While the newer versions of the mask are from the same molds, (yes, they’re still being sold today!) the quality of plastic isn’t as good as it was in the ’60s. The masks added an eerie sense of threat in an indescribable manner. The gift shop will also be open during your visit to the museum. The museum also gives tours, visiting the homes, murder sites, and graves of deceased celebrities both notorious and beloved, from Manson to Marilyn. The tours, while macabre, are deeply researched journeys given by lifelong aficionados.

With ‘Alien’ back in theaters, ‘Alien: Romulus’ director teases how the new film connects

I saw a house from one of my favorite movies,” said O’Connor, 52. The house, which is estimated to have been built in 1920, served as a private residence prior to becoming a museum, except when Coppola used it for the screen adaptation of Hinton's novel, circa 1982. The film has maintained a following, and is also notable due to its young cast, who all had subsequently major acting careers. I did enjoy the fact that Shame was one of the only villains in the Batman series allowed to brandish a real firearm, though he wasn’t very good at its utilization. Wally’s list is below — along with a few more shots of the villains section of the exhibit. Our website is made possible bydisplaying online advertisements to our visitors.

He put out the word to fans of The Outsiders, asking for donations to begin the project. After years of renovations, obstacles, and setbacks, the museum opened to the public in August 2019. DiCaprio, who was in northeast Oklahoma for the filming of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” showed up to the Outsiders House during business hours and took a tour in July. Guests will then arrive at The Outsiders House Museum, where you will be invited inside the historic Curtis Brothers home, to view our extensive collection of memorabilia from both the Coppola film and the Hinton novel. Restrooms, refreshments, and gift shop are all located in The General Store at the museum. As a cost-cutting measure, the costumers were forced to use a series of modified translucent Halloween masks to facilitate False Face’s multiple disguises.

Pony Boy walks home from movie

Hinton, it tells the story of a group of young working class men (the “greasers”) and their feud with the rich, privileged kids from the other side of town (the “Socs,” short for Socials). Two greasers, Ponyboy Curtis (played by C. Thomas Howell) and Johnny Cade (played by Ralph Macchio), become involved in a murder, and the repercussions affect everyone involved. “They came through and were fans as well,” O’Connor said, noting that frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has ties to Oklahoma – his mother is from the Sooner State. Still, when he would crisscross the country on tours or just traveling, he’d always make a beeline for Oklahoma. This corner across the street from Boston Avenue United Methodist Church is where the bus mirror almost knocked Two-Bit in the face. The Outsiders House Museum is dedicated to the preservationof the home and memorabilia used in The Outsiders, filmedby Francis Ford Coppola in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1982.

After extensive renovations to restore and maintain its authenticity from the film, it opened to the public on August 9, 2019. In the early ‘80s, Oscar winning director Francis Ford Coppola came to Tulsa, OK to catapult S.E. Hinton’s memorable characters off the pages of The Outsiders book onto the big screen. Rather than use a Hollywood back lot, the film maker and crew transformed an ordinary Tulsa neighborhood into a fully functioning movie set.

There is currently a discounted price for school field trips. Ideally, we hope to eventually have a low-cost or no cost program in place.

Once in disrepair, the house where the 1983 film was shot has been restored and turned into a museum.

In 1983, The Outsiders was released, featuring a cast of young, talented actors who would go on to become household names. The museum includes film memorabilia, including furniture, photos, posters and the leather jacket worn by Dillon's character, Dallas Winston. In the early ‘80s, Oscar-winning director Francis Ford Coppola came to Tulsa to catapult S. E. Hinton’s memorable characters from her best-selling novel, "The Outsiders," onto the big screen. The filmmaker and crew transformed an ordinary Tulsa neighborhood into a fully-functioning movie set. We are excited to offer student tours in support of the educational mission of The Outsiders House Museum.

Thomas Howell, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, Diane Lane, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez and Tom Cruise. The Outsiders House Museum was created by Danny Boy O'Connor, formerly of the hip-hop group House of Pain.

And in retrospect it’s fun to take note of how the Penguin is vastly different from Mickey Goldmill, who’s vastly different from V.C.R. Cameron, who’s vastly different from Henry Bemis. He was one of the truly gifted actors of our time, and seeing an 80-something Burgess Meredith waddle across the stage at a screening of the 1966 Batman movie in 1989 is something I’ll never forget. While it would be considerably easier for me to list my LEAST favorite villains, listing my MOST favorite villains proved to be a bigger challenge. So, for the first time ever in 13th Dimension history (I think), we have A 13-WAY TIE!! They’re ALL my absolute, top favorites for their own special reasons. When Dan asked me to list my 13 favorite Batman 1966 villains, it was a bit like being asked to rank your favorite children.
