Relive the CountDown to Halloween 2012 at Secret Sanctum of Captain Video!

Our "brother", Secret Sanctum of Captain Video™, participated in this blogathon...
...with several entries, each from a different movie studio!
First up was Quatermass 2 aka Enemy from Space, from Britain's legendary Hammer Studios!
Next was the never-reprinted 1940s adaptation of Universal Studios' Son of Frankenstein!
Then, a week-long mini-blogathon of the never-reprinted graphic novel based on the movie inspired by 1950s horror comics...Laurel Entertainment/Warner Brothers' CreepShow!
Then...the first, never reprinted, American comic book appearance of Toho Studios' Godzilla!
(Note: it's NOT the Marvel Comics series from the late 1970s!)
Finally, the rarely-seen, one-time team-up of terror-titans Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and Lon Chaney from 50 years ago on Route 66!
It's not too late to join in the fun!

Leslie Nielsen (2/11/26 – 11/28/10)

In Forbidden Planet, he was the prototype of starship captains for generations to come...
In Creepshow, he was a jealous husband with a video obsession who received his comeuppance in true EC Comics fashion...
In the final episode* of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., he was the last man to try (and fail) to kill Napoleon Solo...
And, as the Swamp Fox, he was Disney's attempt at another franchise based on a real-life American hero like Davy Crockett!
(DYK: Nielsen sang the show's theme song!)
You remember him from Airplane! and The Naked Gun series.
But this is how I remember Leslie Nielsen.

*The final 2-part episode of U.N.C.L.E., "The Seven Wonders of the World Affair". was released theatrically as How to Steal the World.
