I always wondered what was going on with Klove all those years between PRINCE OF DARKNESS and SCARS.

Aug 27 12 6:10 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Has anyone listened to the Justice League animated series. That theme, especially at the end' just reminds me of that of "Twins of Evil." Yeah, this has been kicked about in the past somewhere around here, as well as at the IMDB and a couple of other places. The first two seasons of the animated series used the TWINS theme, note for note. I think the theme was changed when it became JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED. Don't know how they got away with absolutely no mention of Harry Robinson/Robertson. (I think Lolita Ritmanis was credited--not intended as a slight toward her; she's a very talented composer who contributed to a number of DC's animated projects.)

I actually did squirm a bit, and eventually was begging the screen for it to stop when Maria absolutely refused to help get herself out of harm's way all the way to the end. I don't know... I didn't think it lost much steam, although the plot hole (apparent vampires that we were never introduced to biting people at the beginning) was puzzling. I'll tell you, after being weaned on the Universal way of horror as a child and teen, getting into the Hammer stuff in my later years is kind of eye-opening. Such absolute... cruelty and meanness. Really more disturbing than the eyeball-gouging, Wizard of Gore-type stuff that was also coming to the forefront at the time.

Added to that, the intensity of cushing and the fine line between good and evil characters and you've got one of Hammers most rollicking good (or bad!) times. I seem to enjoy this and Kronos even more as the years go by...
