ONLY ONE MORE DAY...

UNTIL THE COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN 2015

Here's a little something to tide you over...

COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN (Day 30): MONSTER CARRY-ON

From old movies, comics and television, we all know that the monsters, mutants, monkeys and missing links are easily obsessed with our women.  They like 'em, they like 'em a lot!  Maybe even as much as we seem to like them--or more!

This usually ends up with at least a scene  or two in which a menace has seized ahold of a gal and walked off with her in his arms or over his shoulder...

But there is one character, one monster who out-carries them all!  Dracula from Marvel's macabre and moody classic "TOMB OF DRACULA"!

Just check out the greatest creature of the night in action:

That''s all for now, folks, but stay tuned tomorrow--Halloween itself, for my wee little tribute to the Creature who hails from the Black Lagoon!

COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN (Day 23): STATION IDENTIFICATION

Now we've come to the part of our show where we take a break from all of the Horror Hosting to focus more on the imagery that one can find.

Remember kids, this slideshow may be eerie and strange and it may tickle parts of your brain that you don't even know you have, but don't worry, that just means it's working!

And remember, chances are you can click on one of these images to make it 'spode to full size for a better look--that is, if you dare!

Here we go:

THE COUNTDOWN TO HALLOWEEN: DAY 30

(Frankenstein's Flea Market)

Since the ol' clock is winding down and the candle's getting low, I figure it's time to unload some of these items I planned on making better use of for the Countdown this year, but just didn't quite get around to.

These things happen, and it just goes to show that no matter how well prepared one might think they are, sometimes life gets in the way.  I don't want to refer to much of this as leftovers or remnants or spares, but more like an anthology.  I'm sure, once they're all pieced together like a patchwork Frankenstein monster the entire picture will become more clear!

Never fear, reader, dear, there's still a goodly focus on Bram Stoker's novel on the last day--the holiest day on my calendar.  But in the meantime, let us see what we have in our files...

Here we have what I believe to be a Jack Davis illustration of Bela's Dracula--
