Zoltan Hound of Dracula
I have already alluded to the game of 'Garages' in a previous post(August 2009) that we all used to play down Studdon Walk/Laverock...However I remember one time in those days of long ago (1978) they released a brilliant film called'Zoltan Hound of Dracula' which was about a vampire dog called Zoltan...
Anyway, to get to the point, Zoltan's master (the ressurected vampire inkeeper, revived when the hound Zoltan pulls the stake from his heart with its paws) kept saying"Soon Zoltan, soon" in a like creepy eastern european type Dracula voice everytime the hound whined-
(It wanted blood you see...)
Now we liked this phrase (Soon Zoltan, soon) and adopted it especially after we went round to the garages to play 'garages' and found the like fur skin possibly of a squashed cat on the drain beside one of the garages-which we immediatly declared to be that of Zoltan Hound of Dracula!
So we kept saying this stupid bloody phrase(Soon Zoltan, soon) for months everytime we played the game at the garages while the remains of poor Zoltan dissipated and disappeared into nothingness over the sands of time...and kept saying it over subsequent years(the stupid bloody phrase) for no apparent reason to no-one in particular...
and indeed I still say this(Soon Zoltan, soon)when anyone asks me a question...eg:
Checkout Operator:would you like some help with your packing sir?
Ghost of Mensforth(creepy eastern european type Dracula voice):Soon Zoltan, soon...
ha ha ha!
