OK...Last guess.... Could you be talking about the "face" on an early pre-production picture of Altair-4? Vaugly you can sort of make out an eye...nose...open mouth about to gobble up one of the moons?

To Gord: Nope, It’s not Altair IV trying to eat one of it’s own moons. But good try!

I’ll give our Forbidden Easter Egg hunt until Friday. On Friday I’ll reveal where the face is [unless you guys can find it first]. Why it is licking it’s chops. And my thought on why it was possibly removed [or covered up].

I've really been searching hard for the "sinister face" in the images from page 1-10 of this thread, but I'm still striking out! Sad

I realized today that Bob gave a few clues which I didn't pay close enough attention to, so I thought I'd repeat them below and speculate on just what they mean.

Perhaps Bob will need to correct some false assumptions I've made. So . . . here goes!

Well...as I said it must be very subliminal. From the clues it sounds like it's an "intentional" depiction that was altered to "tone down" the image.

Boy....I'm non plused to say the least!

OK...Here's another possible answer....

In this picture the vase behind Adams has what appears to be a "face" with glowing eyes. Actually, it's a reflection from the studio lights. Here's a closeup...

If that's not it...I'm stumped!!!

If it makes you guys feel any better, I never saw it at first either. I passed over it thousands of times, never noticing it was there. It took me a very long time to happen upon it, and only because I noticed a 'change' in the artwork that didn't make any sense. After investigating why, it popped out at me.

Since I have mercy for Bud, I'll narrow it down even further for you guys. You can find the hidden face within the first five pages of the Forbidden Planet Forum.

One last hint. I also told Bud on Saturday or Sunday when we spoke, that " ... it's a big W ...." [stealing a line from 'IT'S A MAD MAD MAD WORLD'. Smile

[to Gord] Meaning; if you look too small, you won't find it. Likewise, if you look too overly large you won't find it either.

[to Bud] Thank you for listing all of the clues. None of them are misleading. Except maybe by me calling it a dragon, which it is not, it's a face that is very hungry. Smile

Bob, we're loving this treasure hunt, and I know that the last thing any of us wants is for nobody to find the answer! Sad

Please feel free to hold off on revealing the solution as long as you want! But of course, teasing us with more glues as the game goes on is exactly what we all love! Smile

Bob, a few years ago we all spent months trying to find what this damn thing is, and even though we dug up info about its history in many different movies and TV series all the way back to a 1930s serial . . . we still don't know who first designed and built this work of art! Shocked

Just FYI: We all refer to it now as . . . the Gizmo!

Of course it looks like a "face"...I think we've always realized that. But....no one glaring eye...no tongue hanging out...Doesn't really fit the description.

Two things.

1) I click on the link and I get a message stating:

So something is wrong!

2) How do I down-load your electronic tonalities/music?

Hi Eadie, I have no idea what link you’re talking about. The link above your post is a YouTube link. It goes to a movie clip for a tongue-in-cheek look at the big W. What is Savefrom Net?

As for downloading my tonalities from SoundCloud, I have no idea, I haven’t logged in to that site in almost 10 years.

Looked, didn't see it. But looking at the first few pages, something did occur to me. When the Id is breaking into the lab, Adams draws his blaster to kill Morbius. How? Robby disabled his and Doc's blasters earlier.

I guess he could have stabbed Morbius to death with the emitter, or beaten him to death with the handle. But he would have had to act quickly. Anyway you look at it, Altaira was going to be VERY traumatized.

The proper YouTube™ site for The Big W is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r97Nv8N7-mI

I only know about SaveFrom.net from the message. Even a Google search gave nothing. My provider is from HughesNet satellite.

Even Robby has one of those days!

The crew class B uniform modified for The Twilight Zone episodes Death Ship and On Thursday We Leave For Home:

This was taken at night along the Amazon river by a special camera. It shows a tree glowing by Rhadophyll.

Rhadophyll is a coined term about plants that naturally use a mixture of chlorophyll, carotenoid and anthocyanin where the chlorophyll is dominated by the other chemicals so the plant naturally is red in color. It's very unusual for this glow. That's still being studied.:

This is what's happened on Altair IV due to the star's emission spectrum according to a study by Victoria Meadows of the Virtual Planet Laboratory (VPL) at Caltech.

Did you know that the early Earth was purple? info at

Eadie, I did a little online digging and found out that users can only download tracks from Soundcloud if the artist (in this case, Bob Tarmac) has set his account to allow downloads.

Bob probably didn't do that back when he was using Soundcloud, and as he stated above, he hasn't even logged on in ten years.

We'll just have to listen on our computers. Sad

As for The Great Monster Face Hunt, remember that its something we see IN THE MOVIE (not posters or preproduction artwork).

And — according to Bod — it's something we see EARLY in the movie. But we also see it again later, and the whatever-it-is has been altered somehow, so the "face" is less discernible.

Today Bob repeated the importance of remember the Big W from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. He obviously knows we're going to all slap our foreheads and say, "Doh!" when he reveals the answer and we suddenly realize that it's been starring us in the face.

Especially since he just told us that it's located on page one of this thread. Shocked
