When it comes to the ending, I keep imagining the female vampire revealing herself to the doctor, and the movie switching almost immediately back to John Carradine introducing the next story.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-56085321139059094062015-08-27T15:05:19.764-07:002015-08-27T15:05:19.764-07:00According to the Grand Comics Database, "Dead...According to the Grand Comics Database, "Deadman" was a reworked version of Basil Wolverton's "The Man from the Moon" first featured in WEIRD TALES FROM THE FUTURE #5 from Stanley Morse.

I don't know if it's among the stories you'll be reviewing, but it's very unusual. Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.com
