Get into the way, way back machine and travel through the mists of time with the Late Night Fright to 1925 for a look back at Universal’s classic adaptation of Gaston Leroux’s novel The Phantom Of The Opera. The film is a showcase for the Man Of A Thousand Faces, Lon Chaney, whose makeup design for Erik, the disfigured genius haunting the Paris Opera, is one of the greatest ever realized in a motion picture and is still absolutely terrifying all these years later. 
The Late Night Fright has been spotlighting classic Universal monster movies throughout the month of October. The Phantom may be the most vile, despicable creature we’ve talked about on the show. He is a manipulative and possessive murderer, a far cry from the often popular view of him as a tragic, romantic anti-hero. Be absolutely careful of the music of the night and watch out for the falling chandelier!
News from in and around Cozy Corner includes the tale of Boppo the Clown’s adventure in the shark tank at the Cozy Corner Aquarium, a look at the box office juggernaut FART! The Musical now playing at the Cozy Corner Community Playhouse, Greg Huffleplank’s lawsuit against the Cozy Corner Travel Agency for denying him a ticket to Wakanda, and another impassioned plea to Robert Englund to come on the show. 
Commercial bumpers include a new spot for THE STRAIGHT DOPE with Harrison Ford; TREKKIEZ with Scott Rice, host of Lazer Beamz (pew pew);  BLEU, the little blue bedroom enhancement pill from Welsh Jennings featuring a pitch from Bobby D’Amato, and Sir Michael Caine for Welsh Jennings.
Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up and get ready to howl at the moon! It’s time for THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT!
