Bela Lugosi would have been perfect as the lead in this adaptation of “The Monster Maker” by W.C. Morrow, an author of rather grisly short fiction. I first encountered this story in the Bernhardt J. Hurwood collection “Monsters Galore” – and it has stayed with me for over 50 years.

Grampa’s story by this name appeared in his 1911 collection “More Ghost Stories” – you should check out the original…it is a rather subtle tale.

This story tells of my earliest encounter with the Night Floaters, malignant beings who can detach their heads from the trunks of their bodies, the heads then being able to fly or float thru the night in order to feed upon the blood, the flesh and the sanity of potential victims...and they “get kids.”.
