APOLOGIES — the wrong Dreadful was cued up for this episode when it was first posted. It has now been fixed! You may need to re-download to get the new one.

PART I: “THE PENNY DREADFULS”: 0:00 — 32:00:

• 01:46: VARNEY THE VAMPYRE; or, THE FEAST OF BLOOD, Chapter 34: Varney wakes Flora up. “The vampire!” she shrieks. “Yes,” he replies, “the vampire.” He then tells Flora that he can only be un-vampired if a lovely maiden such as Flora will consent to love him. She, of course, cannot. He makes a bit show of demanding more blood; and once he’s got her really terrified, he tells her she has but one chance: Flight. Leave Bannerworth Hall…. And, as we know but Flora does not, its hidden treasure!
• 19:00: STREET BROADSIDE: A moralizing cautionary “catchpenny” about what (allegedly) happened to a farmer when he casually uttered some blasphemies.
• 28:25: TERRIFIC REGISTER ARTICLE: Two short ones — one about a nobleman taming a lion, and another about a brave French officer forced to wrestle for his life with an angry wolf.

PART II: "THE SIXPENNY SPOOKIES," 32:30 — 1:10:00:

• 32:55: EARLY VICTORIAN GHOSTLY SHORT STORY, TO-WIT: COUNT MAGNUS, by M.R. James; Part 2 of 2 parts: Mr. Wraxall gets to see inside the tomb, and finds the metallic sound he heard when he called a greeting to Count Magnus was the sound of one of three padlocks dropping off his sarcophagus. On a later visit the second one falls away. Mr. Wraxall finds himself behaving strangely, chanting greetings to Count Magnus; what is happening to him? And what will happen when the third padlock falls away, leaving the sarcophagus free to be opened and entered … or, dare we say, emerged from?
• 53:10: A SHORT GHOST STORY from the scrapbook of Charles Lindley, Viscount Halifax: A gentleman is surprised to see his cousin’s governess on the streets of a faraway city. But when he turns to greet her, he finds she’s vanished!
• 1:08:15: A FEW SQUEAKY-CLEAN DAD JOKES from the early-1800s' most popular joke book: "Joe Miller's Jests; or, The Wit's Vade-mecum."

*The Barony of Dunwitch is located in a deep forest glade west of Arkham, Massachusetts Colony. Actually it is a good 3,000 miles west of Arkham. It is not to be confused with Dunwich, the English seacoast town that fell house by house into the sea centuries ago, or Dunsany, the home until 1957 of legendary fantasy author Edward J.M.D. Plunkett, 18th Baron Dunsany.
