Edgar August Poe continues when Larry Underwood (Dr. Gangrene) joins Derek to discuss one of the absolute best Corman Poe productions - 1962's Tales of Terror (dir. Roger Corman). Can Monster Kid Radio handle this much Vincent Price? We'll find out! Jeff Polier's Weird Wednesday Report and Michael Dodd's Vault of Monster Collectibles round out the show along with an appearance by Derek's wife Brenda when she joins him to review listener feedback.

Edgar August Poe kicks off with a film featuring one of the icons of classic horror - Dwight Frye - as well as a director who would probably never be caught dead, or undead, directing a monster movie but he did act in this one - Erich von Stroheim. It's 1935's The Crime of Dr. Crespi (dir. John H. Auer), and Derek has Michael Legge (aka Dr. Dreck) to thank for bringing this fun kinda-sorta-Poe-adaptation(?) into his life. Plus Jeff Polier's Weird Wednesday Report, and a new segment from Ken Blose about Famous Monsters of Filmland!

It's been a hot summer, and Derek is already looking forward to the cooler weather coming later this year. To help get into that cooler-weather-mood, Monster Kid Radio is celebrating Christmas in July with 1934's March of the Wooden Soldiers (dir. Gus Meins, Charley Rogers). Also known as Babes in Toyland, this Laurel & Hardy vehicle actually takes place in the month of July AND it does have monsters (technically), so when Steve Turek joins Derek to tackle this movie this week, it (technically) fits into the Monster Kid Radio wheelhouse (technically). Also, Jeff Polier has another Weird Wednesday Report, and Brenda reads the newest Michael Dodd's Vault of Monster Collectibles.

We've got a battleship of an episode for you this week on Monster Kid Radio! Jason Jaconetti (Bots, Bugs, and Babes) and Luke Jaconetti (Earth Destruction Directive) submit a recording of a round of the Classic Five game. Jeff Polier sends in a Weird Wednesday Report about How to Make a Monster (dir. Herbert L. Strock) from the Joy Cinema. Brenda covers Michael Dodd's Vault of Monster Collectibles.

1945's The Body Snatcher (dir. Robert Wise) is on deck this week on Monster Kid Radio, and Derek has two special guests watching his back this time around - author Jim Beard and podcaster Chris Franklin.
