Last month, Scott and Tracey Morris left Disney, Indiana for a monster-filled weekend at the Historic Artcraft Theatre in Franklin, Indiana. The event? Monster Mania. The movies? The Invisible Man (dir. James Whale), The Mummy (dir. Karl Freund), Frankenstein (dir. James Whale), and Creature from the Black Lagoon (dir. Jack Arnold). The host of this podcast? EXTREMELY jealous. Most of these movies were movies neither Scott nor Tracey had seen before seeing them at the Artcraft, and in Part Two of their Monster Mania debrief, they'll share their first time thoughts about these films and they even put up with Derek gushing about Creature...! Also, 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.

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.

I Walked with a Zombie (dir. Jacques Tourneur). Remakes. Blaxploitation films. Sound and soundtracks. The effectiveness of black-and-white film on a silver screen. Wes Craven. George A. Romero. And Paul McComas' award-winning books. All these topics (and more!) will get at least a mention on this episode of Monster Kid Radio! Paul and Derek continue to talk about I Walked with a Zombie, and using this incredible film as a starting off point, their discussion takes an informative, winding trainride through all the topics mentioned above!

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.

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. Stephen D.

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.
