Hi, We all know there are now some great generic horror miniatures out there (Westwind alone will tick pretty much all the boxes), but I was wondering if anyone knows of any 28 mm miniatures that have decent likenesses of classic horror movie actors. Back in the 1980s Grenadier produced a wonderful Boris Karloff mummy, but by modern standards that appears tiny, and there have been a few Nosferatu, but rarely any that capture the Max Schreck look. So, any recommendations for: Peter Cushing (ideally as everyone's favourite baron, but seriously, anything that looks like the great man would be fantastic.) Boris Karloff in any of his classic roles. A Schreck Nosferatu. Cesare from The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. Any other suggestions? Again, I'm looking for decent 28mm likenesses, not just yet another vampire or another Frankenstein's creature. Thanks in advance for any help; it's really appreciated. Best, Mike |

Cyrus – yes, I have that Creature. It's an absolutely cracking sculpt. :-) Thanks for the other contruibutions, guys, but I'm not really looking for generic Draculas or Frankenstein's monsters, I'm hoping I can find something that catches the look of Lee or Lugosi or (especially) Karloff. After all, if Grenadier could do a mummy that had a touch of Boris Karloff about it thirty years ago, surely someone will have done something similar in the intervening time?

*shrug* Sorry guys, I don't know why that picture of the Karloff Mummy isn't displaying. |

I'll second the Reaper minis for Bela Lugosi style Dracula and Lon Chaney as Wolfman. I have both. |
