Great stuff, but could have done without the Basil Rathbone imagery. I always think of Jeremy Brett whenever I think of Holmes. He WAS Holmes.

I’ve seen test footage done by Jim Danforth of several scenes for a Sherlock Holmes film(s). In one of them there is a giant snow baboon, and one where there is a dinosaur. Mr. Danforth is considered by many to be the heir apparent to Ray Harryhausen and his creatures are all done with stop motion animation. The stills from these scenes looked great to me! http://pharosproductions.com/aosma/aosma_masters_danforth.html

Oh yeah!. Hound of the Baskervilles is almost like a mothman-like creature. Only thing missing was the glowing red eyes

I have a large edition of Sherlock Holmes stories, including one which could be considered cryptozoological, “The Hound of the Baskervilles.” Holmes was always my second-favorite fictional detective (the first wears a cape and a mask and patrols Gotham City-yes, of course, that is Batman). Interestingly enough, Batman creator Bob Kane took his character’s penchant for disguises and detective skills from Holmes. So there is a bit of Sherlock Holmes in the Dark Knight.

On Animal Planet “The Real Lost World” was a real interesting documentary. I remember that cryptozoologist from Australia. But I forgot his name though?

Here is a gallery of artwork by McKinstry for “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Lost World”. Beautiful stuff.
