"THE MOON -- IT'S SO FULL -- SO BRIGHT -- AND -- I'M STARTING TO CHANGE AGAIN -- TURNING INTO -- AARRRHGNN!!!!"
An eighteen year old boy discovers that he has inherited the curse of lycanthropy!!! How did it begin? What does the evil vampire Dracula have to do with it? Where will it all end??
Find out the answers here, by listening to this mp3 (20MB) of the 45 record which accompanied the 1974 Marvel Comics Group release "The Curse of the Werewolf" under its "Power Records" series which let "the action come alive" as you read. What better way to get ready for Halloween than with a spoooooky tale such as this? Enjoy!
YESSSS!!!

I had the Man-Thing one. Creepy story about a clown who shoots himself. Then the clown's ghost comes back and gets WTFPWND by Man-thing. I'm kidding: Man-Thing actually sucked and didn't do anything but I think there was some drinking involved in the story too. You could sell crap like this to kids in the 70's.

I had this too, and it's great! There were also Planet of the Apes (movies and TV versions) and Frankenstein. Makes me miss my old record player from Korvettes.

Ooooh... I've got Man-Thing, and it IS creepy with that suicidal clown ghost! Very heavy shit for kids, no? And I've got Dracula, too. Maybe will post them too at some point. Wish I could get my hands on the Frankenstein one. He was my favorite monster. Thank you, Jason! WWW!!!

I had this record & book too. I also believe that Power Records released a "Swamp Thing" set as well.

I still have this record. Very beat up, but it plays and doesn't skip.
"No, mom, I guess I'm not very hungry. I'll just rest in my room today and think".
"Neither can win - but neither will lose!"
Very sampleworthy.

Yes, my parents bought this stuff for me as well...what was wrong with our parents!? "Werewolf By Night" was one of my favorite Marvel titles as a kid in the '70's. I used to think how cool it would be to be a werewolf. Crazy kid. Great nostalgia trip. Alas, I long ago lost track of my "Book and Record" collection. Thanks for posting this.

I actually di sample this record (which I LOVED as a kid) on my 2003 solo album:
"...Then sleep tightly, dark beast, for you shall never wake again!"
Killer every time.

I listened to this as a kid in the mid 70's. Amazing how I remember nearly every word ...
