Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, there have been many Marvel blockbusters. The first movie
wasn't so great. Howard the Duck was a big bust,
but there's still a lot that went into it. And
now we'll get the whole story. Howard the Dock will
tell us about what it took to make the movie,
why it felt like the right film for Marvel to
make back in nineteen eighty six, and there will be
interviews with the cast and crew, including Leah Thompson and

(00:28):
Ed Gaale, who was actually inside the Howard the Duck costume.
Look for Howard the Dock later this year. Who would
be better to teach kids about scary horror creatures than
Alvira Nobody. Cassandra Peterson plays the Mistress of the Dark
and she wrote elviras first book of monsters. It's an
illustrated book where she'll have vampires and witches, zombies, ghosts,

learn about and adults can too. Elvirus First Book of
Monsters is coming out at the end of July. Plus
she has another book on the way in October, Elvirus
Cookbook from Hell, Sexy, spooky soires, and celebrations for every occasion.
