Doctor Madblood's 2009 Halloween Special Still Available Online!
In honor of Halloween, Doctor Madblood has a perfectly horrible movie for you titled "House on Haunted Hill." But don't let that frighten you away, because the good doctor has a great deal more in store for those of you who venture out near the Pungo swamp.
WHRO has very kindly posted the this special Halloween special online right here.

Determined to reach out to his fans in a more personal way, Doctor Madblood is on Facebook where you can check out new photos and videos - and perhaps give the good doctor a shout-out!
Doctor Madblood aired his Halloween Horror Express at Madblood Manor from WHRO, who added a definite chill to Halloween night with the classic movie, "Horror Express" with Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and Telly Savalas. Of course, Doctor Madblood had a few special guests himself: Count Lacudra, Brain, Nurse Patience, The Sybil of the Swamp, Ernie, Edwina, Witch Jan, Witch Fran, Witch Diane, Dusty, Grinfield, Kid Exorcist, Waldo, Uncle Felonious, Count Lindor, Countess Velma, The Radio Groupie, the Haunts Producer and the Haunts Cameraman.
Adding more to the cauldron, Doctor Madblood's cameras caught three other Halloween celebrations which were featured on his Halloween Horror Express: the Virginia Air and Space Center's 17th Annual Halloween Bash, the 6th Annual Hermitage Museum and Gardens All Hallows Eve, and Monster Fest V.
Just in case you were out doing some trick or treating yourself that night - not to worry: WHRO is kindly streaming the entire show from here.

MADBLOOD VISITS ARLO ON THE RADIO
On Friday October 24th, the doc paid a visit to Mike Arlo’s radio show on 106.9 THE FOX. The guest spot was to promote Mike and Max’s appearances at the Virginia Air and Space Center’s 17th Halloween Bash, and to talk about the Madblood Halloween special set to air one week later.
Mike and Liz and Chill all made the doctor and his camera crew feel welcome, the phone lines were opened and were swiftly swamped with calls. You can see some of the old guys in action here. (click on Watch in High Quality if you have the juice)
And you can see these old pals at the Virginia Air and Space Center the following day here. (again, click on Watch in High Quality for a much better picture)
