Dorno in Halloween behind the scenes by Bowen12a

Dorno is the son of Zandor, leader of the Herculoids, and his wife Tara, a family of three humans and their five very powerful pet creatures defending their jungle planet.  The Herculoids were the subjects of an American animated television series, which debuted in 1967 and was revived in 1981 on CBS and produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

I imagine that Dorno, being a youthful, semi-heroic sidekick who got into frequent trouble in the Herculoids, would be the perfect victim in teen slasher films after the cancellation of his television series, portraying a cocky, capable self confidence, until he encounters the villain. 

The 9-picture series "Dorno in Halloween" was one that I commissioned from Bowen12a through DeviantART in 2017.  Four pictures are available here.  The rest can be seen in "Dorno in Halloween"

These pictures were inspired by the "Halloween" horror movie franchise.


Dorno gains a respite from the insanely strong serial killer Michael Myers when the villain impatiently pulls his knife arm away from his victim's grip in order to try again to plunge it into the boy's chest.  The attractive, athletic youth now uses both hands to stop the killer's momentum but finds that this decision leaves Myers with a free hand, which is used to grip the unfortunate boy's throat.  Faced with the choice of (a) continuing to resist the killer's knife arm with both hands and weakening under the villain's grip around his throat or (b) trying to pry the killer's fingers from around his throat with one hand and trying to maintain resistance to the villain's knife arm with one less hand, the shirtless pretty boy Dorno finds that Michael Myers' cold, hard blade has plunged into his firm young chest and that his warm, youthful blood is flowing out of his body. .

In the behind-the-scenes picture, Michael Myers is tickling Dorno.

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in the Herculoids and Dorno.  Despite appearaces, Michael Myers is a professional.  These are original scenes and did not appear in the series or in any other derivative media.
