I kind of want to alter the dialog and slip copies into airplane seat backs.<br /><br /><i>"Gaaaaa--I'm burning alive! Yaaaaaaa--"</i><br /><br /><i>"Oxygen masks have dropped from the overhead compartments! I must first help the children--Gasp--the bags may not fully inflate!"</i><br /><br />(This is marvelous news about the Complete Voodoo reprint series, by the way. I can't wait to get my hands on that stuff. Are the collected volumes going to include all the ads and other extra stuff like the Harvey reprint series did? Those extras are part of the pure gold, after all....)Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-35319520088209188572015-08-20T18:25:52.478-05:002015-08-20T18:25:52.478-05:00This is just a great piece of work.

The tale itself is rather pedestrian, but it seems to go out of it's way to present an ending where nearly everybody pays in one way or another, including innocent bystanders, and isn't that always the way with the world?<br /><br />The tales where some wacky couple destroy some vampire that has lived on for hundreds of years are really the naive stories. This -- that's just life.<br /><br />And it's more horrible for it!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-51595567076609887862015-08-20T13:00:54.230-05:002015-08-20T13:00:54.230-05:00All joking aside, I almost expected the puppet to ...All joking aside, I almost expected the puppet to have a letch for the daughter, and plan to somehow make THAT part of his revenge. That's such a tradition with ventriloquists' dummies - making them act that way toward women in the audience and so on. So somehow it didn't seem far-fetched.

I thought at least the daughter would escape, and maybe even poor Antonio. <br />This is one of those horror stories about gypsies that can't really be accused of slandering them. Not only does Antonio let loose the curse ACCIDENTALLY, but he tries to warn everyone about it afterwards. And look what happens to him for doing that.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.com
