HERE"S A LITTLE ABOUT THE GOOD PROFESSOR DIRECTLY
FROM HIS PRESSBOOK:
Prof. Anton Griffin is a facinating, compelling and interesting character. With his pale complexion, black frock coat, sharp nails, and dark antique spectacles, he makes quite a presence. He hints that he is undead, but there is NO proof of that. He graduated from Dark Pillars University in Ingolstadt, and began exhibiting his Circus of Horrors all through Europe. (His Circus was closed down after one of the patrons got trapped in the Vampyre's lair during feeding time!)
He is not above going through a hair-brained scheme to make money (he is after all a showman) but enjoys nothing more than bringing chills and thrills from all around the world to his Midnight Shadow Show- an old dilapitated mansion, part house, part circus tent.
He has an impressive collection of props and costumes, and horror movie memorabilia and is available for anniversaries, weddings, and funerals.
