Hey there! Who doesn't love the classic monsters from Universal Pictures' golden age? The Frankenstein Monster, the Wolfman, Count Dracula, the Phantom of the Opera, Kharis and Im-Ho-Tep, the Creature From the Black Lagoon, the Mad Ghoul, Paula the Ape Woman, the Creeper.... what a bunch!
Remember the performers who brought them to life...! Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Basil Rathbone, George Zucco, Lionel Atwill, John Carradine, Glenn Strange, and the make-up genius who gave them their haunting, tragic faces, Jack Pierce....
Let's go back for a little while to a time when every night was Halloween, when the children of the night howled around the Hill of the Seven Jackals, when even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the moon is full and bright....

For a real kick, dissolve some wolfbane with the tana leaves and add a twist of lime. It'll knock you on your ass.
