As Julia was stiring her secret formula to cure Barnabas, it looked as if she were tossing marshmallows into that exotic crockpot in the Old House basement. Perhaps, friend Willy Loomis might have used Cracker Jacks instead.

Dry ice baby, it was dry ice but it looked like one of those tidy bowl toilet pucks.

Dear Julia99,

But who was the "tidy bowl man" in Dr. H.'s pot, Ezra Braithewaite, Wally Strak, or perhaps it was Orville "Buzz" Hackett

Astute observation, Bob the B! In today's era of all-too-realistic (and surrealistic) special effects, it's comforting to be able to count on Julia's lab (and its electrical dials, gauges, mist, and steamy concoctions) to revive in me that quaint, seventh grade science class feeling.

Wow! This is like Deja Voodoo! Here's Julia99 sounding just like Eva Gardner in "Night of the Iguana". Come to think of it, Grayson Hall was in that one, too. We had a cauldron like that on our driveway Halloween of '66, filled with dry ice and apple cider! Great fun.
Dig that crazy chair Barny stiffly sits in. Looks like "Old Sparky" to me. I always wondered if Julia could get enough voltage out of that upcoming generator to give him a jolt. Wouldn't that be frazzling, if in the Adam storyline, Barny just kind of forgot and sat down in it?
