6 WAVELENGTH ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Causing your nose to bleed?" "Well it was like this..." "What did you do to him?" "Well, the whole thing in a nutshell amounts to this..." started Mr. Twerp. "Oh, go to your office, you spineless crayfish, before the cat will think you're a mouse and start chasing you. -----:------:----- After dinner that evening Mr. Twerp donned soft felt slippers and curled up in his easy chair. He was spent by his efforts of the day but he took comfort from the fact that the World Science Fiction Convention Annual, a science fiction fan magazine, was in his hand. He read that Henry Huttner's "Man Into Monster" was awarded the hon-or of "The Most Creepy Story of 1940." Mr. Twerp hadn't read far, however, when his wife loomed up before him like an ill-omen and said, "Put on your shoes, Justin. We're goingto a picture." "I don't like pictures," said Mr. Twerp. "Besides, I want to rest up so I can leave early tomorrow morning for the opening session of the D-envention." "Don't you want to see 'Man Into Monster'" she demanded. "No." "It's your duty to see it," declared his wife. "I's rather stay home and read," returned Mr. Twerp complaintively. "Nevertheless," said Mrs. Twerp grimly, "I want to see it. And you're going to take me to the premiere whether you like it or not." "I'll go but I won't like it," said Mr. Twerp, unhappily, as he lac-ed up his shoes. The Twerps reached the theatre where the World Premiere of the Super-Chiller, "Man Into Monster", story adapted from the famous novel that Kenry Huttner penner, was to take place. They eyed for a moment the gigantic electric-lighted poster outside It showed a gibbering, misshapen horror that had a face filled with gh-oulish blood-lust. And, quivering in terror, in the lower half of the poster was a beautiful brunette. The display was announced as: WORLD PREMIERE HERE TODAY!!!!! of "MAN INTO MONSTER" (Adapted From The Story By Henry Huttner) Starring BORIS KARLOFF GRETA GORGEOS Two Hours Of Horrendous Experience By La Screen's Most Terrifying Human-Horror And on other, smaller posters the Twerps read: "Monsterous, Murderous, Merciless"- Star Diplomat. "Best Karloff Picture Ever!" - Jimmy Fiddler. (Continue On P. 13)
