I've been watching Halloween-type movies a lot this October. I've especially been watching a lot of the classic Universal monster movies. My favorite is The Wolfman . I really enjoyed Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein . I watched Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein . I'm planning on watching Dracula , The Mummy , and The Creature from the Black Lagoon next.

I watched both the 1958 and 1986 versions of The Fly last weekend. I watched Twilight Zone the Movie Thursday. Last night I watched the original The Wolfman with Lon Chaney, Jr. Tonight I plan on watching The Wolfman remake.

I'm hoping to wrap up the date story in issue 16 or 17 of The Drawing Board , and starting on some Halloween-themed issues. Everybody have a happy Halloween!
