Meet the Chiller Drive-In Stars...
 Wolfman Mac™
Having been around since the 1930's, Wolfman Mac searched for years for an outlet for his love of "B" movies and hackneyed acting. His attempts to find an outlet went unfulfilled until the fateful day, when being chased by angry villagers, he stumbled across an old abandoned drive-in and his future business partner Boney Bob.
|
 Boney Bob™
Boney was a star of the Vaudeville stage during the 1920's until the early 1930's when he decided to die for tax evasion purposes. Unfortunately, being dead stuck! Boney worked for a number of years as an extra in various horror movies in such key roles as "skeleton hanging on wall" and "skeleton in coffin" among other notable roles. Once work in Hollywood dried up Boney got work in the education field as a teaching assistant…er…aide. More precisely he was a classroom skeleton. Disheartened by the state of his career Boney went into hiding at an old abandoned drive-in until the fortuitous day when Wolfman Mac walked into his life.

 Professor M. Balmer™
Once a brilliant chemist at Cal Tech, Professor M. Balmer had his brains scrambled in a lab accident back in the 1970’s. Having gone mad, Balmer locked himself away in his basement laboratory for the next 30+ years lost in the study of undead microbials until the day Wolfman Mac called upon his services. Balmer is assisted in his experiments by TORG, who was left one year under Balmer’s Christmas tree by Santa Claus.
|
 TORG™
Abandoned at Santa’s workshop at the North Pole by invading Martians, Torg was later left as a Christmas present for Professor M. Balmer. Torg bides his time stuck on Earth serving Balmer until he can find his way back to Mars. Though he appears benign to the casual observer, Torg holds a deep resentment for all Earthlings.
|
 Morbid Melvin™
What can one say about Melvin? He's a big kid at heart… and mind for that matter. Melvin helps keep things lively at the Chiller Drive-In by getting in to all kinds of trouble.
|
 Madame Niña™
Hungarian fortuneteller with a knack of giving “dire” predictions. Works the carnival circuit as well as a corn dog vendor. She used to be a weather forecaster in Minsk but it wasn’t a satisfying job because Minsk gets 11 months of snow. A serious character… seems almost sinister but yet still willing to assist those who need help of the supernatural variety.

 Son Of Froggy
Everything you could ever want to know about this gigantic amphibian can be found at Son Of Froggy's killer web site: www.sonoffroggy.com
|
 Ivana Werkagenn™
Came to Hollywood in 1930 with stars in her eyes and very little talent, Ivana found work as a horror movie extra. Not short on self-esteem, Ivana truly believes that she is the best actress around and that the movies she has appeared in were only successful due to her presence in them. In 1935 while visiting a traveling circus Ivana had her portrait painted by a mysterious carnie artist. It wasn’t until years later that she discovered that the image in the portrait aged while she remained young and beautiful. With her eternal youth Ivana still works as a movie extra to this day.
|
 Sheldon the Monster
Frankly, this is one of Professor M Balmer's experiments gone awry. Nevertheless, Sheldon the Monster is here to rock the Chiller Drive-In... once he stops rolling around with Rubella.
|
 Rubella
A vivacious 50’s sex kitten lady Frankenstein. Died in the 1950’s but reanimated as a she-monster years later. She still fancies herself the femme fatale she was in life and likes to flirt in a sultry way.
|
 Grenadine
Once the bar maid of the undead, Grenadine recently dicovered that she's a decendent of Sarah Osborne - one of the first women accused of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials. She’s very forward and a little crude and tends to be a little loud. But we like her that way! She is well aware of her assets and knows how to use them.
|
 Scarlett LeFever
Wolfman Mac's smart, sexy girlfriend, found herself among the undead quite unexpectedly when she was bit on the neck by a overzealous date during a midnight viewing of the play "Howl at the Moon". It turns out that Harry, who claimed he was Italian, was a fledgling werewolf whose gypsy-aunt had given him a potion that prevented him from changing into a full-fledged werewolf. Fortunately for Scarlett, now endowed with yellow wolf-eyes, she only gets a little cranky during the full moon! Scarlett literally had "eyes" for Wolfman Mac the moment they met on a date set up by her sex-kitten sister, Rubella. It has been werewolf pandemonium ever since!
