CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS AT SCREAM INN - PART THREE

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.
