Loony Fan | |
| Frightmare (1983) / int_6220d661 | comment |
Loony Fan: The victim pool is so into Conrad Radzoff's films that they steal his corpse after he dies. Naturally, this leads to his vengeful revenant coming after them. | |

White-Dwarf Starlet | |
| Frightmare (1983) / int_814356cb | comment |
White-Dwarf Starlet: Conrad Radzoff, aside from his acclaimed horror work, also performed plays written by William Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. By the end of his life, he's reduced to filming commercials but still acts like a prima donna film star. | |
