Dracula arrives at Dr. Edelman's office asking for a cure to his vampirism. However, this is a ruse by Dracula to get near Dr. Edelman's beautiful female assistant and turn her into a vampire. Meanwhile, a sincere Lawrence Talbot, AKA the Wolfman, arrives seeking a cure for his lycanthropy. When Dr. Edelman's first attempt fails, Talbot tries to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff but instead finds a network of underground caves where Frankensteins Monster is in stasis. Chaos ensues as the three monsters fight for dominance of each other.

Also in Horror Host News, the world lost another great to a Heart Attack Cleveland Ohio's "The Ghoul" played by Ron Sweed. Sweed passed away on Monday, after a five-month-long battle with heart problems. He was 70.

To his many friends, there were few with more heart than Sweed – a Euclid native whose rampage through Cleveland’s late-night airwaves started in the 1970s.

Yup, that was The Ghoul: That madcap maniac who loved to “mangle medulas” and, of course, make a mess with flying Cheez Whiz, pierogis and slime – and, yes, firecrackers.

Thank You, Ron, for keeping the Horror Host alive!
