(49.8 MB; 1:48:56 MIN)
We continue our adventure, as we attempt to get back to the present day without a time machine and return Dr. Von Martinez to his slightly more intelligent self. Will Dr. Delhambre's henchman wipe out Dr. Despicable? Will we ever make it back home? How in the heck does a dinosaur become a zombie, anyway? Listen and find out...
While we try to survive cavemen, dinosaurs, Mister Master Mastrepol and a particularly ticked off henchman, you get to listen to episodes of Darkness and The Strange Dr. Weird that concern themselves with people who've regressed to their prehistoric selves, not to mention a version of "The Lost World" featuring Basil Rathbone! Taliesin manages to tie vampires with dinosaurs (believe it or not), courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.

Does The Darkness host make the worst attempts at puns in all of OTR?

I'm with you on that one. I'm not a fan of the Inner Sanctum's Raymond Johnson's puns (I hate his tea loving companion Mary Bennett too), but Claude's puns are by far the worst.

I'm a big fan of Raymond - AKA Mr. Host - but Mary is a major pain, buzzkill and uber-prude. But she does act as a pretty good foil for some of his more lousy puns.

Speaking of OTR hosts, The Librarian from The Crime Club is one who gives me nothing but listening joy, no matter how many times he repeats the same intro. His well-paced spiel, together with an excellent organist and sound effects, leave room for little else, not that I'd want The Librarian to mess with success. Crime Club's sound effects remind me of the four-note musical 'warning' "Da Da De Da," that someone or something is lurking just beyond the scenery, someone or something that wants to eat the living or undead in the Frequency of Fear's cast. The rapid little footsteps, when for instance, Doctor D cuts out for home or the Winnebago, or when DD, ZA, Doctor WVM and Captain Bonemarrow need to escape Eugene, give my child's imagination a happy, nostalgic rewind. Yes, it's a labcoat, not a dress! Hyar Hyar Hyar! Only in Frequency of Fear is the absolute terror of a hungry T-Rex made worse with a Zombie T-Rex. Holds a victim down while scooping out one's brains with one incisor, then leaving the rest of the victim for the 'babies' to snack on.

Loved your reference to Rick and Will Marshall, it was a lot funnier than their recent movie.

Ohhhh, that movie should not have been made. The original show was bad enough, but it was at least endearingly bad.
Can we talk about Holly's eyebrows? You could suffocate a sleestak in those things.

Actually, given the many limitations of early-'70s, Saturday morning, kids' programming, I thought the TV series was pretty slick. And with David Gerrold writing/script-editing the first season, the stories weren't as lame as they could have been (or became, especially when season 3 rolled around). However, I'm not prepared to defend Holly on any level. As for the movie, as soon as I heard Will Ferrell was topping the bill, I knew it was a lost cause - and still haven't seen it.

I saw the movie (mostly because I love Anna Friel.) It was horrible. Not the "good" kind of horrible, either.

Holly was one of my first childhood crushes, eyebrows and all!
The show is hard to watch nowadays, but yeah, it has that nostalgic charm. Just hearing about a movie was an eye roller, especially with Will Farrell. I don't get that appeal at all. But, what do I know?
