Well, he was played by Jim French, Imagination Theater's founder, so you're absolutely right. Cheers for the comment in the online poll, Charles!

Just finished "Tales of Terror from the Black Ship", which I was unaware of until peterc mentioned it here, so thanks peter! Some very nice, atmospheric tales, here, with a very satisfying wraparaound story. Hopefully Priestley will be adding to what looks like a series before long.

Watched it and will be tuning in for the rest of the week. Really enjoyed it, thought it had some effectively horrible moments. Looking forward to seeing how it develops now the whole thing's set up.

I love the way that Phibes manages to get hold of all these elaborate props (giant gin bottle, unicorn catapult etc) at the drop of a hat! Maybe he has an account with ACME, same as Wile E. Coyote?

Thanks, chaps. I'm rather looking forward to hearing it myself. Lurks - at long last i followed up your Uncle Montague's Tales of Terror recommendation and you're right, it's brilliant! So glad you're enjoying it, Dem. It wasn't quite what I expected, as I thought it might be toned down for the children's market or pretty tongue-in-cheek, but it's actually pretty nasty and very, very creepy. I spotted your comments on "The Un-Door" and it's a particular favourite of mine too.

Favourite death in the first film is the catapulted unicorn, purely for the scene where they have to unscrew the victim. The death by Brussels Sprouts and locusts is pretty memorable too.
The scorpions in the second film make for a scene I find difficult to watch. Very nasty.
And Valli Kemp would be my Vulnavia of choice were I to embark on a madcap revenge-driven killing spree.

I've already mentioned this in the Black Book of Horror thread, but the radio version of my story in the first BBoH is the Halloween production for Imagination Theater, airing in the USA on 26th October. It will be available to download via I.T.'s LISTEN NOW page for two weeks starting on 3rd November. jimfrenchproductions.com/zc137m/index.php?main_page=page&id=6&chapter=0

That cover illustration, by Les Edwards, previously appeared as the cover for Aidan Chambers' "Haunted Houses" published by Piccolo in 1989.

Fantastic. I've only had limited dealings with Hugh but he was, towards a total stranger, polite, helpful, encouraging and enthusiastic to help. A gentleman and a scholar!

The cover for "The Seal of Dracula" was originally one of the movie posters for the first "Dark Shadows" spin-off film, "The House of Dark Shadows". Blond vampire girl is Nancy Barrett as Carolyn Collins, though the big, old vampire head looks nothing like Barnabas.
