As the great philosopher and bon viveur Titus Crow once mused, that which frit the boy will feart the man! And how better to stress and dissect this dictum than observe it in practice?
Yes, as a follow-up to the playful hauntings of Hallowe’en, The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour despatched hand-scrawled invitations across the city to their most trusted of collaborators; a disquiet cabal to be held in the depths of MountPeg Towers, memories to be exhumed, terrors to be re-lived...
Doctor Velvet and Blackout are joined around the table by Simon and Ken from the ExtonMoss Experiment, by Professor Lionel Ziggy Zucho, and of course no gathering would be complete without the magnificent Ozzy Bognops. Together they pick through the ossified remnants of Spitting Image, The Fly, Panorama, The Rocking Horse Winner, La Cabina and Rolf Harris, and the mailbag bulges with more horrors, still.
One thing’s for sure, more spirits will be raised here than laid to rest...
