And now, our Showcase presents The Crasher another chilling tale of suspense from a world just beyond the borders of our own. A young writer looking for a fresh start and a clean slate finds himself in the quiet town of Halfway. The perfect place to finish his novel and get his career back on track. But sometimes life has other plans for us. Another masterful script by Magic of the Movies author Tim Prasil

This week, the Summer Showcase is proud to present The Magic of the Movies by Tim Prasil. A tale of suspense told late at night around a Hollywood bar... A tale of fame and fortune lost, and a terrible secret found. The sad ramblings of a forgotten man? You be the judge...

A symposium in the city has the world's greatest scientific minds together under one roof. A fine opportunity to advance mankind's knowledge - and perhaps a target too tempting to resist! But with that masked mystery man The Red Panda, the fearless fighting female The Flying Squirrel and their army of agents on the case, the conference is safe from any threat in the world. But what about... The World Next Door?

When you put on a mask and fight for what's right, secrets are your stock and trade. They protect you, and those around you, from those that would seek to end your quest for justice. But when those secrets are compromised, the shield can become a sword in the hands of a vengeful enemy. What will happen when that moment comes for our heroes? When the mask slips, just a little? And what fury will come crashing through The Hidden Door?

Dark forces are gathering. Powers that have long slept are stirring once more; a coming storm of otherworldly evil. So our heroes have been warned. But can any warning prepare The Red Panda and The Flying Squirrel for the unknowable? Or will the Terrific Twosome of Toronto fall before The Black Hand?

An incognito visit to a traveling circus? Well, even masked heroes get the occasional evening off... or do they? When members of a high-flying family of acrobats find themselves accused of a crime, The Red Panda has even more reason than normal to clear their names and see justice served. After all, even masked heroes take a girl home to meet Mama once in a while... don't they?

Sometimes crime is so easy to spot. The thug in the alleyway, the mugger on the street... And other times the strangest little things can turn out to be the most sinister. Say... five hundred pounds of bananas that vanish into thin air. Or a load of plastic coconuts. Crimes on a theme? A new menace taking shape? Or is it a simple case of... Monkeyshines?

In hard times, people stick together. They help one another as best they can with the little they have. And always they cling to the one thing that keeps them going: Hope. But there are monsters in the darkness. Men made beasts who use that hope as a lure to prey upon those who have little else left. When creatures such as this begin to ply their vile trade in Toronto, they will pay a price for their treachery. For in this city, Justice is served freely, and by the Red-Gauntleted fistful!

Friends can sometimes be a pain in the you-know-where, but you'd sure be sunk without 'em. When Freddie the Finger has a deal turn south on him, it's only natural that he turn to his ol' pal Jackie. But with the Girl Detective still miffed over an unpaid bill, things get a little complicated. To say nothing of the corpse, or the strong possibility of more just like it. Yes sir, friends can be real Mixed Blessings at times...

Jack and Trixie's new client is a truly impressive side of beef, if the girl detective does say so herself. A prizefighter on his way to the top, until some shady types decide it might be best if he were to lose his next match... or else. Now its up to our heroes to find out who's in back of the scheme and if this is a fight they can win... or will they all get their tickets punched for the Palookaville Express?
