Doctor Gasp
OGUNQUIT — Doctor Gasp’s “17th Annual Halloween Special” and EP release party will be held at 7 p.m. WednesdaY, Oct. 2 at the Leavitt Theatre in Ogunquit prior to the 8 p.m. showing of the film “The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.”
Do you distaste the flavor of wax lips? Throat sore from cackling like a phantom? Well… don’t lose your head! Haunting can be daunting… and to be Frank; a pain in the neck! This season leave all the ghoulishness to that maniacal minstrel… Doctor Gasp!
Beneath the mask of this phantom is New England musician Dan Blakeslee with his unique bag of all original songs of Halloween oozing with vampires, Jack-O-Lanterns and ghastly creeps.
Blakeslee’s songs are a throwback to old-time cult horror themes, giving nods to Bobby Pickett (Monster Mash), Alfred Hitchcock, John Zacherle and the cavernous voice of Paul Frees.
Every October the unexpected spectacle Doctor Gasp rises from the shadows delivering an earful of eerie for the young, old …and immortal!
