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.

Monster Kid Radio #400 - Scream of the Wolf with Larry Underwood and Reflecting on 400 Episodes of MKR
Dancember continues on Monster Kid Radio, and we're howling about Scream of the Wolf (dir. Dan Curtis) with Larry Underwood. Who's Larry Underwood? You might know him as the horror host Dr. Gangrene, and he's one of Monster Kid Radio's oldest friends. Also, this week Jeff checks in with another Weird Wednesday Report from the Joy Cinema, and Kenny hits us with another look at Famous Monsters of Filmland. Several previous guests of Monster Kid Radio drop by to share their favorite MKR memories, Derek looks at the previous 400 episodes and looks forward to the future, and Brenda puts up with him!

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.

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!

Call it The Hand of Night, or call it Beast of Morocco (dir. Frederic Goode).

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 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).

René Cardona's 1969 film Santo and Dracula's Treasure, or Santo en El tesoro de Drácula, is the movie on deck this week, but Derek isn't going to tackle this movie alone. He's joined by the man behind Dr. Tongue's - Mark Pedersen. Mark is a toy collector and toy shop owner, and he loves his luchador monster movies as much as, if not more, than Derek, and you're going to hear all about it in this week's episode of Monster Kid Radio. Along the way, Mark plays a round of the Classic Five, he and Derek discover they have another mutual sub-genre-specific love, and Derek reveals the one place he keeps his vinyl monster toys.

Call it Los campeones justicieros. Call it The Champions of Justice. Whatever you call Federico Curiel's film, just make sure you call it a fun time, because that's what you'll hear in this week's episode of Monster Kid Radio. Author Frank Schildiner returns to the show to kick off 2018's Lucha de Mayo as he and Derek talk about this idea to bring together a group of remarkable people, to see if they could become something more, to see if they could work together when we needed them to to fight the battles we never could. In this case, we need an assembled force of luchadors to fight the evil Dr. Marius Zarkoff in this 1971 film obviously set in a shared cinematic universe. Along the way, Derek (gently) picks Frank's brain about how he researches the period-specific details for his books, they play the Classic Five, and for some reason, 1979's The Frisco Kid (dir. Robert Aldrich) comes up. Also, we have another installment of Michael Dodd's Vault of Monster Collectibles, and listener feedback with Brenda.

For the past several weeks, Derek's been talking about the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards here on Monster Kid Radio, and this week, he's joined by the man that started it all - David Colton.

Also, Monster Kid Radio's 200 Years of Frankenstein continues as Derek discovers a short French film from 1952 featuring the Frankenstei . . . er . . . Frankensberg monster.

Monster Kid Radio #355 - King Kong, Vampyr, and a Bad Ritual with Dominique Lamssies and Chris McMillan
We've got a bit of a looser episode of Monster Kid Radio this week. Bride of Frankenstein (dir. James Whale) played at the Kiggins Theatre (Vancouver, WA) earlier this month, and Chris McMillan from The Shadow Over Portland (http://shadowoverportland.blogspot.com/) joined Derek for the film. Last weekend, Portland's NW Film Center showed the original King Kong (dir. Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack) and Vampyr (dir. Carl Theodor Dreyer), and Chris was along for the ride again. And as an added bonus, Dominique Lamssies helped guide Derek through his first-time viewing of the 1932 vampire film. Dominique also provides a reading of her short story "Bad Ritual." All this, plus FEEDBACK.

The Forgotten Horrors series of books are MUST-HAVE books for any self-respecting Monster Kid, and this week on Monster Kid Radio, one of the men behind this long-running series - Michael H. Price - joins the show. He's not the only Michael dropping by, though. Michael Legge, also known as the horror host Dr. Dreck, is joining Derek this week on the podcast as well. We play the Classic Five. We talk about how we fell in love with the more obscure (dare we say, forgotten?) horror movies. And we also run through our Top Three Favorite Forgotten Horror Movies. Plus, we have Feedback, MKR's Year of Frankenstein continues, and there are two amazing movie screenings coming up that Monster Kid Radio will be CRASHING.

The man of mystery (literally) Dwight Kemper returns to Monster Kid Radio to talk about a 1965 gem of a film - Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster (dir. Robert Gaffney). This movie holds a special place in Dwight's heart, and with good reason. After we play a round of the Classic Five, he tells us all about it (so get your yogurt ready!). Plus, Feedback!

In mid-2017, author Stephen D. Sullivan joined Derek for a conversation about an underrated and under-served Karloff-Lee-Steele film. This is that recording. But not only do you get a conversation between Steve and Derek about 1968's Curse of the Crimson Altar (dir. Vernon Sewell), you'll get some insight about the kinds of movies they truly love watching, what kinds of expectations they bring to the table when they watch a classic (or not-so-classic) film, and what mid-80s slasher movie made a HUGE impact on Derek back in the day. Also, Derek talks a bit about Patreon, we have listener Feedback, and the Year of Frankenstein begins here on Episode #351 of Monster Kid Radio. And what's this about YouTube?
