The Thrilling Adventure Hour (originally "The Thrilling Adventure and Supernatural Suspense Hour") is a live audio theater production in the style of old time radio. The show has run monthly since 2005, when it was performed at M Bar in Hollywood until 2010, after which the production was moved to the Largo, a theater also in Hollywood. Starting in 2011, past segments were distributed as a podcast (except for the M Bar versions, which have not been made available to the public). In 2015, the monthly live shows were closed and the podcasts ended, though the makers of the show have also made a live show DVD and a number of graphic novels based on the podcast, including an anthology published by Archaia and two limited series published by Image Comics. However, in 2016, some podcast episodes of the live shows were released continuing the series after the Series Fauxnale of some of the segments. New studio-recorded content and some previously unreleased material were released starting in October 2018, released under the new title: The Thrilling Adventure Hour Treasury.Regular segments include: | |

Secret Identity | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_112890b3 | comment |
Secret Identity: Captain Laserbeam has offered more than one Suspiciously Specific Denial when asked about his. One of his Adventurekateers admits that she's up-and-coming superhero Attagirl, but Captain Laserbeam wasn't paying attention. Even though that confession was one of his non-sequitur flashbacks later in the episode. Dana's father is secretly Mr. Marvelous, The Top Notch Man. | |

| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_1195fbb6 | comment |
Solar System Neighbors: A featured segment is "Sparks Nevada: Marshal on Mars", which is a Space Cowboy adventure featuring the eponymous marshal and his Tonto-esque native Martian (or "Marjun") companion Croach the Tracker, who proudly declares himself to be from G'loot Praktaw, "Which you designate Mars". Also in this series, Jupiter is home to a race of Voluntary Shapeshifting aliens who ostensibly act as spies, but mostly just act as a nuisance. | |

Card-Carrying Villain: The Diebrarian in "Book, Line, and Sinker." His henchman Papercut and Captain Laserbeam do everything they can to keep the Diebrarian from realizing that his evil plan to force books upon school libraries is a good thing because he's convinced it's a great diabolical scheme and will stop if he figures that out. | |

In "Carbonite-mare", in a parody of Return of the Jedi's Jabba's Palace sequence, the Red Plains Rider visits a planet of fly and spider people that has been taken over by scum and villainy. In other words, a Wretched Hive. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Defied. Banjo Bindlestuff (aka the incredibly wealthy Jasper Moneylodge) has more than enough money and influence to solve every problem that comes his way, but actually using his money and connections would sabotage his chances at locating his love, the Hobo Princess. Thus, each episode revolves around him trying to solve problems "the hobo way," using ingenuity to avoid this trope as much as possible. | |

Promotion to Opening Titles: In the opening for "Cosmic Sans", the Barkeep, Ginny West and the Saloon Bar Doors are all included in the opening credits. Sparks Nevada is surprised by it: In general, the characters introduced with Sparks Nevada can fluctuate. Depending on the point in the overall story, Croach may not be present in the titles, and Sparks is introduced along with Mercury, the Barkeep, Rebecca Rose Rushmore, the Red Plains Rider, Pemily Stalwark, or Ginny West. | |

Overly Specific Afterlife: In the Beyond Belief episode "The Haunting of Howard Schroeder", Frank explains that Heaven and Hell are based on the ideas of Heaven and Hell. Heavens exist anywhere ghosts think they have been good and deserve a reward, and Hells exist anyplace ghosts feel they deserve punishment. There are, as a result, several winning Heavens in the Hamptons, and there are more Hells than one can count; all of New Jersey for example. | |

Good Thing You Can Heal | |

Good Thing You Can Heal: Croach's "na'notek" is able to heal him from some incredibly serious injuries. The first episode alone has him getting turned inside out, and he's been shot numerous times. In "Moonfaker", he's considered the ideal choice for a potential suicide mission because of how hard to kill he is. In "Wild, Wild, Quest" the first indication that the Red Plains Rider has na'notek is due to suffering a gunshot wound to the stomach. | |

A scene showing off the villain of the episode with his or her henchmen, followed by Captain Laserbeam's arrival, subsequent placement into a deathtrap, freeing himself with the memory of the Adventurekateers, and apprehending his foes. | |

Along the way, they encounter perils and highwaymen fought off by the heroes. In the end, it turns out that while all of the dangers were set up by two of the businessmen to kill off the other two and keep the profits for himself, the third figured that he would eliminate the others and keep the profits for himself by hiring a lawman who could arrest the other two when it came out that they tried to make attempts on his life. | |

Strictly Formula: The majority of episodes follow a pattern of various Once an Episode of moments. Starting with Captain Laserbeam at a charity function, he's called by the Adventurekateers, where he makes three unsuccessful guesses as to which villain is causing trouble in Apex City, discussing possible superhero teamups and declaring it's to dangerous for the Adventurekateers to be with him other than in spirit. A scene showing off the villain of the episode with his or her henchmen, followed by Captain Laserbeam's arrival, subsequent placement into a deathtrap, freeing himself with the memory of the Adventurekateers, and apprehending his foes. The episode "Circle Gets the Square" subverted just about every step of the formula. Captain Laserbeam fakes the Adventurekateer distress call to get away from the Righteous Brothers, Captain Laserbeam successfully guesses the villain of the week on the third try, the Adventurekateers are blase about something happening to Captain Laserbeam, which makes their memory less than helpful when Captain Laserbeam is caught in the deathtrap, which he escapes only with the intervention of the Righteous Brothers. The introduction of Phillip Fathom added some variety in the formula, most often in the form of Phillip being the one to rescue Captain Laserbeam from the death trap or having him involved in the opening scenes or the Adventurekateer dialogue. | |

In the episode "Sheriff on Mars", Croach shows up at a quickdraw contest posing as "Charles the Human" wearing a huge 10-gallon hat with his antenna sticking out of it, a bandana to mask his face and a big burlap poncho to disguise himself. It convinces no-one, but they play along for the hell of it. | |

Happy Ending Override: In the first episode of the new series of podcasts, "That's No Honeymoon", Sparks and Ginny go on their honeymoon, but because Ginny called him "my buddy" during their wedding ceremony, he fears that she is really Jib Janeen, the Jupiter spy, in disguise since that's his catchphrase. Ultimately, it's double subverted; while the episode and Sparks' declaration of love for her (not to mention the fact that Ginny doesn't speak with Jib Janeen's campy mannerisms) obviously set him up to be wrong, Ginny, or whoever she is, admits to being a Jupiter spy. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: Sparks Nevada is completely dismissive of Native Martian culture, and must constantly remind everyone that he's... from Earth. Rebecca Rushmore despises Martians and claims that just hearing them talk gives her the shivers. Even when Croach saves her life by jumping in front of a blast that could have killed her, she wants to take a bath because Croach was too close. Croach clearly does not think highly of humans either, taking many opportunities to point out how physically and mentally inferior humans are to Martians, and how shameful it would be for his behavior to be seen as resembling that of humans. Mercy Laredo has a spectacular hatred of robots to the point of not being able to stop herself from shooting them on sight. Even the bounty hunters' guild, for which she works, has an official policy which allows up to three civilian casualties in the field, but are fine with that number being exceeded if they are non-humans. They are even fine with robots being used for target practice. Chicky Sullivan, Cactoid Jim's PR agent, claims to be the subject of prejudice on account of being a cyborg. Everyone except Jupiterans (people from Jupiter) seem to be pretty bigoted against Jupiterans, who are pretty well known for their cunning ability to replace others. The writers and performers also admit that they feel that their writing has a real life anti-Jupiteran feel. Jib shows this goes both ways when he claims that it would be a disgrace for his people if they let "mongrel genes" into the race. One episode revealed that Felton considers clones to be sub-human. The human characters call the Martian natives Marjuns, a portmanteau of Mars and Injun. Also, Jupiterians are sometimes called "Jupes". | |

Alternate Reality Episode | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_5b973520 | comment |
Alternate Reality Episode: "Beyond Belief" has had two of these so far. The first is "Art Imitates Life", where Sadie is engaged, not married, to a man named Basil Valentine. They are still well-known socialites, but are also skilled art thieves. Also, Sadie hasn't touched liquor in years. In that case, the change was caused by one of Sadie's old suitors, who found a genie in a bottle and had him erase Frank from history so he could be with Sadie. Unfortunately, he failed to mention that last part as part of his wish, so Sadie met Basil instead. The other is "Werewolf of Wall Street", where Frank and Sadie's apartment is inhabited by Wade Crespo, really the Doyles' usual liquor delivery man, and his wife Audrey. Together, they also drink lots of booze, hunt the paranormal, banter and have catchphrases of their own. Except they have neither the Doyles' knowledge of the paranormal nor their wit. Meanwhile, Frank works as their liquor delivery man and Sadie works as his supervisor. In that case, the change was caused by Crespo, who stole a book containing the story The Monkey's Paw, which he used to wish for the Doyles' life and for Audrey, who is really a waitress at a café he often goes to, to be his wife. | |

Space Jews: They lampshade this trope with the martians. They celebrate a holiday called Han-oo'Kah and their rite of passage for younglings is named B'at-mit zvah for females and B'ar-mit zvah for men. Interstingly, they also invert this trope. Commander Gene Peeples has none of the stereotypes associated with Jews, but when Pemily Stallwark wants to give him a gift for space-Christmas, he replies that he is space-Jewish. She then offers it as a gift for space-Hanukkah instead and he accepts. | |

Jackass Genie: Subverted- when a djinn tries to pull this on Frank and Sadie by giving them "more liquor than they could ever drink," they simply take it as a challenge. In fact, his inability to properly invoke this trope earns him a genie version of Alec Baldwin's speech from Glengarry Glen Ross. | |

Superman Stays Out of Gotham: Averted and played straight. While most episodes with Phillip Fathom are about him teaming up with Captain Laserbeam in Apex City, Captain Laserbeam never joins Fathom in his own segment's stories in Aquapolis. Also played straight in the sense that there are other superheroes in the "Captain Laserbeam" universe, such as the Halluci-Nation and the Italian Batallion, whose work never intersects with that of Captain Laserbeam or Phillip Fathom. | |

Calacas: In "Ladies and Skeleton", a segment of the "A Halloween Beyond Belief" episode, Frank and Sadie confront a Calaca, described here as a monster that kills via Involuntary Dance. In the past, it killed and has since enslaved the spirit of Frank's first love. His victim gets away and, when it appears to take her back, speaks with a stereotypical accent with rattling noises in the background to suggest the bones. The Calaca can only be killed by a silver bullet. Frank utilizes a previous episode's Chekhov's Gun, literally the gun wielded by famed playwright and werewolf hunter Anton Chekhov, to dispatch it. | |

When the Doyles are introduced to them via dreams, they all turn out to be quite nice people who helped the writer in many ways throughout his life. It ultimately turns out that the writer's memories of them were corrupted by memories of his mean-spirited mentor. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In "Wild, Wild Quest", the Red Plains Rider does her Hero's Quest through a forest filled with dangers. Unfortunately, Sparks keeps accidentally beating the challenges she is faced with before she gets the chance - starting with him shooting and killing the guardian meant to guide her. It gets harder to be mad at him for the later ones he finishes, like scaring off a small swarm of attack nanites by waving his hat at them (really, that was a challenge) and getting a raptor to fly away by putting his hands in his pockets so he wouldn't shoot it and in doing so performing the gesture that scared it away. | |

Shared Universe: Even though the segments are set in different times and places, the episode "Time and Time Again" showed that Amelia Earhart and Colonel Tick-Tock take place in different points within the same timeline, while Beyond Belief and Captain Laserbeam take place in different universes.

Stepford Smiler: Dan Bucatino gradually becomes this over the course of his ads. When they begin, he's advertising his office supply business and talking about his family before getting interrupted by the King of Coffee. As the ads progress, Dan's life takes several turns for the worse: he has a "health scare", his wife leaves him after cheating on him, his brother/business partner goes on a cruise with his wife. And yet, he and his family continue to put on the display of happiness. | |

He spends a few more episodes talking, until Croach returns to Sparks' life and Mercury, jealous, pretends to be unable to talk again. | |

Story-Breaker Power | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_8712e4c9 | comment |
Story-Breaker Power: Averted with the Force Galactic, which grants its wielder more or less omnipotence. The Barkeep has it much of the series, but since his wife forbids him from using it in his place, Sparks Nevada or the others usually fix the situation without his help. That said, he does sometimes bend the rules a bit, such as by using the powers outside his place and on other, far away planets. On one occasion he breaks the rule altogether by bringing Felton back to life after he had been killed, asking everyone present not to tell his wife. | |

Hero vs. Villain Duet | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_8adccc77 | comment |
Hero vs. Villain Duet: In "The Piano Has Been Thinking", the various residents of Mars have begun to spontaneously break out into song. One of the songs that occurs from this is "I'm Gonna Kill You Someday", a duet between Sparks Nevada and Techs, the robot bandit that ururpsed his position as Marshal on Mars. The two sing about how one of them is going to kill the other and when and where it'll happen. Because the two are in two completely different places as this happens, Sparks's girlfriend Rebecca Rose Rushmore can only note that not only did Sparks just randomly burst into song, he also randomly burst into exactly one half of a song. | |

| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_8c23b321 | comment |
Harmless Villain: Captain Laserbeam has a lot of enemies whose quirks get in the way of their own plans, but of all of the ones who have been revealed, Shape Ape stands out as particularly incompetent. Apart from his using death traps on Captain Laserbeam, the only crimes he ever commits on his own initiative seem to be geometry-themed acts of vandalism, such as changing the shape of a town square. In "Three Sides to Every Story", he steals Phillip Fathom's hideout, but only because he wanted the triangular body of water under it. As a result, his usual rent-a-henchman Tyler is usually the driving force of his operations. | |

Casual Kink: The Doyles seem to have a pretty steamy sex life together (strictly off-camera). In the episode "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang You're Dead", a pair of mechanics are amazed that Frank and Sadie managed to avoid getting possessed by a demonic car they had borrowed after a party. During a parody of The Exorcist, Frank and Sadie tie the girl to their bed to keep her demon from hurting anyone: In the episode "Gory Gory Hallelujah", they talk about the first time they went to an auction: In the episode "Stabbin' in the Woods", where the Doyles have been captured by a crazed killer and locked into a meat locker. | |

Peter Pan Parody | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_9665f879 | comment |
Peter Pan Parody: "Second Star to the Wrong" pits Frank and Sadie against the Pan. He's a little boy with the bottom half of a goat like the Pan from Greek mythology. Further, while he has the whimsical personality of Peter, the Pan has an unusual fixation on eating peoples' hands, bragging he once ate a pirate's hand, who blamed it on a crocodile. He also maintains his eternal youth by leeching it from the children he takes. Possessing the Pan's shadow can give one some of the Pan's powers as well as power over the Pan himself, and the strength his own power to cloud the minds of others can fluctuate depending on if he's being applauded or booed. When the Doyles have the upper hand he tries to get everyone to applaud, prompting Frank to admonish the audience when they momentarily go along with it and then proceed to boo the Pan into submission. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: The episode "Sheriff on Mars" introduced "automatons", basically robots, except without anything that can be considered sentience.

Also is brought up in "Mutiny on the Bounty Hunter", where it's explained that licensed bounty hunters get as many as three civilian human kills in collateral damage as part of the job. The number is higher if the kills are Martian or robot. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: In the episode "Lights, Camera, Murder!", when an actor is revealed to have been effectively outed after being seen at a social club for "bachelors" by a gossip wrangler, the other characters seem not only completely fine with it ("You'd think something like that wouldn't matter; after all, it's the 40's!"), but the reveal actually pushed his career towards more roles as Roman emperors and doting fathers, with which he is more comfortable. Needless to say, being outed as gay would probably have been a career killer during the real-life 1940s. | |

The Missus and the Ex: Refreshingly averted. When Frank and Sadie meet Frank's previously dead ex, Catherine in 'Ladies and Skeleton', rather than being jealous, Sadie is nothing but polite. At the end of the episode, when Catherine worries that being forgotten by Frank will mean she fades from memory (and therefore existence), it's Sadie who reassures her that because she made Frank the man Sadie loves, she will always remember her. It's just more affirmation of the strength of Frank and Sadie's relationship. Not once does she voice any concern about Frank's feelings for Catherine, because she knows he loves her completely. | |

Unsound Effect | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_afe75982 | comment |
Unsound Effect: Occasionally subverted if the Foley Artist misses a mark for an actual sound effect, and the performers either point out the silence or fill in the sound effect themselves by just saying the word. The Doyles do it the most. Very early instances, still mostly by the Doyles, were likely intended jokes since they were making fun of radio tropes. Specifically, they reference an episode of The Shadow where the actor states his action of opening a door, which was followed by foley of a door opening. | |

Incapable of Disobeying | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_b26001e6 | comment |
Incapable of Disobeying: "How to Spell Revenge" features Frank and Sadie venturing to the home of a witch who puts the Doyles into her thrall by getting them to eat a cursed apple that makes them obey her every command. When she commands them to stand, they declare they'll do no such thing only to immediately notice that they've done exactly that. The spell does have limits, in that it can't make Frank or Sadie do anything they would not otherwise do. So, for example, they can't be ordered to do something they know will result in their deaths like walk into the witch's oven. They can, however, be ordered to curse an apple with a domination spell that will make them obey even those commands. When the witch does this, however, her instructions are open ended enough that the Doyles are able to Reverse the Polarity on the spell and make the witch and her cohorts obedient to them, at which point Frank orders them to go into the oven and stay there until they stop wanting revenge. | |

What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: In-Universe in the episode "Scream A Little Scream." Sadie refers to childrens' books written by one of the characters in the episode, which include life or death candy trials and a boy who was "French fried from the inside," prompting Frank to ask if these books were really for children. | |

FanFiction | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_c2475826 | comment |
Fan Fiction: An in-universe example is the Barkeep, who, after getting reality-warping space powers, reveals in "Cosmic Sans" that, while taking breaks from working on his novel, he likes to create alternate universes based on Sparks Nevada and the others and write what happens in them. While it's never explicitly called fanfiction, the settings he mentions using are fanfic staples, such as ones where they've made different choices, ones where they have different genders or different preferences, and one where they are teenagers in high school together. | |

God Is Flawed | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_c391447c | comment |
God Is Flawed: The African gods in "White Hunter, Drunk Heart". While they are capable of controlling their own aspects of nature, their powers are only effective against the really superstitious. Age, God of the Beasts, is the one who can really freak out the natives. Unfortunately, he is the one who comes up with the brilliant idea to spook Frank and Sadie, who are on a hunting trip, by appearing to them in the form of a giant lion. Arebati, God of the Sky, can only summon slightly strong gusts of wind. On top of that, he takes huge offense when someone thinks they can "chump" him. The powers of Tano, God over the River, are limited to just that: the river. When he starts raging it to attack Frank and Sadie, they manage to avoid it entirely by simply staying out of the river. Berra Penu, God over the Jungle, uses his powers to make trees shake. While it apparently has the locals quivering in terror, Frank and Sadie regularly hunt ghosts and demons. | |

Fallen Hero | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_c6655b23 | comment |
Fallen Hero: Tinker Taylor, in the Captain Laserbeam episode "Tinker Taylor and Tyler Too". He is a former Adventurekateer (the first one, in fact) but left them and became a villain when his ego got the better of him. A more downplayed example is Tyler, a recurring henchman to several villains who was also an Adventurekateer, though he is a pure Punchclock Villain and not the revenge-craving, egotistical Manchild Tinker Taylor is. | |

Informed Ability: Played for Laughs. Jib Janeen, the Jupiter Spy, is apparently so good at his job that no other character can tell when he's impersonating someone. He's objectively terrible at it: he doesn't display any special knowledge that would help him blend in, he acts completely out of character of the person he's pretending to be, and doesn't even bother to disguise his voice. But everyone is always fooled. | |

The first is "Art Imitates Life", where Sadie is engaged, not married, to a man named Basil Valentine. They are still well-known socialites, but are also skilled art thieves. Also, Sadie hasn't touched liquor in years. In that case, the change was caused by one of Sadie's old suitors, who found a genie in a bottle and had him erase Frank from history so he could be with Sadie. Unfortunately, he failed to mention that last part as part of his wish, so Sadie met Basil instead. | |

| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_d240ffa | comment |
Jefferson Reid, together with his Kid Sidekick Brownie Finn, bear a remarkable similarity to Golden Age Captain America and Bucky Barnes, not just as patriotic figures, but also with regard to their plot. Just like Barnes fought with the Captain until his supposed death during a mission, Finn is killed saving Jefferson fighting Nazis and buried. But later (spoilers for parts of the comic lore and MCU follow), he is resurrected by the Nazis and brainwashed into working for them, similar to how Bucky became the Winter Soldier in both the comics and the second Captain America movie. | |

Punch-Clock Hero: The Troubleshooter is always happy to save the day when some technological software goes haywire and threatens Sparks Nevada, but never bothers helping out in other life-threatening situations and even leaves Nevada and his friends stranded on one occasion. Croach has some shades of this, since he only aids Sparks Nevada (or whoever else he feels he owes one) in his quests to alleviate his or his tribe's onus to him. Once he considers it paid, he usually wants to leave. In the Thrilling Adventure Hour - Welcome to Night Vale crossover, however, it's suggested that he wants to be under onus to Nevada so they can stay together. This is ultimately confirmed in the segment finale, "Marshal on Mars", where Croach tells Sparks Nevada that his tribe's onus to him ended five "cycles" ago and he has just been helping Sparks since then because he cares for him as a friend. | |

Whole-Plot Reference: The segment, as suggested by its title, is a parody of War of the Worlds, in that both involve alien invasions of Earth that almost end with the aliens' victory and is stopped by something really small and simple that existed on Earth the whole time. In War of the Worlds, it was germs. In "A War of Two Worlds", it's nuts. | |

Expy | |
| The Thrilling Adventure Hour (Podcast) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: The Algonquin Four (Dorothy Parker, Harry Houdini, Woodrow Wilson and Robert Benchley) are an obvious parody of The Fantastic Four, having similar superpowers. Dorothy Parker doubles as a parody of both The Thing and The Incredible Hulk. K of the Cosmos seems to be based on Mr. Mxyzplk of the DC Comics universe with a bit of Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation and onwards, in the sense that he, like both of them, is a Trickster God with reality warping powers who messes with the heroes. More specifically, he is like Q in the sense that both have a single letter for a name, and like Mr. Mxyzptlk in the sense that they both can be defeated by making them say something specific. Mr. Mxyzptlk is defeated by making him say his name backwards and K can be de-powered by getting him to reveal something embarrassing about himself. | |

Tricking the Shapeshifter | |

Tricking the Shapeshifter: "Wishing Hell": Nightmares the Clown's attempts to frighten Sadie fall short because she finds him hilarious. He decides to show her his true form, that of a giant spider. Frank exclaims that Sadie is deathly afraid of spiders, only for Sadie to correct him and point out giant spiders don't scare her, only regular teeny tiny spiders due to how they can creep up on one when they're going through their liquor cabinet, innocently trying to collect a bottle. She pleads with Nightmares not to turn into a teeny tiny spider lest she actually become afraid. Nightmares does exactly that, and promptly gets stomped on by Frank. "When Cthulu Cthalls": Frank and Sadie are up against a pair of Hollywood Jehovah's Witness peddling a particularly old god. When said old god makes an appearance, it has a loss of confidence due to its age. Sadie convinces it to possess a nearby lamp, which she then turns off and unplugs. | |

Expendable Alternate Universe: Defied in the "Crisis on Infinite Marses" episodes. Ezra Seldom rationalizes his plan to replace the alternate universes created by the Barkeep with a single better one by arguing that they never really existed and are irrelevant to the prime universe. Sparks Nevada sets him straight on it, though, by reminding him that the male version of the Red Plains Rider, his daughter, is as dear to him as the original one is. | |

Werewolves, for example, still infect others by biting and only change at the full moon, leaving them normal the rest of the time. Unlike normal werewolves, however, it takes more than a silver bullet to kill them. In fact, it takes a silver bullet, a gold bullet, a platinum bullet and a diamond bullet, fired in that order. Since it costs plenty and werewolves are normal most of the time, most people just don't bother. | |
