brett Favre’s new look. Although only 44, he’s currently sporting a very thick, very white beard. All I could think of when I saw his picture was Cameron Mitchell’s Santa look in Space Mutiny, further evidence that MST3K rules my life.

So…. WDT idea: Epic (or Epically Bad) Facial Hair in a MSTed Movie

My choices would be (1) for over-the-top supernatural facial hair, Michael Landon in “I Was a Teenage Werewolf,” (2) for just plain ugly, that Abraham Lincoln-ish spy in “Danger!! Death Ray!” and his lame chinstrap, and (3) for perfectly appropriate, the ventriloquist in “Devil Doll” with his lush yet creepy and almost pointed beard (“Mephistopheles goes uptown!”).

I’d pick Voldar from SCCTM. (“Pack your other mustache!”) Too bad we can’t pick the lady with the Rollie Fingers ‘stache in “Planet of Dinosaurs!”

Have at it!

Update: Joel/Trace/Josh Inducted into Horror Host Hall of Fame

The votes are in and they won! But they won’t actually officially inducted until next year. But still! Congrats, fellas.

Thanks to Laura for the heads up.
