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.

Lucha de Mayo comes to an end with this week's movie - Samson vs. the Vampire Women (dir. Alfonso Corona Blake). Yes. We said Samson. You'll have to listen to the episode to understand why. Who's joining Derek this week to tackle this kinda-sorta-not-really Americanized luchador monster movie? Jason Jaconetti from the Bots, Bugs, and Babes podcast (part of the Two True Freaks! Podcast Network). Also this week, the return of Michael Dodd's Vault of Monster Collectibles, the return of Jeff Polier's Weird Wednesday Report, and the return of Brenda reading your email.

Larry Underwood (or is it Dr. Gangrene?) joins Derek this week on Monster Kid Radio to discuss the 1935 double-Karloff'ed film The Black Room (dir. Roy William Neill). Is Karloff King? Well, he's a baron in this movie, and that's more than good enough for this more than great film!

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.

It's time for a check up with the good Dr. Gangrene (aka Larry Underwood) when he joins Monster Kid Radio this week to take a look at the 1981 anthology film The Monster Club (dir. Roy Ward Baker). For years, Larry has been torturing Derek with the music from this film, but Derek really shouldn't complain. A mad scientist like Dr. Gangrene is SUPPOSED to torture people, right? Besides, how tortuous can a movie REALLY be if it features Vincent Price and John Carradine? Derek and Larry discuss the film and the music that punctuates the movie's soundtrack, as well as the latest in the world of Dr. Gangrene. We also have listener feedback, and, hey, there's a Monster Kid Radio Crash coming!

Tim Durbin (Viewing the Classics and Classics on the Tube) joins Derek on Monster Kid Radio to discuss the 1932 dark adventure film The Most Dangerous Game (dir. Irving Pichel, Ernest B. Schoedsack). Derek actually didn't know if this movie would fit in the Monster Kid Radio wheelhouse, but by the time he and Tim are done talking about it, we think you'll agree it's required Monster Kid viewing! Also, we can't NOT talk about Universal's attempt to launch a new cinematic world of gods and monsters with 2017's The Mummy (dir. Alex Kurtzman). Derek and his wife saw it, and was joined by Tom Daufel for a quick discussion about the movie. Also, The Shadow Over Portland's Chris McMillan has a few things to say about the film, as does author Stephen D. Sullivan. All this, plus listener voicemails and even a contest is waiting for you in this week's epic-sized episode of Monster Kid Radio!

Familiar voices and maybe not-so-familiar voices join Derek this week on Monster Kid Radio. First, Fiona Young-Brown (https://www.fionayoungbrown.com/) and Nic Brown (http://www.bmovieman.com/) stop by to talk about their upcoming book The B-Movie Cookbook! This book is set to release soon (and you can still pre-order your copy now!), and after talking with this real-life writing power couple about it, Derek feels like he needs a snack! There's no time for snacking, though, because there's still that upcoming mummy movie to talk about. For the final time BEFORE its release, Stephen D. Sullivan (author of Dr. Cushing's Chamber of Horrors and a number of other awesome monster-kid-friendly books) talks with Derek (again!) about The Mummy (dir. Alex Kurtzman). You'll get this on this week's on Monster Kid Radio, plus listener feedback!

In addition to talk about the book, we'll chat about copyright, the movies of Sideshow Cinema, where you can watch Dr. Dreck, and more!

Animator, filmmaker, monster kid Mark Bailey joins Monster Kid Radio this week to talk about, among other things, the New York City Giant Monster Attack Map. This incredible project spotlights a number of monster movies (and video games, comics, etc.!) that take the Big Apple and turn it into a giant monster playground.

Clearly, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is copying Monster Kid Radio . . . right? Okay, not really. But it IS a happy (?) accident that MST3k covered The Beast of Hollow Mountain (dir.

Along the way, we learn what scared Seb as a kid and what movie truly chills him (it's probably not what you think!).

After the screening, organizer Greg Hamilton led a Q&A session with Frank Dietz and special effects artist Chris Walas. Also earlier this week, the ballot for the 15th Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Films Awards was announced, and Monster Kid Radio is honored to on the ballot this year for Best Multi-Media Horror Site.

This Rankin/Bass production has it all – monsters, music, great character design, and Boris Karloff! What more could a monster kid want? Before they get into the movie, though, Derek reviews some recent listener emails. Voicemail: 503-479-5MKR (503-479-5657) Theseus and the Minotaur - Coming Soon from Joshua Kennedy!

Stephen D. Sullivan takes a break from http://cushinghorrors.com/ to join Derek for a conversation about Space Probe Taurus (dir. Leonard Katzman). They both saw the movie thanks to the television channel Comet, and you'll get to hear whether or not it was worth the space it took on their DVRs! Somehow, the conversation turned into a commercial for two of our favorite independent retro filmmakers - Christopher R. Mihm and Joshua Kennedy! Before wrapping up this week's episode, Derek reflects on the Ultraman double feature he recently attended at the Hollywood Theatre.

Recent film school graduate Joshua Kennedy returns to Monster Kid Radio to talk about his most recent film - The Alpha Omega Man - and the next project in the works - Theseus and the Minotaur.

The Kong-versation Kong-tinues this week on Monster Kid Radio and Derek and guest Paul McComas talk more about the 1976 King Kong (dir. John Guillermin) and how it Kong-pares to the original film and the 2005 remake. They also address the assertion made by 1976 Second Unit Director William Kronick when he said, "Kong is a fantastic beast and audiences have more affinity for him than they do for Frankenstein or other screen monsters." MKR Listeners also send in their thoughts on the films and Kong's place in monsterdom.

This week begins a truly epic Kong-versation with returning guest Paul McComas. It will only take you a few minutes into the conversation to realize Paul really enjoys the 1976 King Kong (dir.

It wasn't planned this way, but since Derek and Paul had such a great, in-depth conversation, this is only Part One of their exploration of the films.

The spirit of October is alive and well at Monster Kid Radio, and it will be for you, too, when we take you back October 29th and 30th. The faithful descended on Joy Cinema on October 29th for the 2016 Scare-A-Thon! There, Derek introduced five movies throughout the day - Creature from the Black Lagoon (dir. Jack Arnold), King Kong vs. Godzilla (dir. Ishirō Honda), Count Yorga, Vampire (dir. Bob Kelljan), The Evil Dead (dir. Sam Raimi), and Blacula (dir. William Crain). Before and between the movies, Derek was joined by The Shadow Over Portland's Chris McMillan, local literary legends Dominique Lamssies and Jim Smiley, artist and designer Kris of Laughing Vixen Lounge, and the man who brought the Scare-A-Thon to the masses - Jeff Punk Rock Martin. You'd think 10+ hours at a movie would be enough for Derek, but it wasn't. The next night, he and Chris met at the NW Film Center in downtown Portland for a Monster Kid Radio Crash of the Vincent Price film Theatre of Blood (dir. Douglas Hickox).

Derek and Monster Kid Radio weren't able to attend the most recent Monster Bash, but the Naschycast's Rod Barnett was. Rod brought a portable recorder to the event, and met with friend of the podcast Frank J. Dello Stritto. Frank's an author, a Monster Kid Hall-of-Famer, and the man behind the presentation Darwin Goes Hollywood: Evolution & Movie Horror. Frank generously spent some time with Rod to record the presentation just for us here at Monster Kid Radio, and we couldn't be more grateful!

Michael Legge's new book Dr. Dreck's B-Movie Museum is Monster Kid Radio's topic du jour, and who better to talk about the book with Derek than Michael Legge himself! And what happens when two monster kids start talking about monster movies? The conversation tends to grow, sidetrack, and evolve, so not only do listeners get to hear about the new book, but you'll hear Derek do his best not to go too off-topic (while still talking about monsters!)

The podcasting and b-movie fan community lost a podcastingpioneer last week when Vince Rotolo unexpectedly passed away onWednesday, April 27, 2016. He was more than a podcaster, though.

Wed, 27 April 2016
On Wednesday afternoon, I received a phone call from Nic Brown, one of the co-hosts of the long-running B-Movie Cast, a podcast created and produced by Vince Rotolo. Vince was a friend, an inspiration, and a mentor to many of us, and I was not ready to hear what Nic had to say. Vince passed away suddenly, and if you look on Facebook, you'll see the many folks Vince and his podcast touched over the years. Next week's planned launch of Monster Kid Radio's Lucha de Mayo will be postponed next week. Instead, I'm dedicating Episode #266 to Vince. If you have anything you'd like to contribute to the show, please feel free to call our voicemail line at 503-479-5MKR (503-479-5657), or email you thoughts or recordings to monsterkidradio@gmail.com . . .

The early 1930s laid the groundwork for monster moviedom. Vampires, mad scientists, patchwork monsters . . . and mummies. 1932's The Mummy (dir.

Not only do the two talk about this underrated Hammer classic, Joshua also lets slip who his favorite director is (not that it would be hard to guess!).

Every year, Monster Kid Radio retroactively honors the genre cinema of the past with the Monster Rally Retro Awards, or as we like to call them, The Rallies! As most agree that 1931 was the year that started the horror film genre thanks to Universal's iconic monster movie releases, we'll start with 1931, and (thanks to a suggestion from Monster Kid Radio Irregular and writer Stephen D. Sullivan - buy his books!), we'll also honor 1941's and 1951's monster movie makers. Last year, the ballots were submitted, and now it's time for the winners to be announced!

Christian Nyby). There's a reason why this film made Chris' list, and there's a good chance it may creep up on Derek's Top Three the more he thinks about it!

Are we not monster kids? Michael Legge (aka Dr. Dreck) joins Derek this week to talk about one of the good doctor's favorite horror films. Are we not monster kids? The two of them tackle 1932's Island of Lost Souls (dir. Erle C. Kenton). Are we not monster kids? Along the way, Michael and Derek touch on other cinematic versions of the H. G. Wells' novel The Island of Doctor Moreau, but their focus remains on the first (and best) adaptation of this science fiction classic. (Can you guess who hasn't read the original novel?)
