DEATH |
||
On the slightly odd and magicaly enhanced
Discworld, anthropomorphic personifications take on a life (or, in case of DEATH,
an existence) of their own. Death is your classic seven-foot tall skeleton with pinpoints
of blue fire in his eyesockets. He is not as most people make out the ruthless destroyer
of people, plants and the occasional cow, but rather a timeserver who has all Eternity to
serve. |

Possible Casting: Death from Bill & Ted, Death from
Scrooged, Creature Effects by Stan Winston (did Aliens, Terminator and many others), Jim
Hensons Creature Workshop or ILM. A notable mention: 1st female Death: Wendie Malick (Nina Van Horn from "Just Shoot Me.")

The picture to the left was submitted by Jo Adell as a
possible Death. Thanks Jo. Hmmm, he might be a little too eerie, perhaps she's an earlier more primal Death but still worth a mention. She probably doesn't do movies though. More from Jo: She (yes, SHE), does movies and leads a band of musical dancing corpses known as the Danse MAcabre in Northern California |
