...which featured Edgar Allan Poe-themed stories! We now present another never-reprinted story of lost love from DC's Scooby-Doo #117 (2007), a tale of Poe...I mean woe...that's filled with Easter Eggs!         Find all the Easter Eggs? Start with the cover caption..."Twice-Told Tales of Terror!", a combination of Twice-Told Tales and Tales of Terror...anthologies of stories by Nathanael Hawthorne and Edgar Allen Poe...both adapted by producer Roger Corman into B-movies for American International Pictures in the 1960s! (Since Twice-Told Tales (by Hawthorne) starred the legendary Vincent Price, who starred in all the Edgar Allen Poe flicks for AIP, it's usually considered part of the "Poe Cycle"!) Writer Scott Peterson, penciler Robert Pope, and inker Scott McRae load the story with lots of Poe references both in the script and art. Did you know that, though considered one of the first gothic horror writers, Poe was also part of the "American Romantic" movement as explained HERE!

Captain's Theatre ADDAMS FAMILY in Animation!
After the 1960s live-action TV series, the Addams Family's next video appearance was on...
...The New Scooby Doo Movies in 1972!
The episode"Wednesday is Missing" featured live-action cast members John Astin (Gomez), Carolyn Jones (Morticia), Ted Cassidy (Lurch), and Jackie Coogan (Uncle Fester) reprising their roles.
The others were performed by Hanna-Barbera voice actors including actress Jodie Foster as Pugsley!
Apparently the audience response (and ratings) were positive, because the next year featured an Addams Family animated series!
The show featured the family traveling around the country in a mobile home resembling their house!
One unusual aspect was that the characters gained supernatural abilities they never displayed in the original New Yorker magazine cartoons or the live-action TV series!
(One other note, the episode is the only one not included in the New Scooby Doo Movies DVD sets from Warner Brothers!

Ted Cassidy, and Jackie Coogan voiced their characters again, while Jodie Foster reprised her role as Pugsley!
Sadly, we can't show more than the opening credits from that show in color, but we can do the next best thing...
...the episode, but in black and white!
You can see it in color...
...with this comic book adapted from the episode seen above!
Be Here Tomorrow to Enjoy this Never-Reprinted, Almost 50 year-old Tale!
