My name's Matt, and I just only found out about this website recently due to viewing many Dwight fan videos on youtube. And yeah, I seem to be one of the few male fans who loves Dwight Frye.
I fell in love with horror films four years ago, ever since I watched Halloween. From then on, I was hooked. I got into the Universal horror films not long after and discovered Dwight's performance as Renfield in Dracula. With so much passion and conviction, he's just as important to that film's success as Bela Lugosi or Edward Van Sloan was. Same with Frankenstein. He's an integral part of that movie along with Boris Karloff and Colin Clive.
A year ago, after becoming more and more a fan of his work, along with several other horror actors, I started checking out more of his work, and I became a true Frye-ite.
I wrote a biography for him on www.classic-horror.com. I consider it to be one of my finest writing samples so far. A lot of help came from the biography Dwight Frye's Last Laugh.
I'm an aspiring filmmaker/screenwriter. At the moment, I'm working on a very long poem called The Thousand-Watt Stare, which is pretty much my love letter not just to Dwight, but to all classic horror stars. It's basically like Tim Burton's Vincent, but about Dwight. I plan on getting it published (hopefully in comic book form) and possibly make it into a short stop motion film just like Vincent.
My ultimate goal as a filmmaker/writer is to make everyone more aware of all horror actors, those that are fairly well known by many, and those that aren't, like Dwight. Just like how many horror directors are scholars of horror actors (Tim Burton - Vincent Price, Fred Olen Ray - Rondo Hatton, etc) I plan on becoming a scholar of Dwight Frye and everything about him.
Feel free to message me here or on Facebook; name is Matt Majeski.
Thanks!
