Before coming to work on this Star Trek show which premiered in 1987, Curry previously worked on the 1986 film Friday the 13th Part VI. This film, of course, brought Jason Voorhees back to life after his previous death at Corey Feldman’s hands in The Final Chapter.
While the hockey mask-wearing killer had always been sturdy, it is this film that resurrects him as a super-strong and nearly unkillable zombie monster.
That brings us to the obvious question: why would this Star Trek episode in particular utilize a morph technique as seen in a Friday the 13th movie? Basically, “The Dauphin” had a plot twist where a beautiful young woman whom Wesley fell in love with and her governess could transform into freaky monsters.
The morph effect in question was utilized to showcase this transformation, one that looked suitably startling to 1980s audiences watching at home on CRT televisions.
