This is about where I really began to lose interest in the book. One panel of a set of eyes watching Julia and Barnabas would have been disquieting and effective. This just comes off as overkill. Plus, the artist reveals way too much of the creatures and does it far too soon, ruining any element of surprise whatsoever. I don't care much for the character design either. I guess that the artist was trying to make them look intimidating and spooky. But they come off looking like Smurfs on a lost weekend.
It seems like they were trying to evoke the atmosphere of Roger Corman's The Haunted Palace but it falls far short of that.
Julia's never been there at night?
