Dr Drew, (Stalker Of The Unknown) is an ordinary American Doctor who fights against Satanists and witchcraft practitioners in the US, rather like Dennis Wheatley’s Duke De Richleau in the UK.
When a young newlywed bride is brought to a hotel while her husband looks for a hospital to take her to, a guest there, Dr Drew (a non-medical academic) notices that she is under a spell rather than ill. He uses a few incantations to free her troubled mind, and discovers that she has been given a cursed voodoo doll of herself by a jealous former lover.
Drew knows he can truly save the girl by forcing the villain to take back the doll, so a voodoo battle between good and evil ensues in a house full of devil dolls. Dr Drew wins, but he knows there are other evil-doers at large too.
Just one of Drew’s occult battles, fun, as a low-key precursor to Dr Strange.

@arthurchappell It sounds like it does. But it is what it is. I also notice as the years go by and the older I get, certain genres become popular again. Such like Star Trek and Zombies and things like that.

@inertia4 Star Trek never really fell out of popularity - the animated stories bridged the gap between the original series and the movies after which the franchise never really stopped

Well this is more what I like. Sound fascinating. Did you know that there is some kind of show the you can see on YouTube called Dr. Drew On Call. I suppose it has nothing to do with this.

@RasmaSandra definately not, the series was about a Dr really called Drew who had a political talk show until he was fired for making unsubstantiated claims about Hillary Clinton, which may have helped cripple her campaign against Trump
