Lord Fear's Helmet

[GrimaldineGrimwold]

Wow, never knew that. It seems they paid great attention to detail in using the Chromakey technology. Certainly there's none of the hideous mistakes that other shows of the period made while using it (actors disappearing into backgrounds, horrible edging appearing around actors and such). I guess they made certain of everything since it was to be so central to the look of the programme, whereas many other shows just thought "Oooh, lets add some blue screen technology!" and then went on to mess it up.

yeah i had to research that for the rpg last year (issues with, glasses and weapons mainly)

[Stephy24_7]

Um...I actually preferred the white skull helmet. It made me scared! Reminds me of Voldemort (Harry Potter books).

[Rainecloud]

The skull cap looked a bit like a bicycle helmet. How silly.

[Emii]

I think I'm on the 'Preferring-the-shiny-helmet' side - the skull one made him look like a bonehead (excuse the expression)

[JamesA]

I'm with Emii here as I reckon Lord Fear looked liked Coco The Clown in Series 8, esp. with all that face paint  ;D

[Treguard]

Wasn't coco the clown a character in one of the episodes on "Are you afraid on the dark?"  How long has that been running btw, i've still got episodes from the first series

I know this topic is ancient but I wanted to reply to it, so there

Which of Lord Fear's two helmets is best? I think the first one, the silver one with all the funny little...dents in it (can't think of how else to describe them, lol!). It goes well with his costume. The skull helmet was really cool but was a bit too tight, methinks!

[MPK]

I agree that the first helmet was the best.

The second would have worked better depending on the skull design... it should have been angrier, more...evil if you will!

We could also talk about the entire dress code of Fear... did people like the cross between Dracula/Gallifreyan cloak? Or the newer one?

[Thanatos]

I prefer the earlier one but still think the later was among the programmes better costume items.

[LordF]

I thought the original helmet and costume were the better ones in my opinion. It's just because Lord F looked like a Lord in them while in the Series 8 one he looked less of a Lord.

I agree with MPK the the earlier costume was a cross between Dracula/Gallifreyan cloak.

[Emii]

Less of a Lord and more like a Bonehead.

the skull helmet was really funny
