Sandy Frank and Wife Assault Each Other

In the weird-but-true department, 81-year-old Sandy Frank and his 57-year-old wife, Brenda, have both been charged with assault for throwing drinking glasses at each other. Gamera would definitely not approve.

    Brenda must have made the mistake of asking for a divorce and was puzzled and angry when her husband cackled like a madman and then shouted, “YOU’RE STUCK HERE!”

    The man does look quite frightning. If you look him in the eyes he steals your soul and then buys the rights to your likeness and refuses to let you be on dvds.

    Wow, the guy who’s always often accused of being the reason why the Gamera episodes (along with the Fugetive Alien episodes, Mighty Jack and Time of the Apes) are “lost” actually ASSULTED his own wife? Geez! To think a guy who brought these rediculous Japanese monster kids films to America would actually do something like this. :shock:

    And apologies for sounding rude, but MAN, the dude looks like he had plastic surgery on him. O_o

    When I scrolled down to the pics it was like J&TB reaction to a jump cut close up WOOOOOFFFFF!!!! Who let the dogs out?!

    I agree that Verger was modeled after him. I wonder if Sandy was a silent backer for Hannibal?

    By the way, here’s something I wonder about Mr. Frank:

    I have heard from many places on the net that Kevin Murphy confirmed years ago about the whole Sandy Frank drama with the MST episodes that he wasn’t offended at what the Brains did to his versions of the films, but just wanted alot of money because of their success, in order for them to be shown again. Anyone know the source to this, by any chance?

    I couldn’t help but take note from one of the comments on the site:

    “Pretty wild – I worked for Sandy Frank in the early 80’s – at the time, he was a total maniac, entertained scores of women throughout the day in his office, and wouldn’t have hesitated to throw his own mother under the bus if it would have generated a sale. It’s been 25 years – he hasn’t aged well.”

    Sandy’s skull is dangerously close to exiting through his skin.
    On the up side, maybe the ex-wife will get the rights to the Gamera movies in the settlement and release them to Shout Factory!

    Looks like she’ll file for divorce. Hopefully she’ll get rights to half of the MST3K movies. :grin:

    As far as the pictures, I agree with the sentiments of my fellow MSTies. It’s no wonder that she’s a “former model.” No one would ever hire her now.

    Really funny quips. Sampo should caution folks before they jump to the link. It honestly startled me!

    I wonder if any children came from this union and what sideshow they’re working at?

    That’s because it doesn’t sound like Mr. Frank has done anything in his personal or professional life to deserve any sympathy.
