GUEST APPEARANCES AT SCREAM INN – ‘ORRIBLE HOLE!!
‘Orrible Hole, illustrated by Reg Parlett,
started in WHOOPEE! (or rather WHOOPEE! & SHIVER AND SHAKE) No. 43 (January
18, 1975), appeared regularly throughout 1975 and 1976
and the first half of 1977, then became less frequent. It continued to pop up
during 1978 and 1979 as part of the Ghostly Go Round Feature, and ended
in WHOOPEE! No. 300, cover-dated January 12, 1980.
This little weird character knocked on the door of Scream Inn in Whoopee! & SHIVER AND SHAKE No. 58 (May 3, 1975). Check out the two-pager, followed by the ‘Orrible Hole strip proper from the same issue of the excellent and hilarious WHOOPEE! comic. Aren't they marvelous?!! I really must get round to doing a detailed overview of WHOOPEE! when I have more free time on my hands…

GUEST APPEARANCES AT SCREAM INN – GHOUL GETTERS LTD. AND FUN FEAR
The next episode of Scream Inn with a guest
appearance of fellow WHOOPEE! characters can
be found in the issue cover-dated 8th February, 1975 (No. 46). This time the
guests were Dad and his lad Arnold, collectively known as Ghoul Getters Ltd. The strip,
drawn by Trevor Metcalfe, had originated in SHIVER AND SHAKE. I covered it the SHIVER
AND SHAKE series a couple of years ago, the article can be found HERE.
The not-so-easily-intimidated duo
gave the spooks a hard time and it took another guest appearance to save
Innkeeper from losing his one million quid. Brian Walker didn’t waste time
redrawing the creepy merry-go-round from the masthead of Fun
Fear – he simply glued a photographic reproduction to his artwork –
just as he did every week with the Scream Inn sign in the first panel
(I know this because I have an original page which I once showed HERE).
Here is the episode, followed by Ghoul
Getters Ltd and Fun Fear from the same issue of Whoopee! and Shiver & Shake
