Ah, the good ol’ days.
Greetings, kiddies. I was just sitting here in my old rickety rocking chair, basking in the light of the full moon coming through my bedroom window, when I heard a knock on my front door.
Opening the door I found my neighbor, Harry Talbot, standing there, panting frantically.
“Granny,” he said, “Do you have a razor I can borrow? I need to shave my face before I go out tonight.”
“Why’d gillette it grow out so much? I asked.
He said he’d been busy, but tonight he was off to have a howling good time on the town. I snickered to myself. Most of the ladies I knew thought him to be just another old wolf, so I doubted he’d have much success with any of them.
“Just a minute,” I said.
I rummaged through some of Uncle Edgar’s old things and came up with an old straight razor. I gave it to Harry. He thanked me and bounded away to enjoy whatever adventures he could find.
I returned to the comfort of my old rocker and thought about this week’s radio spots. Hmmm. Well, last time I did spots about vampires and the undead, so this time I should feature spots about werewolves. Great idea!
I dug through my stash and came up with a few notable radio spots. The first is American International Pictures’ I Was a Teenage Werewolf, starring a young Michael Landon, who went on to additional fame with Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie, and Highway to Heaven. Next I found Hammer’s The Curse of the Werewolf, along with combo spots with The Shadow of the Cat.
These are some spots you can really sink your teeth into, uh, in a manner of speaking. That’s all for now. I hope you enjoy them. Now, back to enjoying the moonlight….
I Was a Teenage Werewolf
Curse of the Werewolf (10, 30, 60 seconds)
Curse of the Werewolf and Shadow of the Cat (15, 30, 60 seconds)
