Plot This chapter tells the origin of the mysterious being called Matinee Monster, named Oscar Oddman who in 1949 was an actor typecast as Frankenstein and a tragic accident fueled by his insecurity made him fall into Hyde Street. In this place Scorekeeper disfigured and humiliated him, leaving him without eyes or tongue which prevents him from communicating and ironically it is the cliché of movie monsters, forcing him to search for souls, but Matinee Man never did it, he even has the soul of the Butcher of Hyde Street trapped. Pranky is still upset about having lost the souls he almost caught for Scorekeeper at Christmas, so he dusted off his monster hunting manual, so the next chapter promises to be a battle between these exceptiona l beings. This story uses as a template the golden age of monster movies in Hollywood, where the Star System was cruel to actors who had physical qualities of monsters, all these circumstances offer an interesting realism. Hyde Street continues to introduce chilling new characters who are connected by painful tragedies in their lives, and who we can relate to in their pain. Art Ivan Reis offers his organic art, full of mesmerizing details, that gives a gloomy tone to seemingly harmless moments, with excellent facial expressions and a magnificent handling of body language. Summary Oscar suffers a tragedy due to his own insecurity and is tortured into playing the cruel cosmic game of Scorekeeper, but his humanity remains intact, which makes him gain dangerous enemies like Pranky. more

This is my favorite issue of Hyde Street so far. While the protagonists in previous issues were pretty much horrible human beings before meeting their fate on Hyde Street, Oscar Oddman, the Matinee Monster, is relatable from the start, which makes his inevitable demise even more tragic.
