It’s April 1975, and Richard is still that lonely, haunted little kid we met in RHPB Ep.1: Ghosts & Specters.  In fact, it’s just a few weeks later when, courtesy of Mrs. Fuller (the librarian who introduced Richard to his first paranormal bookshelf) that he comes across Monsters, Giants and Little Men From Mars by Daniel Cohen.  It seems like the perfect fit.  But then Darren McGavin shows up in Kolchak: The Night Stalker and shows Richard that some monsters can be defeated -- if you’ve got the nerve…  

Flash forward to 1985 and Richard seems to have left all of his monsters behind.  But that summer, a very different kind of monster shows up way too close to Richard’s home, and nothing will ever be the same again…
