Wizard: We have the knowledge, evil though it be, to twist the mind to any lunacy we wish. Through this Electro-Thought Machine, I'll demonstrate exactly what I mean. We'll take the means of mass communication, use them for commercial exploitation. Create the new 4-part phenomena: 4 simple minds with talent, little or none, and through the latest fad of rock and roll, conduct experiments in mind control! On an unsuspecting public they'll be turned! I'll brainwash them, and they'll brainwash the world!

And now, for the first time, we are bringing to you, the full story of what happened on that fateful day. We are bringing you all the evidence, based only on the secret testimony, of the miserable souls, who survived this terrifying ordeal. The incidents, the places.
