Cryonics, cryopreservation, suspended animation via freezing & Co.These were all I could come up with. Maybe the SF fans among us can add more? Virgil Finlay, Frozen Beauty, Weird Tales, Feb. 1938. D. Rainey, The Frozen Tomb, Supernatural Stories #67, Nov. 1962. H. P. Lovecraft - Cool Air: ( Tales of Magic and Mystery, March 1928: Weird Tales, Sept 1939; Cry Horror!, 1958). Seabury Quinn - Frozen Beauty: ( Weird Tales, Feb. 1938: Peter Haining [ed.], Weird Tales, 1976). Gerald Kersh - Frozen Beauty: ( John Bull, 29 Nov. 1941 [as by 'Waldo Kellar': Nightshade and Damnation, 1969). Dannie Plachta – Revival Meeting: ( Galaxy , Sept. 1969: Sebastian Wolfe - The Little Book Of Horrors (Xanadu, 1992) Sydney J. Bounds - Cold Sleep: (Mary Danby (ed.) - The 6th Fontana Book Of Great Horror Stories, 1971). Dennis Hamley - Hospital Trust: (A. Finnis (ed.) - Point Horror: 13 Again, (1995) Ellen Guon - Disney on Ice: (Josepha Sherman & Keith R. A. DeCandido (eds.) - Urban Nightmares, 1997) Nigel Taylor - A Gothic Tale: ( Worlds of Strangeness #1, Oct. 2016) Kurt Kuersteiner - The Bottom Line: ( 113 Tales of Terror: Illustrated Urban Legends & Short Shock Stories, 2017) ------------------------- Bassett Morgan's The Wolf Woman ( Weird Tales, Sept. 1927) sees a centuries-old vampire exhumed from a glacier and returned to unlife. 'Leo Brett's The Frozen Tomb ( Supernatural Stories #67, Nov. 1962), is "a strange tale of an arctic survey expedition which discovers a peculiar tomb carved from the eternal ice. Can they wake the Sleeper and what will be the consequences?" Is The Saint episode, The Man Who Gambled With Life based on a Leslie Charteris story, or did Harry W. Junkin devise it from scratch? Does Robert Bloch's Frozen Fear qualify, or is that more a black magic thing? Are there novelisations of The Frozen Dead and/ or The Spy Who Shagged Me?

H. P. Lovecraft - Cool Air: ( Tales of Magic and Mystery, March 1928: Weird Tales, Sept 1939; Cry Horror!, 1958). (February, March, and April, 1936: Astounding Stories) Lovecraft evidently liked the theme. I saw somewhere that he read The Frozen Pirate, an 1887 book by Clark Russell, at an impressionable age. In a similar vein: John W. Campbell - Who Goes There? (August, 1938: Astounding Science Fiction) And who can forget the frozen caveman episode from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! |

While suspended animation became something of a staple in sf-movies - Alien or Event Horizon come to mind - I can't remember much. There is Heinlein's Door into Summer, which also had a cat like Alien 20 years later. And Philip K.Dick's Ubik of course. Nearly forgot E. C. Tubbs Dumarest series. Either you traveled High - something with a drug which altered the experience of time, a concept I never understood - or Low, frozen in the cargo with a big mortality rate. A nice gruesome scene of a painful awakening I read in Abnett's Eisenhorn:Xenos a while ago. Well done as always. Crime tv loved the topic, though. I remember an episode of Castle and an episode of Elementary. Strangely Bones with its love of decomposing bodies seemed to skip it. Or I missed it. Didn't watch the last seasons when it was running on fumes. |

And who can forget the frozen caveman episode from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! At times I sample an episode of contemporary Scooby-Doo. Maybe it is because I am a miserable old sod, but they never have the charme of those old episodes. HB did a lot of cringe-inducing stuff, but this was magic. |

HB did a lot of cringe-inducing stuff, but this was magic. No argument here for the most part, though I do think the Mystery Incorporated incarnation of the series is surprisingly solid. It even makes Fred interesting, which I would've otherwise thought was impossible. |
