Ian and Randi

After finding Randi sprawled on the sofa watching a monster movie marathon on television, Ian drags her off to “go sightseeing”; to the unwilling Randi’s delight, he takes her to the old ‘Granada’ film theatre from her childhood, which is scheduled for demolition within the hour. When the duo make to leave, the doors slam shut of their own accord and an old black and white horror film, ‘Bride of the Wolfman’, starts playing on the screen; then things get really bizarre, as Randi and Ian are sucked into the film and find themselves in a monochrome world, outside a creepy-looking castle. Welcomed as ‘Doctor and Mrs Hapgood’ by a hunchbacked servant named Boris, Ian and Randi learn that they are guests of mad scientist Doctor Pretorius, who wants Ian’s help with his experiments in creating life from human body parts stitched together; also staying at the castle are Pretorius’ daughter, Elizabeth, and her fiancé, Thomas – who just happens to be a very unconvincing werewolf. Can Ian and Randi escape the movie and find a way home? And can they get out of the theatre before it gets demolished?
