Last night, Roy and I were armed to the teeth for a discussion of “Captain Kronos, Vampire Hunter.” For once, the digressions were practically necessary to the conversation about this off-the-wall Hammer cult classic, in which basically anything goes. Is it horror? Swashbuckler? Spaghetti western? Japanese chanbara? The program has been archived for your belated enjoyment here:
Tomorrow night, we’ll speak with actor David Frankham, on a special Sunday edition of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Frankham’s resume encompasses a colorful cross-section of classic film and television. In particular, he has been elevated to a kind of “Star Trek” nobility for his role in the original series episode “Is There in Truth No Beauty?” He also co-starred in the film “Master of the World,” with Vincent Price and Charles Bronson, which we only just discussed the week before last.
Regrettably, because of technical issues at Trekonderoga, our conversation had to be rescheduled. We hope you used that extra time to prepare! Leave your questions in the comments section, during a frank discussion with David Frankham, when we livestream on Facebook, tomorrow evening at 7:00 EDT!

In the meantime, watch Frankham transform into a monstrous skeleton, as a “magician,” in the opener of this classic episode of Boris Karloff’s “Thriller.” The episode also features Henry Daniell and Marion Ross, later “Mrs. C” on “Happy Days!”
