MISTER MYSTERY RESPONDS

At the end of 1936, Bela Lugosi was in New York promoting a film in which he played the role of Count Dracula yet again. Universal Pictures had rented for him the same suite in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel that Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, the famous animated cartoon character, occupied every time he came to the city to promote one of his cartoons. Mr. Lugosi had played the Transylvanian Count so many times that he had ended up identifying with the character to the point of affirming in his interviews: "I am Dracula". Lugosi had become the character and Dracula the actor who played Lugosi from time to time. At night he used to be seen strolling along Park Avenue characterized as Dracula, with his long cape, his hair slicked with gel and his penetrating eyes, causing more of a faint of terror when passing. There was even a man who tried to pierce his heart with a stake, but Mr. Lugosi was faster and bit him wildly in the neck sucking almost a liter of blood from his aggressor. Michae...

At the turn of the century, New York was the destination of a large number of European immigrants. On February 12, 1897, a steamship of the company White-Star landed among its passengers a native of Transylvania. William Barret, who was among the crowd of onlookers who crowded on the dock, immediately identified this exotic origin because the man wore the typical costume of the region and Barret collected paper figures to cut out with regional costumes from around the world. In fact, since he was a child, he had been interested in that region of Eastern Europe in which so many horror stories were set. His father was very fond of this literary genre and used to read passages to his son before going to bed. No wonder then that little Barret fell asleep in Maths class. Unlike his own bedroom, where he couldn’t sleep a wink, Maths were safe, Maths weren’t scary. From that time, he suffered from a nervous tic consisting in looking continuously at all sides in view of a possible danger. Para...

In the living room of the “Society for Psychical Research”, Mr. Henry Sidgwick was reading “The Times” by the fireplace. Sitting in front of him, Sir Martin Osborne had started nodding during the reading of a chemistry book. “Good heavens!” suddenly Sidgwick exclaimed, causing his friend to wake up and the book to fall to the ground. “What happen?”, inquired the eminent chemist. His companion read aloud an article about a macabre event occurred last night in Highgate Cemetery. A pair of body snatchers had unearthed a coffin from which a vampire had emerged. Osborne let out a loud laugh. He did not believe in vampires nor body snatchers nor coffins nor cemeteries. He only believed in organic chemistry. He got up, picked up his book, his cane, and said goodbye. Arriving at his house in North London, he was still thinking about that bizarre story his friend had told him. "It seems incredible that there are such credible people," he said to himself and giggled. At that moment he...

I am not a particularly handsome man, and yet for a while I was harassed by a beautiful woman I had met at a funeral. She was so intrusive in my life (one day I met her in bed), that my wife came to believe that I was involved with her. So I braced myself, and when I tripped over her again in an elevator, I let her know that I was happily married and did not want to have any extramarital affairs. The woman then smiled broadly, revealing long incisors. Then she pressed the stop button and pounced on my neck with her mouth wide open and eyes unhinged. The next thing I remember is lying in a hospital bed and a nice nurse asking me how the hell I had lost so much blood. A small donation for needy children in exchange for this story?

They can exist but with a lot of effort, since they must pass from inexistence to existence, which is not easy. The same happens with vampires, declared enemies of zombies; and with aliens, declared enemies of vampires and zombies. https://blog.feedspot.com/humor_blogs/
