THE MONKEY FOLK

ORIGINALLY POSTED 5-23-2009

I love the crude, otherworldly ape men of early cinema. The limitations of special effects coupled with a naive design sensibility introduced movie audiences to strange offshoots of the evolutionary tree.
This lobby card from the silent 1918 incarnation of TARZAN OF THE APES has some great details that deserve a closer look.
Enjoy!
