Build this sadistic soap-opera sports car! Oozing
with enough parts to make any vampire sit up and take notice! Blown werewolf
engine, screaming hollow slicks, gravedigger shovel handle shifter, crushing
wide ovals, eerie casket top rails, frightening lantern head lights, haunting
lantern tail lights, death-like Barnabas figure, bloody globe side lamps,
plated casket hand rails, mausoleum-styled hearse body, inviting opening
rear doors, ghost-like grill work running boards and rear step, ugly trailer
hitch, tomb-like trailer, sinister plated wheels.

this show used to scare the daylights out of me and my siblings back in
the late 60s. And to think it was on when it was still light out in the
late afternoon after school! Barnabas the vampire, Quentin the werewolf--what
memories. I was going to buy some of the old series tapes and show them
to my kids, but I'm afraid they'll laugh at me compared to the monster
intensity they see on TV and movies today.
