A thread I just posted to Bluesky. Dunno if anyone here might appreciate it.
Quite the humbling experience.

Was reading a book by one of Mel Blanc's sound engineers and was reading this recap of a commercial session that Mel and Paul Frees did together. And while I am rather disheartened to hear that they didn't get along (as I love them both), the fact that, somewhere, there's an outtake of Bugs Bunny and the Ghost Host (or perhaps Daffy Duck and Ludwig Von Drake) essentially casting Vicious Mockery on each other is something that I, admittedly, would be morbidly curious to hear someday.
(Release the tapes, Noel!!!)
#Mel Blanc#Paul Frees#also makes the fact that I based 2 brothers in my Lionheart & Kid novel on Mel and Paul mean that I basically put em in a Get Along Shirt#don't mind me#the Lionheart & Kid Saga

I found an extended recording of most if not all of the lines that Paul Frees did for the Ghost Host in the Haunted Mansion! It's so funny to listen to because I didn't realize his voice was just like that, and hearing the eloquent and mysterious Ghost Host stammer is so unexpected.

The Night Walker (1964)
"Have you ever dreamed that you were flying, flying into strange places, far beyond the worlds we know? Yes, that's it: fly. Fly! Maybe you can get away after all... fly! Fly! No. There's no escape. Now you're falling, falling... and they say if you ever complete that fall in a dream, you'll be dead. Yes, there's death in your dreams, too. Death and blood and the realm beyond death - the realm of eternity."

Castle eschewed his usual stunts and theatre gimmicks in favour of the high#profile Stanwyck Taylor casting‚ and there's no onscreen intro by him either (but the opening narration we do get by Frees overlays some of#the most impressive imagery in the whole film�� visual interpretations of dreams and nightmares that stand alongside some of the best trippy#visuals of this era). the plot is so much hokum but i must admit it kept me guessing to some degree; Stanwyck is very fine playing against#type‚ and Bochner makes for a suitably otherworldly dream figure. the final black and white feature from Universal studios‚ the lukewarm#reception of this film marked the beginning of the end of Castle's reign as a horror king of US cinema. he'd wanted Joan Crawford for the#lead and that's a film I'd have been very interested to see but props to Babs on a strong performance#outside of the dream stuff this owes a fair debt to Hitchcock's Psycho (which had been Bloch's own stepping stone into the film biz)

"The Captain & the Goose"
What do Peter “Wrong-Way” Peachfuzz & the Choose Goose have in common?
They’re both played by one of my favorite voice actors (Paul Frees & Jeff Bennett respectively) doing hilarious Ed Wynn impressions.
Also I just really wanted to draw Choose Goose in a Jay Ward-ian style.
(The choice of the “Fuzzy Comet” line is because of the famous “Goof Gas Outtake.” Check it out if you need a good laugh.)
