Ask Dr Hal
MURMURS IN THE NIGHT
AFTER THE FIRST HALF HOUR, or The Button Got Me Again. Yes, once again, while entertaining guests in the Studio, we forgot to press the infernal Red Button-- a necessary ritual if you want your show on "RV" to be heard. At 31:50 the real show begins-- up to then you're listening to last week's show. After that-- KrOB and Yours Truly are talking about Joe Laudati's GWANGI tribute film (forthcoming) when suddenly the TRUE SHOW for October 24th 2025 begins. Guests are Underground Cartoonist and fine artist Appel Berry and African Cyberpunk author Nikhil Singh, whose recent works include the novel CLUB DED and its sequel DAKINI ATOLL (both recommended) as well as a Graphic Novel. First the enchanting Appel interviews Dr. H. Owll about some of his more disreputable episodes, including exploring caves, forbidden tombs and underground spider-haunted tunnels, not to mention grave robbing (few people, in most cases, can get me talking about this stuff). We speak of the clandestine Archie Comics erotica online and other comics-related topics. The second part is a conversation with Nikhil (at 1:23), who reveals various strongly held opinions. An information-heavy show in a conversational mode-- what we aim for in this show. SORRY about the missing first half hour-- no one regrets it more than us. WHY do they HAVE that Furshlugginer button, anyway? If you forget to push it, your show doesn't happen-- it's like the lever in the mad scientist's laboratory which, when pulled, causes the whole thing to blow up. Why install such a device in the first place? An informed public wants to know. We close with a reading from CASTLE OF FRANKENSTEIN magazine, issue #42, based on an article by David Yuers with Editor Don Smeraldi, "The Many Shapes of Horror.."
