  • The Shadowcast 10 - The Shadow Laughs!

    The inaugural Shadow trilogy concludes with climactic chapter "The Shadow Laughs!" in December's edition of The Shadowcast! A dark, mysterious work in which The Shadow's signature twin .45 automatics make their debut, and Lamont Cranston... meets "Lamont Cranston"!

    A true classic you'll need to hear to believe.


    We conclude with a bit of disquieting news about Condé Nast's incoming Shadow relaunch, and wash the bitter taste out of our mouths with one of the greatest Mystery Horror masterpieces ever aired, 1940's "The Laughing Corpse", featuring a series of serial murders where people laugh themselves to death and die with a morbid grin.

    (You're welcome, Joker!)
