It’s BACK!!! Chris and Cindy return to the House of Franklin-Stein!!! Our Halloween Horror series kicks off with a look at the classic Hammer film, The Vampire Lovers! Based on Sheridan Le Fanu’s “Carmilla”, Ingrid Pitt stars as a vampire with a lust for love…and blood! She targets young girls who she longs to make her own…in her own vampiric image, that is! Will Peter Cushing and a group of vampire hunters stop her in time?

Then we dig into the cobweb covered comic long boxes to read Action Comics Annual #1, by John Byrne, Art Adams and Dick Giordano. In this early Post-Crisis tale, the World’s Finest team of Superman and Batman must unite to face the unholy threat of a seemingly innocent young girl named “Skeeter”!

Listen on!

Bela Lugosi dons the neck bolts and flattop to battle Lon Chaney, Jr. in the Universal Horror classic, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man! Plus a comic featuring one of these creepy creatures!

We made it to a second episode! Bass, Furn, Marty I won’t just be covering classic romance comics, but more contemporary romances as well. In that spirit, we tackle – though not without some digressions – the Superman/Lois Lane/Wonder Woman relationship controversy. On what side do you fall? STRONG LANGUAGE – LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED! ALSO, AWKWARD DATING!!!

And don’t worry, if you’re a fan of classic romance comics, Romance Comics Theater returns with 1972’s “Mini Must Go!” from Charlton’s Love and Romance #6!

Then Chris and Cindy finally dig through the heaping pile of mail you’ve been kind enough to send them, and cover your feedback!
