Japanese horror shot in moody black and white. A twist on the vampire legends of the west. This vampire stalks under moonlight, like a werewolf. There's a weirdo hunchbacked dwarf and a cast of strange characters. It takes place in contemporary time and mixes in a mystery of a woman missing for twenty years. She's found annd seems to have not aged a day in those twenty years. One of the earliest Japanese vampire movies, possibly drawing on Hammer Studios success of HORROR OF DRACULA the year before this film. In Japanese with English subtitles.

Some nice comments that came in on our Creepy Phone Line's voicemail:

 

"Dude, this book is spectacular! I love it sooo much." - Danny Roebuck (Dr. Shocker)

 

"Rondo, wow, this book is great. I see so much cool stuff I remember. Frisbees, Silly Putty, FAMOUS MONSTERS magazine I got as a kid, the firecrackers, and the monsta movies, Yeah." - David "The Rock" Nelson

 

...and coming in on email:

 

Dear Ron,
I just had to let you know what wonderful and fun reading experience your new book "Flashback" was for me! I just could not put your incredible book down and as I read each passing page of your childhood stories they kept unlocking my own kid memories of a toy-monster loving boy that I still am to this day!

 

I also have a love for Monster magazines and comic books like Plastic Man and Archie`s Mad House which had a lot of monsters on the covers and in the stories also. I always had a of love of music and was really into the Beatles, Kinks, and Moodly Blues and growing up in Philly they had a radio station- WMMR which played all kinds of different bands like Camel, Gentle Giant, Kraan and Soft Machine which I still listen to this day!

 

It is so very gratifying to know I not alone in my love of comic books, monsters, toys & music even being well over 60 years old, I will always be a "Wolf-Boy!"

 

Thank you so much for a book that I will read over and over again! - Johnny "Wolf-Boy" Castiglia
