Day 12 has turned into a day for Poe, what with last year and Uncle Bill reading “The Masque of the Red Death” and then The Pit and the Pendulum before that.

But if you just enjoy the madness and go with it, all is well.
I mean, come on, they refer to Price as “The Screen’s Foremost Delineator of the Draculean.” How can you not love that? Check it out:
