Monday, October 31, 2011 Halloween Treats: A Tale of Dracula, the Wolfman, & Frankenstein


Some more spooky listening for your horrible holiday!  A Tale of Dracula, the Wolfman, and Frankenstein was not technically part of Power Records' Monster Series.   The Monster Series were adaptations of Marvel Comics such as Tomb of Dracula and Werewolf by Night and released in 45 RPM.  A Tale was an orignal Neal Adams story and issued as an LP.  A Tale was reissued as House of Terror on Parade Records, and the comic was later expanded for a French publisher and subsequentially reprinted in various outlets, such as House of Hammer.   Neal Adams has since lost his marbles and the bag he kept them in, but he's at the top of his game here as an illustrator and the audio play is up to Power Records' usual standards - dig the crazy Lugosi impression for Dracula!
