...missed the first nylon sale. They bought clothes for the family, tidbits for the table. Men & women blew themselves to a restaurant dinner, went to a hockey game, or to a movie.

The sudden snort of a horse is timed to scare the daylights out of you; there is a grisly shot of Lugosi's slaughtered head, distorted beneath brine ; and the last passage in the picture is as all-out, hair-raising a climax to a horror film as you are ever likely...
