Last month, Scott and Tracey Morris (the high high-muckety-mucks of Disney, Indiana and returning guests to Monster Kid Radio) went to the Artcraft Theater's Monster Mania event in Franklin, Indiana. The 2-day event featured 35mm print screenings of six classic Universal monster films, and most of these films were first time viewings for Scott and Tracey. In Part One of their Monster Mania debrief, they tell Derek about the Artcraft and the two movies they watched on Day One of the event - Dracula (dir. Tod Browning) and The Wolf Man (dir. George Waggner). Also in this week's episode, Derek reminds listeners how they can enter the drawing for the original sculpt of the Island of Terror silicates created and donated by previous Monster Kid Radio guest Tom Biegler. (And don't forget our 50-Review Challenge!)

He's back on Monster Kid Radio, and this time, he brought a zombie with him . . . or did he? Author Paul McComas (Fit for a Frankenstein, Planet of the Dates, Unforgettable: Harrowing Futures, Horrors, & (Dark) Humor) joins Derek to talk about the Val Lewton 1943 classic I Walked with a Zombie (dir. Jacques Tourneur). Derek's background as a former zombie movie podcaster has brought him in contact with this movie before, and Paul's love of voodoo films has made I Walked with a Zombie a mainstay in their DVD players, and in Part One of their chat about the film, you'll find out why.

Monster Kid's Radio discussion with author Stephen D. Sullivan continues in this episode of Monster Kid Radio.

(Seriously, folks - it's a great read!) Also, remember the contest for the original Island of Terror diorama by frequent Monster Kid Radio guest Tom Biegler.

Quick! What was the first zombie film? And did you know it starred the man most known for being a vampire? This week, Derek welcomes Stephen D. Sullivan back to Monster Kid Radio to talk about his latest book - a novelization of the original zombie movie White Zombie. In Part One of our discussion with Steve, we talk about his background as a writer of novelizations, and how he came to the decision to tackle adapting this important film. Also, remember the contest for the original Island of Terror diorama by frequent Monster Kid Radio guest Tom Biegler.

We return to the Island of Terror (dir. Terence Fisher) with guest Tom Biegler for Part Two of our discussion of this British sci-fi horror . . . can we call it a classic? Yes, I think we can! In addition to concluding our talk about the film, Tom also shares more about his artistic process, and we announe a new contest in which YOU can win an original diorama featuring the silicates from Island of Terror (thanks, Tom, for creating and donating this one-of-a-kind sculpture!). We go over a Facebook message, and Derek makes sure all us monster kids know about some new projects from previous guests on the show.

Monster kid and sculptor Tom Biegler returns to Monster Kid Radio this week, and he's bringing a couple of silicates with him! (That's his sculpture in the episode image!) Before Monster Kid Radio was launched, Tom showed Derek a movie called Island of Terror (dir. Terence Fisher), and that movie quickly became one of Derek's favorite non-Hammer Peter Cushing films. Tom not only introduced Derek to this amazing movie, but he's also about to share another amazing piece of original art with one lucky Monster Kid Radio listener! That's his diorama sculpt in the episode image this time around.

Happy Halloween! In this episode, we have some feedback, and Derek owns up to having a couple of classic monster movies in his collection that he probably should have seen by now!

It's the week of Halloween, and while Derek will definitely spend some time watching monster movies, he's also going to local haunts. Last Sunday night, he went to one of Portland's premiere haunted house attractions - FrightTown! Derek didn't want to tackle this three-attractions-in-one alone, so he met with a group to take on the scares served up by Baron Von Goolo and company! (Special thanks to Ray and Tom!)

Jackey Raye Neyman Jones returns to Monster Kid Radio for Part Two of our chat with her about all things Manos: The Hands of Fate (dir. Harold P. Warren). In this part of the interview, Jackey and Derek talk about her memories of John Reynolds, and how Manos... provided not just laughter, but healing over the years. After we get back from Valley Lodge, Derek heads to the Joy Cinema to introduce The Giant Spider (dir. Christopher R. Mihm) for the film's Pacific Northwest theatrical premiere!
