Now it can be told...
The
Secret Origin
of
Valentina
Von Frankenstein !

The Secret Origin of Valentina Von Frankenstein! For over a year, I have had the idea for an “origin” story involving my horror hostess, Valentina Von Frankenstein. I got inspiration from “Weird Science” (1985) and “Young Frankenstein” (1974). I presented it to my partner, Dino Leto, as a writing challenge and he accepted! I would like this to be our lead story for issue #2 of “Horror Shorts.” Enjoy!



A VERY brief History of Horror (and some Sci-Fi) in 4 pages!

A VERY brief History of Horror in 4 pages! ...with a disclaimer: This is a work of fiction created to entertain based on my opinions and not intended to be a definitive guide of horror movies, television, or comics. With that said, this was a story I have wanted to do for a LONG time. Over the past couple of years, it has taken on several revisions and rewrites as I worked it in between other projects. The fun for me was figuring out how to incorporate all my favorite people and characters: Edgar Allan Poe; Universal Monsters; EC's Ghoulunatics; Warren's Eerie, Creepy, and Vampirella; Rod Serling; Harlan Ellison; Jaws; Kolchak the Nightstalker; ROM the spaceknight; Videodrome; and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, just to name a few! I'm sure if you are a horror or sci-fi fan reading this, I probably left out your favorite. For that, I apologize and kindly refer you back to the disclaimer. Enjoy!
