The Great Frankenstein/Wolf Man Presidential Debate


With federal elections coming up this month in Canada and the US presidential contest a year away, North Americans are being bombarded with attack ads and portentous messages, political posturing and the inevitable debates. As citizens, we will be called to decide who will lead us but — let us admit — there is no challenge as monumentally important as the horror-battle between the two most terrifying creatures of all times, the Titans of Terror: Frankenstein and the Wolf Man!!! (Hyperbole shamelessly lifted from a 1942 ad for FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN).


Here’s Dan Roebuck as Lon Chaney as Larry Talbot as The Wolf Man going up against Perry Shields as Bela Lugosi as Ygor’s brain in Frankenstein’s Monster, which altogether makes more sense than anything in the current, real-life political discourse.

Roebuck and Shields are professional actors and unreserved Monster Kids, and they give their all in what proves both a Valentine to the Universal Monsters, and a genuine Halloween treat.

Enjoy!

OMG that was a much needed comic release! I think I might understand how they got Ron Chaney involved--but Bela Jr.--wow, just wow. I am very familiar with Dan Roebuck, he has done a lot of television acting!! (amongst other notable high profile movie parts--well there's that bit in Harrison Ford's "The Fugitive:). But Perry Shields is new to me. Over-share here...I've always had a bit of a crush of Bela Jr.. Lunar power...the solution to all energy needs indeed! Love it! Needed it!

I don't think I've laughed that hard in weeks!
