PRE-HALLOWEEN SPECIAL EDUCATION II: THE GRAVEYARD RATS
FROM THE CANON OF HORROR STORIES... "This 1936 WEIRD TALES story has to be one of the best horror tales of the last century, an evil hybrid of Poe's 'Premature Burial' and Lovecraft's 'Pickman's Model', claustrophobic to the Nth degree and not to be read by anyone late at night who fears enclosed spaces or asphyxiation and who wishes to sleep." --Tim Pendry... Yes, read by Dr. H. Owll at the start of the Show, 'tis another exercise in the literature of Grand Guignol-type supernatural horror. Horror Historians take note: a pre-George Romero revenant makes an appearance, never explained, but it adds to the gruesome atmosphere. When Puzzling Evidence and KrOB pay a visit later, though, things take a lighter turn. The last pre-Halloween presentation in this space may be the most ghastly yet, Etherettes and Rocket Rookies... you've been warned... heh, heh, heh...
