In the laboratory, cauldrons bubble, gases burp, lightning flashes. Here, Dr. FrankenHarris struggles to eut the heart, fat anid brain fromfIle Monster., "He stili cannot breathe on bis own,» says the assistant, Ermie Eavestrough. <'We stfl must eut more. He's choking ini bis own fàt'» The body on the operating table is large, grotesque, inhuman. Ugly scars trickle across its forehead. Stuinps remain only as reminders of botched operations to add extra, unneeded limbs. Other extra limbs stili survived, healthy, strong - but useless, nay, less than uselese, sapping vitality out of the rest of the hulking body. "We promised,» said Dr. FrankenHarris. "We said we would cut out aIl the extra limbs, heal up aIl the scars, eut out the heart and brain without compromising the health and vigour of The Monster.» "We promised te make bim smaller,» asserted Ernie Eavestrough. "But not so strong or vital as te be a challenge to eitber of us," said Dr. FrankenHarris. "Har, har, bar, bar,» they laugh, ini wiîson. On the slab, The Monster strains against the straps, tries te lift bis head, te speak. 'PI ... ck... et,» the monster says. The voice is weak and raspy. "Remember the Halloweens of the past, when The Monster would escape and stride through the land,» said 'Ernie. He sidivated. Hie loved te salivate. It was his best trick. "He would bide in graveyards and frighten wee children and devour virgins.' "Oh, I remember it well,» said the kind Doctor. 'But the evil men who made this creature are running this laboratory no longer. They made The Monster. Here they added an arm on bis back; here, another arm attached te bis left leg. n Ernie looked up admiringly inte bis boss's eyes. "Can we change bis dietr "0f course. Let's see. His usual diet has been tax- boosted blood, right? Billions of litres of it.» "Thats very expensive. We sbould leave him strong enougb so eventually he would be able te forage for bis own food. Then we don't need to feed him expensive tax blood.' "'But be still must be docile go he will do ail the slave work: sweeping, cleaning windows, serving meals, doing the laundiy, that sort of tbing.» "Looking after us when we're sick, too,» added Ernie. "Teacbing cbildren, lighting lights. Heil still do that. He just won't be so big and ugly, with all those extra, needless limbs. Ugh!» Down the stene steps of the ancient laboratery two umailer figures corne creeping. One is dressed as a female vampire. lie other is dressed as a maie vampire. Both are dressed in black. " Ah! Conrad! Barbara!» says the good Doctor. "My wonderful little neo-children, aIl dressed for H-alloween!' "Yes, Docter Daddy"à says Barbara. "Conrad and I are going out trick or treating.» "Going te suck the blood out of a few journalists, no doubt," says Unclo Ernie. "I may be lucky, and find a few juicy, lazy socialsts, too,» says Conrad. «Oh, 1 love these Black days as the darkness of Wmnter descends upon our vituperation.» "Whatever that meas," says Dr. Frankenllarris.
