1976
was a good year for Scream Inn – WHOOPEE! didn’t miss a single week and the
two-page feature was in every issue of the comic. The readers kept the
Innkeeper and his team busy by suggesting all sorts of candidates who they
thought might try their luck at spending a night in the Haunted Bedroom and
winning the coveted prize of one million pounds. Some of the notable guests
included Innkeeper’s twin, Dr. Livingstone, Old King Neptune, WWI Air Ace Der
Red Baron, Al Capone, Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland and Doctor Doolittle,
to mention but a few.
Here’s
how the resident ghouls of Scream Inn celebrated the X-mas of 1976:
There
was also a 4-pager in the Shiver and
Shake 1977 Annual published for the X-mas of 1976. The last panel of the
set is perhaps the most nicely drawn slap-up feed scene in UK comics ever.
The
fourth and last part of this Christmas series will be up soon.
