captain_slinky | The Witching Hour

Right now, I can't remember which comic book company it was... i think it was DC, since Neil Gaiman used the characters in Sandman... but one of the comics companies used to put out a horror comic by the name of "The Witching Hour". What made this title so cool (in my opinion) was the hosts of it. "Tales From The Crypt" had The Crysp Keeper, "House Of Myster" had Caine, and "The Witching Hour" had The Three Sisters. Loosely based on the witches from "MacBeth", these were three witchy-sisters who would each present a unique tale of terror. One was an old crone - she told sotries of long ago with classic vampires and other legends. Another was a Grandmotherly lady - mid-50's, plump, and immediately likeable. She would tell stories of modern romance with a horrific twist, like cheating lovers plotting to kill a spouse to inherrit money, but it all backfires horibly. Then there was the third sister, who was the "Hip" sister - Mid-20's, attractive, and very Mod (for this was in the 60's-70's). She would tell the classic sotries of monsters and romance, but with a modern twist.

My interview at the Antique Mall was done by those three sisters. I kid you not! The old crone, the grandmotherly woman, and the "mod" girl! It was down-right spooky!

Anyway, I'll know tomorrow if I got the job or not.
