Retsy Series 1 · Card 0157 · 80-TVV
Grab a blanket, darlings. It gets dusty.
A theatrical horror host in a moth-eaten gown introduced creaky old creature movies on Friday nights.
The story · 1984
Madame Mothball lived in a closet full of old coats and smelled, she claimed, like a cedar chest. Between movies she told terrible puns and fed her pet moth, Cornelius, a single sock. The movies were cheesy and black and white, but staying up for her sign-off shriek was the ultimate sleepover badge of honor.
Cornelius the moth was a puppet on a fishing rod, worked by Madame Mothball's nephew.
