Loon: We have a special treat today. The Lords of the 4th Dimension have brought to us for the 3 Question Interview the famous movie star, Bela Lugosi. Welcome, Mr. Lugosi. Is that a wine stain on your tuxedo?
Ghost of Lugosi: I never drink … wine.

Ghost of Lugosi: All the children of the night belong to me. Look into my eyes.
Loon: They’re nice and glowy. Do…you…..have………
