Thank you. We aim to please. I like movies about young women in flimsy nightgowns terrorized by frogmen? Am I in the right place? A few years ago I saw a film about a werefrog at a festival. Apparently the original plan was to be about a werewolf but werewolves are very hard to do well on a tight budget and timespan whereas non furry werebeasts are a comparative doddle. The werefrog was a teenage girl though so she didn't do any young women terrorising. |

 Stephen Spurrier: ( Illustrated London News, 24 Nov. 1930). Fresh from driving a young man to despair, Marion Lane attends the dance at the Mannings' on December 27th. Somehow she finds herself partnering a taciturn guest she can't quite recognise. Concluding his goodbye letter, James Chichester expressed a wish that " ... before I die (or after, it doesn't much matter!) I should like to see you unmasked so that for a moment I can compare the reality with the illusion I used to cherish." |

It's a fairly obvious one, but "Smee" by A M Burrage fits the bill. You can read it for free - right here. |

 Chester, Sunday Pictorial, 4 October 1936 : ( Ghosts Helpful and Harmful, 1924). A tragedy at a family fancy dress party to celebrate the engagement of the youngest daughter. Perhaps the excitement proved too much for the bride-to-be, who was found dead in her locked bedroom mid-occasion. The poor girl's ghost is stuck with the grotesque mask she was wearing as she died. Haunted Premises in question are "near Markham-square" (author is not at liberty to divulge exact location). A version reappears as Chelsea's Masked Phantom in the Sunday Pictorial, 4 October 1936, which is where I read it. |

Nellie K. Blissett - Bal Masque: ( Pearsons, October 1900. St. Boniface. Lucy, who is dying, insists Jim buy two tickets for the carnival which, to humour her, he must then attend and imagine she is there with him; "and I shall lie here and imagine I am too. It'll be nearly the same thing after all." Jim reluctantly complies. Short and desperately sad.
