Scripts from the Crypt: The Wizard, (Paperback)

<p>According to William K. Everson, it's 1927's <strong><em>The Wizard</em></strong>, a wild-and-woolly "Old Dark House" horror whodunit.</p><p> In the Webster family's storm-lashed home, partygoers are watching <strong>Anne Webster</strong> blow over the 20 candles on her birthday cake ... and then a grotesque figure, with ghastly face and taloned hands, enters through the chimney flue. After wiseguy reporter <strong>Stanley Gordon</strong> arrives on the chaotic scene, the action moves to a neighboring manor, a house of horrors ruled by hate-maddened scientist <strong>Dr. Coriolis</strong>. The instrument of his revenge: <strong>Tongo</strong>, a gorilla with a human head!</p><p> "Experience" this gonzo scare-comedy the only way you now can, second-hand, via <strong><em>Scripts from the Crypt</em></strong>'s centenary celebration of <strong><em>The Wizard</em></strong>. It serves up a <strong><em>Wizard</em></strong> production history, the 82-page script, career articles on its stars and more.</p><p></p>
