In the interest of sanity - I supply a more interesting story line - at the end of an episode where an anonymous old man is almost killed by werewolves and vampires - and patronised by the inhuman-ubermensch who rescue him... There was a public phone not far away. The old man put in a coin. He punched in a number he hadn't called for ages. "Tonto" he says " get out the silver and wood bullets..." regards steve
