i was going to mention pfaster and modell, too. pfaster is the scariest monster of the week, imo.
either way, you just got geek’d.

Contemporary fans were bowled over by, “Excuse me. Could you help me find my dog? He’s a Norwegian elkhound. His name is Heinrich. I use him to hunt moose,” since it wasn’t a show with a lot of overt laughs.

I think the only ep that creeped me more than this one was the inbred family one. Doubledogdamn creepy!

I remember being in that mall, and looking around, thinking it looked familiar, then seeing the escalator and realizing it was the location for this episode—creepy and cool at the same time. I miss Vancouver.

Also, WOW!!! Your drawing of Cancerman is seriously right spot-on at capturing him. impressive.
