Castle of Frankenfreak: The Wet Monster

I met Michael Wayne Davis on a church bus belonging to Emmanuel Baptist Church of Berwyn, Illinois (yes, Svengoolie's Berwyn), since renamed to Emmanuel Bible Church. If memory serves, he was putting down other boys on the bus. I found out soon enough that this was normal for Mike Davis. I interjected "E equals MC two," a formula I had seen on "The Twilight Zone" season 4 opener. That seemed to impress him and we became fast friends. I remember that Mike reminded me of the character Richard Barrett from the British TV series "The Champions." This dates our meeting to some time after June 10, 1968, which was the first airing of "The Champions" in the United States. When we began hanging out we started, among other things, improvising comedy. We took on different characters and voices and interacted spontaneously to create scenarios. Our characters Dr. Frankenfreak, played by Mike, and his hunchback assistant Egor, played by me, were inspired by the 1931 Universal film "Frankenstein." We didn't get around to recording the scenarios on audio together until after, if memory serves, I had recorded our characters myself playing all the roles. Mike joined me recording our characters with this offering, if I remember correctly. I lifted audio from records I had: "Planet of the Apes" soundtrack and a sound effects record with a title I cannot recall.
