In this extra creepy Halloween 2024 edition of the Dandy Spook Shack, we’re gonna try the all-new Monster Cereal, Carmella Creeper. Also, we’re going to unbox, figure out how to play, and do a full review on the brand new extra creepy board game, Finders Creepers! Let’s step into the Spook Shack!

Hello and welcome to the Dandy Spook Shack! I’m your ghost with the most, your ghoul of cool, Neil Dandy. And welcome to my haunted studio!

Today, we’re going to dig into some Carmella Creeper cereal as well as review the board game Finders Creepers…

BUT FIRST! I want to tell you all about the brand new extra creepy Dandy Fun House t-shirts! They come with a front and a back so you don’t get cold and also four holes in them. One to crawl your body into, one to poke your hopefully not decapitated head out of, two to poke your arms through! How’s that? I couldn’t have done better with a pair of scissors! Go to dandyfunhouse.com and get yours today!

Oh and while you’re over at dandyfunhouse.com, check out the all new gear for the all new line of products, Coffee Badger. Why Coffee Badger? Well, a Coffee Badger is somebody who works remotely, but has to go into the office once in a while to make an appearance for absolutely no apparent reason, because their boss doesn’t want to feel like they wasted all that money buying the office space. So if you’re a coffee badger, you go in, you make your presence known, grab a cup of coffee, throw it down the old pipe, and then you badge out, wave adios and go back home to get all your real work done! Back to your own little haunted mansion, dungeon, whatever you’re doing. Maybe you live in a tree and hang outside down with all the bats. I don’t really know what you do. Hey, speaking of bats…

 

CARMELLA CREEPER MONSTER CEREAL

Before we dig into this box of Carmella Creeper, it might be a real good idea to call upon someone who knows their bats!

Who knows bats better than…Count Dracula!?

Hey, do you think if we try real hard, we can summon Count Dracula? Let’s try it.

Calling Count Dracula!

Calling Count Dracula!

(Smoke fills room and Neil starts coughing while a vampire who is not Count Dracula appears…)

Neil: Uhhh… You’re not Count Dracula…

Count Drahoon: No, no, I’m Count Drahoon. Sorry, Dracula couldn’t make it tonight. He’s actually on vacation right now, so they sent me.

Neil: Wait, wait, wait. Aren’t you the vampire that took over my show a couple of Halloween’s ago and reviewed all the monster cereals?

Count Drahoon: I sure am!

Neil: Ladies and gentlemen, it’s Count Drahoon!

(Audience goes wild with applause)

Neil: The powers that be must have seen that we were introducing the new monster cereal, Carmella creeper and thought that you might be the better fit.

Count Drahoon: Well, I don’t know. It’s been a while since I’ve actually ingested human food, but I’ll be happy to give it a try.

Neil: Well, that sounds great. I’ll try it with you. I’ve actually got two blood red bowls!

Count Drahoon: Oh, beautiful. No milk, though. We’re eating this depression era style.

Neil: Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Of course.

I found this box of Carmella Creeper in the grocery store just last week. I was checking out the monster cereals. I was like, I have not seen this monster cereal before. Is it brand new? I don’t know. So I took it off the shelf and I learned a little bit about Carmella here. She’s a zombie.

Count Drahoon: Okay… Oh, so she is.

Neil: She’s Frankenberry’s long lost cousin and she’s a DJ and she likes to spin at parties at the haunted mansion. And apparently her flavor is caramel apple.

Count Drahoon: Okay. It sounds good on paper, but…

Neil: yeah… that’s pretty much what I was thinking there myself. All right. Are we ready?

Count Drahoon: I’m ready if you are.

Neil: Hey, you guys want to open this box of Carmella creeper???

Count Drahoon: Let’s do it. Let’s dive right into it!

Neil: Wait. We didn’t really look at the box too closely.

Count Drahoon: Let’s examine.So we have the Carmella Creeper. She looks pretty hip, I’d say. Yeah. Yeah. This is what the kids are into.

Neil: Yeah. She’s got kind of a Latina vibe going on.

Count Drahoon: Yeah, I could see that. Especially with the name like Carmella. Maybe we’re saying it wrong. Maybe it’s not Carmella creeper. It’s kind of a creepe. But that’s like if you’re eating crepes. Maybe she can have like a French alter ego when they do like a crepe flavored cereal.

Neil: Looks like she’s holding a swirly bat.

Count Drahoon: Yeah. It’s really green though. And I’m a little concerned about that because sometimes this color green, it could be really hit or miss. Maybe some of your spooks and spookettes know better than me. I’m old, but this is kind of like standard club lighting, isn’t it? Like this kind of green or just more like a traffic light.

Neil: I don’t know. I’m more worried about what sort of chemicals they put in there.

Count Drahoon: Oh, no, for definitely!

Neil: I mean, you being being what? Three thousand years old…

Count Drahoon: Well, not quite. More like a thousand.

Neil: I don’t know if it would preserve you longer than you’d like to be preserved. I mean, formaldehyde, I don’t know.

Count Drahoon:It might preserve me less.

Neil: It looks like we have some skulls in there, a swirly bat. I mean, she’s even got a little snake friend up there.

Count Drahoon: And he and the snake friend’s got stitches, too. So it’s like zombies. Yeah, a zombie snake or a franken snake. However, you want to spice that.

Neil: What’s on the rest of the box? I think she’s holding up a certain finger on one of the sides I’m looking at.

Count Drahoon: Oh, I didn’t even see that. Oh, yeah. She’s pointing up.

Neil: It’s more of a more of a number one. Not the other finger.

Count Drahoon: This is a kid’s cereal. And she’s got black fingernails!

Neil: She does. And another zombie snake friend.

Count Drahoon: So, yeah. And the fingernails, it’s like, is this a fashion statement or is this her corpse? You know, because they could be rotting fingernails. Maybe both. I don’t know.

Neil: They don’t look like they’re falling off her hands.

Count Drahoon: No. So they probably are manicured that way. So that’s that’s a good sign. Yeah. We got a franken snake down here and and it’s with frightful friends, marshmallows. Oh, yeah.

Neil: What’s on the back?

Count Drahoon: I kind of like the back. So it’s like different rooms in the house and each of these pets are doing different things. So you’ve got the snake. He’s doing a little the DJ scratch as it were. And then see, there’s an Igor, Count Chocula, fearless guard spider who’s fiercely loyal. Can you find his teddy bear? So it’s like a little scavenger hunt on the back of the cereal box. So that can keep you preoccupied for a couple of minutes.

Neil: I like it. I like it. So this is the haunted mansion where she throws all her DJ parties. She’s got the Frankenberry and Count Chocula and Boo Berry and a little kitty cat.

Count Drahoon: Yes. Meowberry. Oh, I like puns. I appreciate. I appreciate a good pun from time to time.

Neil: All right. Well, let’s let’s try Carmella’s cereal!

(pours cereal)

That is some bright green cereal right there!

Count Drahoon: It’s very, very bright green. That’s just really not right.

Neil: I remember the last monster cereals we had. They tasted like styrofoam covered with sugar.

(Neil and Count Drahoon taste the cereal)

Count Drahoon: That’s not bad. I’m really not getting the caramel apple thing though.

Neil: I’m not either. It’s sugary.

Count Drahoon: There’s a very slight hint of the caramel apple towards the end. It’s more like an aftertaste, but it’s basically like fruit striped gum. It’s here and there.

Neil: I’m going to try one of these marshmallow bats.

Count Drahoon: It’s more like a shriveled dried up corpse of a marshmallow.

Neil: Mine’s seen by the days as well. I tend to be getting more of the caramel apple thing off the marshmallow, but still not much. It’s more. I feel like we’ve been taken in by another gimmick.

Count Drahoon: No, I think you’re right. It’s funny because I don’t taste the caramel apple with the shriveled up bat. Let me try the shriveled up… There’s also a shriveled up jack-o’-lantern??? Kind of looks like a really deformed bear.

Neil: Actually, that’s not a jack-o’-lantern.

Count Drahoon: It’s not? What is that?

Neil: That’s Frankenberry. Oh. She’s Frankenberry’s long lost cousin.

Count Drahoon: That’s right. Well, Frankenberry looks like he’s seen better days.

Neil: Yes. I think they all have.

Count Drahoon: But I’m not getting I’m not getting the caramel apple and the marshmallows. It just tastes like straight sugar marshmallow to me.

Neil: This is indeed General Mills’ very first female cereal monster.

Count Drahoon: Stunning and brave.

Neil: That’s what I was going to say. That’s what we have to say by law.

She was introduced in 2023, but I did not see her.

Count Drahoon: I completely missed that.

Neil: I didn’t see her on the shelf until this year, so I don’t know where they were keeping her.

Count Drahoon: In the dungeon…

Neil: What what are we rating this cereal?

Count Drahoon: So… not as good as Count Chocula. Count Chocula is just the best. You can’t beat it.

Neil: Well, I wouldn’t know because you ate the whole box.

Count Drahoon: I did eat the whole box. I’m sorry. I owe you a box of Count Chocula. But Count Chocula is by far the best. I think I said that Frankenberry was a close second. Frankenberry was decent. But then once you get into Boo Berry and then oh, what was the other one? The fruit… It was the fruit one with the werewolf on the cover of it.

Neil: Frute Brute!

Count Drahoon: Oh yes! They tasted eerily similar. I will put Carmella Creeper above Frute Brute.

Neil: Yeah, I would too.

Count Drahoon: There is some semblance of a caramel apple flavor to it, but it’s very, very faint. So I would rate it better than Frute Brute but not quite as good as Boo Berry.

Neil: Not quite as good as the classics!

Count Drahoon: That’s right! Exactly.

Neil: OK, well, then there you’ve got a Carmella Creeper, everybody. And I believe we’re going to continue snacking on Carmella Creeper while we check out the game of…

 

FINDERS CREEPERS AUGMENTED REALITY BOARD GAME REVIEW!

Neil: Let’s look at the box…

Count Drahoon: That looks kind of fancy.

Neil: Look at the packaging. They have a little thing here. You move it around and find things on the box by moving this little viewfinder around.

It’s by Micro Games of America, MGA. It’s an app-vanced game. Now, what that means is that it uses augmented reality with your phone. And in addition to finding monsters in the game, you also find monsters out in the real world. You basically hunt digital monsters with your phone.

Count Drahoon: So we’re giving kids more of an excuse to use their phone!

Neil: That’s pretty much the idea.

Count Drahoon: Wow.

Neil: Now, normally on this show I shy away from board games in particular and anything that doesn’t have a tangible object that does something interesting. But since this is the Halloween episode, I figured this had an interesting box and you’re going to be able to find animated ghouls and spooky things in here with your phones. I figured it might make for an interesting episode.

Count Drahoon:I think so.

Neil: Or we might find out that this is a complete piece of garbage.

Count Drahoon: A complete dud. Just like the Carmella Creeper.

CHECKING OUT THE BOX

Neil: So here we’ve got the Finders Creepers box. I really like the way they’ve done this.

Count Drahoon: It’s pretty eye catching.

Neil: That’s what caught my eye was the eye catchiness of it. So you’ve got the front of it here where you can kind of use this viewfinder kind of thing to move around and discover things on the box. I think it’s just a piece of white cardboard behind it that makes stuff show up a little better. But still good packaging.

Have a look at the sides here. They are pretty much all the same. Good graphics though. And then on the back you have a shot of the board itself.

Count Drahoon: Uh, how you would use your phone?

Neil: Looking at the board… Apparently you see the monsters jumping out of the board at you. That’s how you find them.

Count Drahoon: And you’re supposed to hunt monsters?

Neil: I believe you capture three of them to win. And then apparently the monsters can also appear around the room.

Count Drahoon: This is already starting to feel like a Black Mirror episode.

Neil: What is the black mirror?

Count Drahoon: It’s this show that’s kind of like the modern Twilight Zone minus a host, but it’s like cautionary sci-fi and horror tales in an anthology format. And I just feel like the idea that you’re playing with monsters that come out of your phone just strikes me as a Black Mirror episode.

Neil: By the way, you have just flown back from Hollywood.

Count Drahoon: I did.

Neil: And your bat wings must be very, very tired.

Count Drahoon: That’s why I said I had a really long flight getting here.

Neil: Ok, I’m here trying to open this box of Finders Creepers and I’m not having much luck with it. I cannot figure out how they’ve got this thing sealed up. I don’t see any tape on it.

Count Drahoon: It must be packed in really tight. Oh, I think you got it. Yeah, you got a little bit of it.

Neil: Ahhh… here it is! There’s a flap on the end with two pieces of tape. But that also means I have to find a sharp object to cut the tape. Sing a song. I’ll be back with something sharp.

Count Drahoon: Um, how about a poem instead?

Once upon the midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary over a many-acquainted and curious volume of forgotten lore, while I nodded nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping as if someone gently rapping at my chamber door. Tis some visitor, I muttered, only this and nothing more. Ah, yes, I remember it was the bleak December and every dying ember wrought its course upon my books, sir cease of sorrow for the lost Lenore. (Edgar Allen Poe)

Neil: (back with a knife) All right, let’s slice it open and see what we’ve got!

Count Drahoon: Slasher rules applied.

Neil: There we go. Time to open the coffin lid. Oh, it magnetizes closed! They’ve really gone all out on the presentation here.

Count Drahoon: Wow.

Neil: (opens box) Look! It’s an entire graveyard!

Count Drahoon: That’s beautiful artwork, actually.

Neil: (reading the text over the graveyard) It was the fateful night the relentless members of Invisible Inc. had been waiting for. The paranormal hunters tracked down the tombs. 12 of the most horrible monsters you could imagine. Was it a mistake to open their graves and release them onto the world? Let’s not quibble about that now. There are monsters to be caught! Each member wants to prove they are the best and find and catch these creepers inside the horrible haunted house. Get ready to join the mission!

(Looking at the graveyard) Now, this is kind of like an advent calendar.

Count Drahoon: It does kind of look a little bit like it.

Neil: You want to do the honors?

Count Drahoon: Sure. So you peel open the first flap and you find Abby Stabby! Battery included is what the first gravestone says. You get this little number, this little chip right here (holds up an Abby Stabby game token). And let me tell you, she is she is a beaut, just an absolute beaut.

Neil: Now, she one of the monsters?

Count Drahoon: Yes! Next we have Papa Poppets. He’s a little like a professional wrestler from the 90’s named Papa Shango, who was like sort of like a voodoo guy. And that’s kind of what he reminds me of a little bit. Some of these characters however don’t they don’t feel entirely original.

Neil: I will say they’re not flimsy!

Count Drahoon: Next we have Curse the Cat.

Neil: I see they’re they are on cardboard, but they’re on nice, thick cardboard. I’ve reviewed some games where it’s just like little cheap flimsy floppy things and this seems to have much better quality.

This Curse the Cat character appears to be just a scary black cat. And I like that.

Neil: Cats don’t really get scary on their own. I think cruel humans make them scary.

Count Drahoon: Right. Especially when you’re walled up with one like in the movie The Black Cat! Next up, we have Harper the Hag. Is it a boy?

Neil: I think a hag is usually reserved for a female.

Count Drahoon: Yeah, that’s what I was thinking.

Neil: Like the sea hag from Popeye.

Count Drahoon: But I guess nowadays a hag can be gender neutral.

Neil: Well, you know, once you visit the Vanderbilt Clinic, anything goes!

Count Drahoon: Next we have Sir Henry Chestershire. It’s like a werewolf cat.

Neil: A werewolf cat?

Count Drahoon: That’s what it looks like to me.

Neil: Nah, that’s just a werewolf.

Count Drahoon: That’s a werewolf. But but but Chester, that’s kind of very cat name.

Neil: Yeah, it’s a very cat name, but it’s kind of British. So, you know, the whole werewolf of London kind of thing.

Count Drahoon: Our next monster is Slimm Grimm. This is more of a more of a ghoul kind of. It looks like Bat Boy all grown up and working as an accountant.

Neil: (lifting out the cardboard graveyard and finding a large booklet) Well, I guess these are the instructions. The rule book. Now, I DID take the liberty of going online and watching a video on how to play. The video was 12 minutes long and there were five million rules to this things. And it was just the most convoluted, complicated thing I’d ever seen in my life.

You know, I kind of just want to pull out the board game, flash my phone at it and look at the cool monsters. And you know, it should just be obvious how you play it. But from what I saw, it’s very involved.

Now, I’m hoping once we actually get in and play this thing that everything will become real obvious. But first you have to download the app and I have already done that. And I’m going to launch it now.

Count Drahoon: That’s a neat looking app I must say!

(APP INTRODUCTION VOICE)

Welcome members of Invisible Inc. The premier paranormal investigation organization. I’m your assistant, Boogle.

Count Drahoon: Run!

(App continues) your guide through your mission.

Neil: You’ve got a tutorial here and it is 12 minutes long. We’re not going to do that today.

Count Drahoon: What? A 12 minute tutorial?

Neil: I’ll skip and scan through some of this.

(App continues) 12 monster tombstone tiles, eight run special action chips and eight gear special action chips. You can pause. I’ll wait…

The monster guide shows you the gear needed to catch each of the monsters. Your app includes the monster guide as well. Each monster has an icon associated with them. Place the tombstone tiles on the corresponding icons. Find the full list of icons in the rulebook. Now get the gear tiles ready. There are six kinds of gear to collect.

Separate out the six haunted objects and four holy object tiles. Set four of the haunted object tiles aside. Shuffle the upside down gear tiles and make 12 stacks of three tiles. Now shuffle up the remaining six gear tiles, two haunted object and four holy object tiles and randomly deal one to the bottom of each of the piles.

Neil: Be sure to hold your left earlobe while standing on your right leg…

Count Drahoon: and be sure to scratch there. Sniff that.

(App continues) Haley, Ruth or Diego.

Count Drahoon: Who are these people?

Neil: They’re the monster hunters.

(App continues) If No one has spotted a spirit, The oldest player goes first.

Count Drahoon: Well THAT’S discriminatory!

(App continues) Place your hunter figurine at the enter gate. Now let’s use the app to set up a mission. One player must be the host and the other players will join their mission.

Neil: So you would have to download the app and then join my mission with your phone.

(App tutorial continues despite Neil desperately trying to stop it)

Neil: I’m trying to stop this thing.

Count Drahoon: You can’t. It doesn’t stop. It never ends.

(App continues) Once everyone is done, it’s time to start the mission.

Neil: I mean all that and we haven’t even started it yet. (Neil finally makes the app shut up!) I had to swipe the whole app away to get it to stop! 12 minutes. 12 minutes of that and it’s really complicated how you move from room to room, find things and if you don’t do something right, it sends you back to the start.

Okay, there’s a bunch of cards here and I guess you have to punch them all out.

Count Drahoon: Okay. Oh, it’s like demonic Beauty and the Beast.

Neil: Fire extinguisher. You’ve got the Necronomicon.

Count Drahoon:vYeah, this is a lot to break down.

Neil: There are nets, Ghostbusters cannons and these are all the things you use to catch the ghost when then you’ve got a blowtorch and some kind of spike.

Count Drahoon: So you so everyone gets these or do you get to choose?

Neil: I’m not really sure and it would take you so long to learn what you have to do, I’m not quite sure I want to sit through all that. I will say they’ve gone all out on the graphics.

Count Drahoon: They really have.

Neil: I’m sure maybe once you spend some time with this and really get into it, you’ll understand what’s going on. Here’s the instructions on how to play. Several pages! (turning pages) We’re still going here. Still going… Still going… And do you really want to read all that?

Count Drahoon: Out of curiosity how how long do most instruction manuals last for your basic board game?

Neil: Most games that I review are usually just a one sheet thing and at the most it’s maybe two pages. You know what I haven’t found yet?

Count Drahoon: What’s that?

Neil: The board. The game board. Where’s the actual game board itself?

Count Drahoon: Is it under that white cardboard flap?

Neil: OH There’s a slot in the bottom of the box where it just slides in!

Count Drahoon: That’s kind of neat.

Neil: I was about to rip this whole thing apart.

Count Drahoon: Wow.

Neil: You want to give instructions? That’s what you should give the instructions on! I’ll tell you what. I absolutely refuse to read all these instructions in a game review. It’s just not going to happen. We’re just going to open the board and have whatever kind of fun we can have with this thing and leave it up to our audience to decide if you want to explore further.

But wow! Look at the size of this game board!

Count Drahoon: That’s a beautiful board. That’s amazing.

Neil: Here is our game board. And I’m going to host the game. You can choose a high intensity or a low intensity version with the app. I’m going to choose high intensity.

(Game asks for age verification for the high intensity mode)

Count Drahoon: Nosey question. And it’s showing some interesting graphics here. I’ve never done anything like this.

Neil: I haven’t either.

Count Drahoon: So apparently you choose which hunter you want. I’m feeling Diego.

(App starts game play) Get ready. Game is starting. Scan the board first… The monsters are out!

Neil: OK, so you can see the monsters on the board with your phone.

Count Drahoon: That’s that’s kind of neat.

Neil: I think you’re supposed to memorize what rooms they’re all in.

Count Drahoon: It’s my turn. I’ll try to catch a monster.

(app instructs player to touch a room to search for monsters)

Count Drahoon: Sure. I’ll touch a room and search for Numbskull the Clown monster. (zombie comes out and eats the player) Oh, what? What? What just happened? A zombie came out and ate me!

Neil: So basically, I think the bottom line to Finders Creepers here is that this takes some time and attention.

Count Drahoon: Yes. You have to be willing to get into it, get into the instructions, get into the game, learn the different nuances of it and really spend some time.

Neil: And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Count Drahoon: No, it’s not. This is probably a game for somebody that has like intermediate gaming experience, both online and with board games. So if you’re good at both of those or if you have intermediate expertise with board gaming, I think this could be a good game for you. But for somebody that just maybe plays Monopoly casually, you’re probably going to need to make room in your schedule to sort of sit down and really learn how to do this because it does seem a bit complicated. I think it would probably be worth it, though, because it’s really neat how the whole game is set up. It really integrates AI very well. The designs for everything are really top notch. This is a high quality game. But yeah, it does seem a bit complicated.

Neil: I agree. This game is more for the board game enthusiast. Somebody who wants to roll up their sleeves and dig into something. And it’s something that I don’t think they’ll get bored with it quickly because there seems to be a lot of things going on. And if you really want to sink your teeth into it, there’s a lot here to get into and sink your teeth into.

I was personally ready to give this a bad review. And the reason I was ready to give it a bad review is because while I was preparing for this show, I was watching the video on how to play it. And it just got so involved that my eyes just glazed over. I was like, you know, drool black drool started coming from the corners of my mouth.

Count Drahoon: Oh, that’s where it came from…

Neil: Yes, yes. And, and I was just like, Oh, this is horrible. This is a train wreck. Who wants to do all this? But now that I’ve opened it, and I’ve looked at the quality that they’ve actually put into this game and how interesting they’ve gone into making the packaging and the development of the app. I mean, not only do you see ghouls and goblins and things in the haunted house jumping out at you through your phone, but there are parts in it where you’re going to be able to go around the room and see them actually where you’re hanging out. And for that reason, I’ve changed my mind, I’m gonna say they’ve knocked it out of the park with this thing. It’s not for me. But it wasn’t made for me.

Count Drahoon: No, I agree. This is this is a hardcore game enthusiast game. So on that end, if you’re grading it on that curve, this gets high marks, definitely.

Neil: FINDERS CREEPERS! Find it wherever you creep!

CATCHING UP WITH COUNT DRAHOON

Neil: Count Drahoon, you left us here in Murfreesboro all by ourselves for a while. And I believe you went and spent some time in Hollywood, California?

Count Drahoon: I did.

Neil: So what were you doing out there? And I understand that you’re now back in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. So tell us about that.

Count Drahoon: Yes. So, California, I was out there just trying to sort of expand the web as it were for, you know, all things Count Drahoon. I think I did to an extent. I hosted horror films out of LA for a while. But I got homesick and I decided it was time to come back to Tennessee, because I think things are really happening out here. And I think this is the place to be. So I wanted to come back home to Tennesseevania and I’ve really started hitting the ground running and it’s almost as if I never skipped a beat! And I’m doing all kinds of stuff out here in in Murfreesboro!

Neil: I noticed you’re doing Monday night classic horror films at Hop Springs Brewery.

Count Drahoon: Yes.

Neil: It doesn’t mean a whole lot to any of you who are not in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. But it means a lot to us. So you’re hosting classic horror movie nights there. What else are you doing around?

Count Drahoon: That’s mostly what I’m doing right now. So Monday nights, I’ve dubbed it the Monster Movie Mondays over at Hop Springs. I’m doing double features every Monday for October and one Wednesday.

And then I’m also doing a few other shows around town. We just had one last night from where we’re recording at Cedar Glade Brews. Went very well. I did that with my friend Scufflemoss Treeman, who’s a forest troll. Murfreesboro is a very strange town. We did a live riff track of the Beast of Yucca Flats, which is one of the worst movies ever made. But it’s a lot of fun.

Neil: So for the people who are not in Murfreesboro who want to dig into the world of Count Drahoon, where do they go?

Count Drahoon: Yeah, so I do have a YouTube channel. It’s called Count Drahoon Presents. And I do movie reviews of horror films, but I’ve branched out a little bit. So I do like top 10 countdowns of my favorite movies of the year. And I do include non horror titles in there.

Neil: So basically YouTube is where you find Count Drahoon these days.

Count Drahoon: Exactly.
