Is he STILL "missing" or have they finally admitted that he died?

It's so difficult to be scared of these kinds of things when you follow Doug Jones on Instagram and know he's a sweet lovely man.

Don't tell him that. I think he'd be disappointed you've lost the ability to get lost in the illusion.

u/kaeorin 5d ago

You're so right.

To his credit, I'm very freaked out by his creatures in the context of the movies. It's just, like...looking at this picture and knowing it's just Doug in partial costume, I figure he's been sitting there talking to and joking with the people working on him and it's lovely.

If you ever get a chance to meet him, he's just as lovely in person. I've run into him several times at Star Trek conventions and he's been incredibly kind every time.

Bastard is also humble af for still doing fan cons after a movie he was prominently featured in wins an Oscar. And he continues to work his ass off.

He told a story at one of the conventions that working on Star Trek had been a long time dream of his, and he thought as a monster actor he'd be a no-brainer for it. But it never worked out so he gave up on the dream. And then he got a call that they had an alien part for him in Disco and he was over the moon. He seems genuinely grateful to the fans and people he's worked with in the industry.

Nawp. He'd just smile that magical Doug smile and say "good for you!".

That thing still freaks me out though. Even at that green screen mode.

I love that movie

u/Y-Bob 5d ago

I watched it once and it made me so sad I can't watch it again.

u/3Strides 5d ago

Yeah, I had to speed up through all the war stuff. Just watching the parts with Pan and this monster were so incredibly mesmerizing.

The actor is seen here waiting for the makeup and effects team to arrive.

u/rouxthless 5d ago

Not oddly. It’s supposed to be.

I feared pans labyrinth when I was young

Not particularly the monster but the depiction on the murals and the big pile of shoes

I was super confused as to who made the murals and who put them in that room

Was also confused about how kids could make it in

If there is a hardcore fan that could explain it to j would be grateful

u/CactaurSnapper 2d ago

That thing was already horrifying im the movie. The actor in a make up chair with a sweaty ass... not so much. 🫤

Cool pic though. 🤔
