There's been a slight change of plans for this episode of Monster Kid Radio, but it involves Lon Chaney, Jr., so it's all right, right? RIGHT? Face of the Screaming Werewolf (dir. Jerry Warren, Gilberto Martínez Solares, Rafael Portillo) was playing at the Joy Cinema, and there was no way Derek was going to miss this particular Weird Wednesday! Derek introduced the film, and Scott Morris and David Heath (and a few other audience members) joined him after the movie to discuss the glorious assemblage of sounds and images they just watched. And keep listening - near the end of this special episode, Derek tells you what you can expect for the rest of Dancember.

Earlier this year, Monster Kid Radio asked you to participate in a poll and tell us what your favorite Frankenstein films are, as well as what you consider to be the "best" Frankenstein films. This week on the podcast, Steve Turek joins Derek to go over the results of that poll. Some of our favorites made the cut, and some selections surprised us. Also, Ken joins the Frankenstein fun with his Famous Monsters of Filmland segment, and Brenda (and Wednesday) help with the Listener Feedback.

When thinking about Dracula films, it's hard not to think about Horror of Dracula (dir. Terence Fisher), the Hammer Films Production that showed the world that Bela Lugosi wasn't the only man fit to wear the count's cape. Last month, Derek had the opportunity to see this film on the big screen, and he wanted to keep those Dracula-dreams going so he invited Steven Lee (no relation to Christopher) to Monster Kid Radio to discuss it. Ken tells us how Horror of Dracula was represented in Famous Monsters of Filmland Magazine, and to round the show out, Brenda helps with Listener Feedback.

Christopher Page (Orphaned Entertainment and the Time Shifters Podcast) gets down with Bela Lugosi this week when he and Derek experience a Night of Terror (Benjamin Stoloff). How much Lugosi is needed for a movie to be considered a Lugosi film? Find out in this episode. Kenny's Famous Monsters of Filmland segment tells us how Lugosi was represented in the famous magazine, and the editor of that magazine - Forrest J Ackerman - appeared in the movie Derek saw at the Joy Cinema on Weird Wednesday. He and Jeff Polier saw and talk about the 1971 classic Dracula vs. Frankenstein (dir. Al Adamson).

Put on your diving suit and get start the miniaturization process because this week on Monster Kid Radio, Scott Morris joins Derek to discuss the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage (dir. Richard Fleischer). The movie has some Disney connections, and since Scott is one of the high muckety mucks at Disney, Indiana, he brings some of that Mickey Mouse knowledge to the proceedings. Ken Blose's Famous Monsters of Filmland segment tells us how Fantastic Voyage was represented in the magazine, and Jeff Polier's Weird Wednesday report tells us what he thought of a recent offering at the Joy Cinema.

A new voice on the podcast this week to talk about one of Derek's old favorites - 1965's The Beach Girls and the Monster (dir. Jon Hall). Karen Joan Kohoutek is this week's guest, and after she and Derek try their best to contain their gushing about Robert E. Howard, they get down to business and explore the film. Also, even though Halloween 2018 is behind us, Derek and Karen keep the Halloween spirit alive by talking about her novel The Jack-o-Lantern Box. Kenny's Famous Monsters of Filmland segment and Feedback with Brenda round out this week's episode.

Have you seen The Vampire Bat (dir. Frank R. Strayer)? If not, Paul Curtis may convince you to put it right at the top of your To Watch list! And if you have, you already know what Derek knows - it's a solid film! This week, Paul and Derek break down what could very well be considered an unofficial Universal horror film (and you'll need to listen to their conversation to understand why we're calling it that!). And to round out our coverage of The Vampire Bat, Ken Blose tells us how the film was originally presented and covered in Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine. All this, plus Listener Feedback with Brenda! Let's do this!
