Astounding Horrors: [4]:

The HORROR THEMES are comin' thick-and-fast at the moment, as we make a momentarily return to Frankenstein's gothic loboratory, replete with archaic electronic gadgetry and sci-fi paraphanalia.


For some reason, slick cool-cat JET BLANC finds himself in the cameo role of the Baron's creation in this one, spelling out the error of his creator's [VIBES, as the demented scientist in this scene]  ways, with retribution to follow, by the looks of things.


I wanted to put in BABY BOOMER [deliverer of the all-important replacement brain, in his Ygor-like appearence here] as a more cliched Hunchback character, but the advent of good ole Political Correctness has nailed that funnier concept on the head in this case at least.






Where ideas come from: a somewhat unusual use of songtune-lyrics in this example, with Lou Reed's melancholic 'Perfect Day' providing the basis for the dialog.....I often have the radio on well into the night, and the tunes I hear whilst half-asleep often work their way into my subconcious , to conjure up cartoon imagery ripe for plucking: that's where this one came from.
