Not sure if this one is going to be made into a PDF yet, but its not half bad.
The premise is that Fenton Hardy has gone to Transylvania to catch some museum crooks but instead gets whacked when looking through Dracula's Castle. The Hardy's turn up in France along with Nancy Drew, who's looking for Fenton also.
There is a band called Circus which the boys join, to travel to a gig in Transylvania. Nancy and Bess go along with them.
Oh and did I say it's based on a TV show of the same name from the 70's. I should really watch it as Nancy posed for Playboy, back when it was at it's heights. For the ladies there is Shaun Cassidy and in this Elton John's producer, Bernie Taupin, which means there's going to be a terrible English accent. They've already tried to convince me that Eau De Cologne is rhyming slang for Phone. So will have to see if any more crimes against the English language are committed here.
Edit: Yes it did get made into a PDF. But time for some more elaboration.
There are two other stories here. The Hardy's going to an Amityville house of horrors repurposed as a diner and disco to track down a kid, whilst Fenton Hardy visits a graveyard. And the last story has the boys help a rockstar Tony Bird, to find his missing sound recordist.
They're not bad stories, and for once we actually know who wrote them. A few out of character arcs here. I never knew Joe had the appetite of Chet Morton here in the haunted house story but there you go. Also Callie Shaw seems to be the P.A. to Fenton Hardy in this rather than Frank's sometime girlfriend. I wonder if the old man is knocking her off as well as Frank, just a thought.
Anyway for reading averse people the Dracula story is here on Youtube. The other stories are probably there also, if I can be arsed to look.
