Captain's Library: THE MONSTER CLUB Conclusion

While standing outside a bookstore displaying his works, noted horror author R Chetwynd-Hayes is accosted by a vampire.
The sanginarian, Eramus by name, is enthralled with the fact that his latest snack is a revered writer of the macabre.
To apologize, Eramus brings Chetwynd-Hayes to an establishment with a most exclusive clientele...monsters only, in order to provide the writer with inspiration for future stories!
The vampire regales his guest with a tale and is about to begin another, when a stripper...with a difference...takes the stage...
As a special bonus, the text feature by adaptation writer Dez Skinn that accompanied the story...

The movie is adapted from the novel The Monster Club and the short story "My Mother Married a Vampire", both by R Chetwynd-Hayes, a real British horror writer!
(The original novel didn't have Chetwynd-Hayes as a character.
A young man named Donald McCloud is bitten by Eramus)

  1. Great site. Out of interest , I own eight original John Bolton Monster Club art on board, some featured on your site. The art first appeared in the rare Monster Club promo mag to advertise to investors at the Cannes film festival then later in the Hammer Halls if Horror magazine. I also have fourteen preliminary art used by Bolton to create his Monster genealogy chart that feature in the cult film. All have signed. I own Bolton's personally owned rare Monster Club script given by the makers of the film.
