Guillermo del Toro, a master of making on-screen monsters, unveiled his latest at Comic-Con on Saturday: the Jangly Man, from his upcoming film “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.”
A decomposing corpse that is very much alive, the Jangly Man has a lopsided face with a menacing expression, including two sets of teeth in one smiling mouth. At times he has six appendages, and delivers frights while both standing upright and crawling backwards.
Played by contortionist Troy James in a foam-latex suit, the Jangly Man is an amalgamation of a few drawings by Stephen Gammell, who illustrated the Alvin Schwartz book series on which the film is based.Using primarily practical effects, Del Toro and his team worked hard to do justice to Gammell’s black-and-white illustrations, which have haunted Del Toro since he first encountered the book series as a Texas teen. “They were so creepy, so unsettling,” he recalled.
The team explained that the eerie Big Toe has crackled skin and is missing the nominal digit, while the Pale Lady has long hair and wide-apart eyes on an egg-like face.
