It's kind of funny how I became a Hallowe'en/Monster kid. Part of the story is that I spent Saturday afternoons with Tom Hatten and the Family Film Festival, which allowed me to see classic monster films and absorb their history.
Another part were the endless hours spent sitting next to my little record player, listening to spooky stories. Among them was a collection of ghost stories and urban legends under the Alfred Hitchcock name, interspersed with vignettes of Hitchcock setting up the next track and giving the listener an ongoing account of a simple faucet drip growing and growing until he drowns at the end.
