WHEN LAWRENCE "LARRY" TALBOT, a.k.a. The Wolfman, made the transatlantic journey to the United States just after the Second World War, on his own, to stop the Conspiracy of the Monsters-- see ABBOT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948), he ended up making yet another suicide attempt, dragging Dracula in bat-form down into the ocean with him. Yet once again, he found that death is no option for the Lycanthrope. Larry had relapsed after apparently being cured by Dr. Franz Edlemann (see HOUSE OF DRACULA (1945), and never got it through his head that HE was one of the monsters (not the Humans), always thinking of himself as a victim. This changed when he met Irving Klaw and his best "Peekaboo" model, the famous Bettie Page. Klaw, the notorious "pornographer," ran afoul of the Kefauver Hearings of the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency in 1957-- the same politicians who were attacking comic books. The Senate Hearings marked the beginning of the end of Klaw's mail-order fetish art business in New York. That investigation tried to link pornography to the bugaboo of the moment-- juvenile delinquency. The McCarthy-style hearings branded Klaw as a "degenerate" and ushered in a new wave of media censorship. Bettie Page was also summoned to the hearings but, as it happens, never did get asked to testify. While waiting to be called at her hotel in the District of Columbia, lovely Bettie met Larry, whose rooms were across the hall from hers. Bettie was friendly, Bettie was warm and open, a good sport and one who liked to try new things... Suffice it to say that the vivacious Bettie convinced Talbot then and there to accept his quasi-lupine, animal nature. And... and there aren't any Wolfman movies featuring Larry Talbot after that, are there? Plenty of Lon Chaney, Jr. ones, though. We ask that you draw your own conclusions. A six-hour show this was, ultimately featuring Puzzling Evidence and KrOB. But of course this here is just another re-run-- they trim these things down to 3 hours and chop 'em there. Hell, they're trimming the LIVE ones down to 3 hours. What to do? If the late-night antics are congruent and congenial, listen live, Clive. We'll try to get the "staysh" to record more of these things. With this one, what we're saying is that the "good" parts might be... surgically nipped off after the third hour.
