Title: OT A Vampire turns 100...
Post by: CyrusL on February 03, 2006, 10:51:14 PM

A tip of the bat [blackbat] and cape to John Carradine, who according to some sources would be having cake at his 100th birthday this Sunday 2/6/06.  John, born Richmond Reed Carradine and the father of David, Keith and Robert et al,  played Dracula many times, including a vampiric appearence on "McCloud"  [batang] of all places. It's notable he played the Count in "House of Dracula" from which the concept of treating vampirism as a blood disease was cribbed. Always elegant in a top hat and possessed of a fine voice, here's a drink to his memory.  [8285]

     I'll never forget the terror he inspired in his appearance on Night Gallery.  The word "surprise" had a terrifying new meaning. :o   He was scary whether he played a vampire or an undertaker.

You'er right Connie.  When he was on 'Night Gallery' and said "Surprise" at the very end...I still get goosebumps.
