Function is also important, dude, I would like to tell him -- but I find him weird and overrated, except for the stained glass.

Now I want to find a fringed white leather jacket. The one I have is cinnamon.

I kind of liked the way they turned the original bust into a stolen waxwork. :) And the deductions were interesting, and the best man character and speech were good, I thought.

(I just finished the story.)

Love the characters and antique car in the Horror at the Gothic Mansion but the building is not as special as I hoped.

Compare with Mad Scientist's Laboratory

or Gothic Nights

Frank Lloyd Wright was a local, but he designed this chair that tended to tip over. Nice desk tho.
