Tom Baker (best known as the fourth Doctor Who) was particulary good as a manic wild-eyed Rasputin in the '71 epic Nicholas and Alexandra. Or how about Christopher Lee in the Hammer Horror gem 'Mad Monk' (great title!).<BR/><BR/>Viking Metal band Turisas recently covered the seminal Boney M 70s disco classic 'Rasputin'. It's fun!Löst Jimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907139441842698894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277207757772078456.post-75280986032779768762008-06-20T22:52:00.000-04:002008-06-20T22:52:00.000-04:00I had a friend, who's father was an arms and antiq...I had a friend, who's father was an arms and antiques dealer. He worked in Russia often.<BR/>I saw LOTS of deeply creepy things in their house, things that as Dr, Jones would say "aught to be in a museum", but the CREEPIEST thing I saw, was an original photograph of Rasputin. <BR/>It watched you.<BR/>That is the only way I can describe it, like every time you passed it, if felt like he was sitting there, watching you.<BR/><BR/>Whenever I read an HB story with Rasputin in it,, I think of that picture, and it makes the stories MUCH crepier, even though they are fiction.Erin Kubinekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17224873582599266596noreply@blogger.com
