The War of the Worlds (dir. Byron Haskin) isn't over! Tracey Morris continues her visit to Monster Kid Radio this week to help Derek fight back against the Martians in this classic science fiction film from the 50s. This film was an Academy Award-nominated motion picture, and deserves all of its accolades (just ask Tracey or Derek!). Voicemail: 503-479-5MKR (503-479-5657) Plan D: The Official Website of Derek M.

It's the end of the year, and the Martians have arrived! But that's okay - so has Disney, Indiana's Tracey Morris! Tracey returns to Monster Kid Radio this week to talk about the classic scifi alien invasion film The War of the Worlds (dir. Byron Haskin). What revelation does Derek make about himself in this episode? What 8-track did Tracey listen to growing up? And how do the special effects in this adaptation of this HG Wells' classic hold up today?

Santa Claus isn't done conquering the Martians, and we're not done conquering this movie. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is on the way to becoming one of Derek's Christmas favorites, and you have returning guest Scott Morris to thank for that. Scott picked the film this week, and in Part Two of our discussion, he lists a few of his favorite scenes from the movie and shares with us just how deep his love of SCCtM really goes.

On Kimar, on Voldar, on Bomar, and Girmar! On Hargo, on Momar, on Rigna, on Dropo! We're deep in the holiday spirit here at Monster Kid Radio thanks to returning guest Scott Morris.

Last Friday the 13th, the Portland's 13th Door Haunted House threw open their doors to celebrate Christmas . . . with Krampus.

A monster that looks like it was made out of papier mâché, a were-jellyfish, and John Carradine - these are just a few of the topics brought up in Part Two of Derek's cheesy monster movie discussion with monster kid sculptor Tom Biegler. This time around, some of the movies Tom mentions are films Derek's never seen before, but next week for his birthday, Derek will sit down to watch at least one of them (we're looking at you, were-jellyfish). (Speaking of your host's birthday, since next week Derek is celebrating his 40th birthday, Monster Kid Radio's schedule will change a little bit. Instead of a show on Tuesday and Thursday, there will be only one show on Wednesday.) Also on today's episode, the winner of the Tom Biegler Island of Terror sculpt is announced!

Quick! Get some wine to go with this week's cheese! This week on Monster Kid Radio, Derek is joined by returning guest and sculptor Tom Biegler for a discussion of our favorite cheesy monster movies. We love 'em, but let's be honest. There's a solid layer of cheese on some of these flicks, which is a testament to the film's worth because we wouldn't love them any other way! During their discussion, John Agar is mentioned a few times (John Agar Rules!), and Derek tends to sidetrack a bit, but Tom keeps him on course. (And don't forget our 50-Review Challenge!)

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.

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.

What Disney film did Derek's fifth grade teacher show him . . . that TERRIFIED him? Find out in this episode of Monster Kid Radio when Scott Morris join him for Part Two of their discussion of monster kid friendly Disney films. This time, Scott and Derek go over their top three scary Disney films. After getting scared by Mickey Mouse (for real!), Derek heads to Portland's Hollywood Theatre for a screening of 1974's The 7 Brothers Meet Dracula (dir. Roy Ward Baker, Cheh Chang). This was a Monster Kid Radio Crash, and Derek ran into a familiar face after the show - Chris McMillan from The Shadow Over Portland. Also in this episode, Derek checks out a television show from the 70s that ran by two different names - "Ghost Story" and "Circle of Fear." This series was recently released on DVD by Sony, and Derek will let you know if you need some Winston Essex in your life. Derek will also let you know if you need the movie Dawn of Dracula (dir. Blake Powell) in your life when he talks about the feature-length film from the gang from Midnite Mausoleum. Marlena Midnite and Robyn Graves aren't hosting horror movies anymore - now they're in one, and they've brought all their charm, humor, and quirkiness to this homage to 1970s Eurohorror. This is a PACKED episode of Monster Kid Radio, and if you listen close, you might hear an announcement about the Pacific Northwest Theatrical premiere of The Giant Spider (dir. Christopher R. Mihm).

Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff are two of the patron saints of Monster Kid Radio, and for good reason. Their films - especially the films they were in together - strike a strong chord in the hearts and minds of monster kids everywhere, and the Monster Movie Kid Rich Chamberlain returns to Monster Kid Radio to talk about these two titans of classic terror. Were they more alike than some have led us to believe? Which one became a US citizen? Who did more radio work? Who had more wives? Rich and Derek talk about these two men in Part One of MKR's look at the sometimes parallel paths of Karloff and Lugosi.

This was one of the first scary movies Chris saw as a kid, and it haunted it for years, appearing on television, and eventually making its way to his permanent movie collection. Chris and Derek continue to talk about the movie, riff about the film's score, and discuss how some of ...Mr. Chicken's elements might also be found in a popular cartoon amongst monster kids.

Artist and monster kid Tom Biegler invited Derek to his home theater to watch a movie Derek had never seen before - 1963's Matango (dir. IshirÅ Honda). Despite having a lifelong love of classic horror movies, Derek's experience with Japanese monsters has been limited up until recently. Tom is helping Derek to expand his monster movie horizons by sitting him down in front of a movie featuring one of Derek's near-phobias - mushrooms.

In Part Two of Monster Kid Radio's reaction to the Rolling Stone article "Best Monster Movies of All Time" by Alexis Murphy and Julian Ring, Derek looks harder at the list of "twenty horror classics" and considers what movies should end up on a list like this. And just how hard is it to define the word "Best" when creating these lists anyway? Also, Derek's been watching a few movies - Manfish (dir. W. Lee Wilder) and Beyond the Time Barrier (dir. Edgar G. Ulmer) - and responds to the show's first piece of email feedback.

In mid-July, Rolling Stone published on their website the article "Best Monster Movies of All Time" by Alexis Murphy and Julian Ring. At the very least, the list generated some . . . minor discussion on various message boards and forums. What movies were missed? What shouldn't have been on the list? Why exactly is Swamp Thing on there? In Part One of Monster Kid Radio's reaction to this list, Derek looks at the twenty films that made Rolling Stone's list, agreeing with some of the picks, but disagreeing with others.

As the publisher of the 24-issue fanzine Lonny Jr., Paul McComas started writing about monsters before he was even a teenager, and he's still writing about them now. He co-wrote (with Greg Starrett) the short novel Fit for a Frankenstein as a tribute to all things Universal monsters with a particularly fond look at Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Ygor and the Frankenstein Monster as portrayed by Lon Chaney, Jr. Paul and Derek talk about the genesis of this book as well as another role Lon Chaney, Jr., undertook - the Son of Dracula in the film of the same name (dir. Robert Siodmak). Along the way, they also talk about Jack Pierce, early goth girls, and . . . buying used books?

Creighton Tull Chaney left us July 12, 1973, and he left so many classic films behind for us to remember him by. This week's guest was such a fan of the work of Creighton, aka Lon Chaney, Jr., that he started a fanzine called Lonny Jr....before he was even a teenager! Paul McComas has been affected by Chaney's work throughout his life, and just recently released the short novel Fit for a Frankenstein (co-authored by Greg Starrett) which visits the classic Frankenstein's Monster during a time when it was portrayed by Lon Chaney, Jr. Paul is also a filmmaker, a public speaker, a teacher, and an advocate of RAINN, and has graciously taken some time to chat with us here at Monster Kid Radio. Lon wasn't just in werewolf films - Paul and Derek talk about other films in Chaney's filmography, Paul's favorite film of all time (it's not The Wolf Man), and how his own movie Blood of the Wolfman helped to finally solve Lawrence Talbot's curse while letting Paul pay tribute to a lost friend.

Derek looks at the three actors whose names are part of the Monster Kid Radio slogan, and challenges himself to come up with a Top Three favorite film list for each one of them. As with the Top Three Favorite Monster Movie list from Episode #001, this proves to be difficult, and by the time this episode lands in the Monster Kid Radio feed, Derek will have probably changed his mind about at least one or two of the films mentioned!

Recorded live at Wonder Northwest 2013, this is Episode #001 of Monster Kid Radio! To kick off the show, Derek invites Chris McMillan from The Shadow Over Portland to list their Top Three Favorite Monster Movies. Additionally, they take questions from the audience, and cover subjects running the gamut from The Monster Squad to Sharknado, from William Castle to Michael Eisner's son. Thanks to Wonder Northwest for hosting us! |
