A NOTE FROM DARREN: This is the full novelization of the 1978 horror film classic, John Carpenter's Halloween. The novel I'm sharing here has been out of print since the n1980s, and I had to pay a pretty penny just to get a used paperback version just so I could bring this to you. Well worth every penny! It's very true to the film, but has a lot of added elements that make it even more disturbing and exciting. This novelization, written by Curtis Richards, is so good, in fact, that John Carpenter took elements of this novel and used them in the script for the film's sequel, Halloween 2. Richards tweaks the film's story with a few minor but crucial changes to the original screenplay, which was written by John Carpenter and Deborah Hill. In this novelization, Michael Myers is given a supernatural reason for his actions as a child and as an adult, and it ties in directly to the dark paranormal origins of Samhain, the Druid Festival of the Dead, which eventually evolved into what we now celebrate as Halloween. This isn't really a spoiler, as it's all laid out in the prologue before getting into the main story, but it is an excellent addition by Richards. As we all know, the film Halloween begins with eight-year-old Michael Myers stabbing his older sister to death, which leads to his being admitted to a mental hospital for the next 15 years. He breaks out to terrorize a bunch of teen babysitters before he's finally brought down, or, so it seems, by the determined Dr. Loomis. The movie was very risque with explicit scenes of sex and nudity. If you've read the novelization, you know that Richards takes it to an even more erotic, edgy, and borderline pornographic direction in these scenes. But I prefer to keep things as PG-13 as possible here, so I've edited those sections to make them less edgy or indecent, or just removed them entirely if they didn't impact the story.

I often get comments on YouTube, on Facebook, or receive an email saying that someone liked a certain episode for this reason or that. Usually it’s a comment about how creepy or scary a specific story was, or it’s someone sharing an incident that happened to them that was similar. Or more often than not, just a note of encouragement to thank me for the podcast (which I do love getting, by the way). But very few episodes have garnered the amount of positive feedback that “I Drive For Cerber” has, which I have posted several times simply because people keep asking for it. So for those of you who have never heard it before, or for those of you who loved it the first time and wouldn’t mind another go-around, I proudly present, “I Drive For Cerber” by Mofucious.

ABOUT THE STORY: It’s a classic tale from H.P. Lovecraft entitled “Herbert West: Reanimator”. Herbert West is perhaps the best-known of Lovecraft’s human characters. Most people upon hearing the word “Reanimator” will automatically think of the film from 1985 of the same name – based upon the story you’re about to hear. But loosely based. Very… loosely… based. They went more in a comedy direction with the film. Some believe Lovecraft did intend his originally story to be a parody of Frankenstein. But it doesn’t really feel like a parody. At least, to the extent that parodies are supposed to be funny. Also, Herbert West is the antithesis of Victor Frankenstein. Whereas Mary Shelley’s scientist is mad only to the extent he is prone to wild flights of passionate emotion and expressing himself in florid romantic speeches, Herbert West is hyper-rational, dispassionate, amoral, and unsentimental. Where Frankenstein is wracked with debilitating guilt, West is a sociopath, driven by a desire to prove his theories correct no matter what the cost. Maybe Lovecraft’s point was that if anyone was going to bring dead bodies back to a kind of “life,” it would be a ruthless and unemotional scientist, not someone who sounds suspiciously like a lovesick poet. And, I guess he’s probably right. Still, if you’re after the big laughs like what was in the movie, “Herbert West: Reanimator” is not the place to find them. It’s a story in six parts, but each part is essentially the same as the others: West reanimates a corpse. Reanimated corpse starts wrecking everything. West and the narrator conceal their involvement. Rinse and repeat. The story was written as a serial, published one chapter at a time from October 1921 to June 1922 in the amateur publication “Home Brew”. And because it was written during that time, you will hear language not considered politically correct today – particularly that of words used to describe people of color. But as I have done in the past, I am leaving it all intact to preserve the author’s words in their original form, and so we never forget our sometimes horrible history.

Written in 1942, “Mimic” eventually inspired the 1997 horror film of the same name. The short story was written by Martin Pearson, though you may also know him as Donald A. Wollheim or Darrel G. Raynor, as he used many pseudonyms when writing. The story is a simple premise, talking of how some insects disguise themselves as other insects, or some animals disguise themselves as other animals, in order to not be eaten by the creatures above them in the food chain. At the top of the food chain is man – do we have mimics disguised as us – in plain sight?

THE STORY: On December 3rd the wind turns east and winter lands overnight on a Cornish peninsula, where Nat Hocken, a part-time farm worker living on a wartime disability pension, wakes to something tapping at the bedroom window. By dawn there are fifty dead birds on the floor of his children's room, and out in the bay the gulls are massing by the tens of thousands, riding the swells and waiting on the tide. Nat boards his windows and stuffs his chimneys while the wireless carries a Home Office statement, then a national emergency, then nothing at all; he works out that the attacks rise and fall with the flood tide, and measures his family's odds in bread, candles, and kerosene. Evan Hunter's screenplay moved the story to Bodega Bay and built new characters around du Maurier's title, keeping her unexplained attacks and little else. The original ends with Nat lighting the last cigarette in the packet and throwing the empty one on the fire.

A NOTE FROM YOUR NARRATOR: I’ve been on an old-time radio kick recently, listening to shows like “The Whistler”, “Dimension X”, and “Strange Tales”. One of my favorite shows is called “X-Minus One”.  It was a half-hour science fiction radio drama series that was broadcast from April 24, 1955 to January 9, 1958 in various timeslots on NBC radio. At the end of each episode they tell you where the stories they used came from before they adapted them for radio – and one of those sources was the publication “Astounding Science Fiction Magazine”. I jumped online to see if there were old copies I could look at, and I found a book – an anthology of many of the stories from that magazine. The book was published in 1954. The story was entitled “First Contact”, written by Murray Leinster in 1945. The story is credited as one of the first instances of a universal translator in science fiction. So influential is the story that it won a retro Hugo Award for Best Novelette in 1996.
