i don't think i'll ever be satisfied w any design i draw zaroff with. he is a mystery to me. like going story accurate would be nice... or that one depiction of him on the wikipedia article... or that one film adaptation... i mean rlly he's in the public domain, so i really could go nuts, but like

zaroff: *sees Prepare the Die Edition" Holy shit. This is awesome

[hanging out with general zaroff] "man is the most dangerous game"? maybe back in medieval times or whenever you're from, these days dark souls is the most dangerous game, because you die so often

Yeah, hunting as in ‘The Most Dangerous Game’ kind of hunting. Where people are dying, children are being left traumatized and parentless and Lord only knows what else.
He thinks he’s bloody Count Zaroff.

Zaroff would totally be the type of dude to have three servants grind souls for him and assist him when fighting bosses, and then brag about how easy the game was for him.

Yesterday in Brussels, we had a bit of time so we went to the Musée de la Bande Dessinée, because fuck aye, comics
Nice sections on BDQ (bandes dessinées quebecois) and manga, as well as the main bit on Belgian comics history,
AND THERE WAS AN ORIGINAL LADY SNOWBLOOD PAGE BY KAZUO KAMIMURA!!!

i can't draw zaroff without wanting to draw van buren. life is so difficult for me and me only. u_u oh well. back to drawing. wish me luck, gang

Ooh, Zaroff had no idea there was an audience.

The kids understand the class struggle message at the heart of The Most Dangerous Game. "Does general Zaroff remind us of anyone? Do we see any similarities to this story about a rich person torturing+killing poor people because they are bored?"
Student: "Epstein literally had an island too."

Reading Most Dangerous Game to the kids and getting to the part with the big reveal.
General Zaroff: I found a new animal to hunt- one that is capable of reason.
Rainsford: But no animal is capable of reason.
Zaroff: There is one that can.

The most dangerous game but Zaroff is a PETA guy

I'm guessing that ICE is going to start quoting the Hounds of Zaroff and treating Zaroff as the hero any day now

Underwater Menace has one of my favourite insults "May the wrath of Amdo engulf you!"
Zaroff has a good reply, "I'll take my chances, get out!"

Inspired by a #metafilter fanfare post, I finally got around to seeing the original Most Dangerous Game #film. It's pretty good - weirdly paced by today's standards but short enough (62 minutes) to never be boring.

The version on YouTube is high quality.

I wonder if the shooting was a last minute change which is why it’s a bit of a rubbish effect on screen. As scripted Zaroff was meant to hurl a spear and the cliffhanger was not on the classic line

#100HorrorMoviesIn92Days 63/100: The Most Dangerous Game (1932)

A classic for a reason! A lil heavy on the dialogue pushing things forward but when it gets going it really gets going. I can see why this gets so much acclaim haha boxd.it/27Gc
The Most Dangerous Game (1932)
When legendary hunter Bob Rainsford is shipwrecked on the perilous reefs surrounding a mysterious island, he finds himself the guest of the reclusive and eccentric Count Zaroff. While he is very graci...

Hmmm

How's about Zaroff, in a small paper boat (possibly in a tub or sink), but treating it no differently than if he were on the high seas?

(I realize I always suggest Valerie with you but I've never suggested the seafaring kitty.)

One time when I was in 10th grade, my friends and I made a short film of The Most Dangerous Game, and when we watched it back, we realized my friend's portrayal of General Zaroff came off like an offensive gay stereotype, so we started over and didn't turn in that version.
