Bride of Monster Kid Radio

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 ta...

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!

Author Frank Schildiner returns to Monster Kid Radio to talk about vampires . . . specifically hunters of vampires. After Derek learns a bit more about Frank's upcoming book The Devil Plague of Naples, they play a round of the Classic Five, and then talk about their Top Three Favorite Vampire Hunters. Plus, Monster Kid Radio's Year of Frankenstein continues, and Derek talks briefly about The Shape...

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...

Effects artist Joseph Schultz joins Derek this week on Monster Kid Radio ostensibly to discuss the 1955 film Day the World Ended (dir. Roger Corman). And they do . . . but they also discuss practical effects vs. CGI effects, his being a monster kid father, and the upcoming Carl Denham's Giant Monster. The two of them have a lot to talk about (and they didn't even really touch too much on the Backs...

Lots to get to this week, so hang on tight! Derek takes you back to this past summer's Monster Bash for two interviews - one with legendary actress Veronica Carlson, and one with filmmaker Joshua Kennedy about the Monster Bash premiere of his latest movie Theseus and the Minotaur. Joshua doesn't know how to take a break - since this recording, he produced an adaptation of Frankenstein for the stag...

Troy Howarth returns to the podcast this week, and takes Derek on a trip to The Torture Chamber of Dr. Sadism (dir. Harald Reinl). If the movie's title doesn't pique your interest, maybe one of the film's stars will. Christopher Lee is in the cast! Also, this past Wednesday night, Derek went to Weird Wednesday at the Joy Cinema for a screening of Terror Beneath the Sea (dir. Hajime Sato), and poin...

Recently, Chris McMillan from The Shadow Over Portland (http://shadowoverportland.blogspot.com/) joined Derek at Portland's NW Film Center for a double feature of Alfred Hitchcock's classic, Psycho, and the new documentary 78/52: Hitchcock's Shower Scene (dir. Alexandre O. Philippe). And did we mention that Psycho was a 35mm print?

Last week, the Monster Kid Radio 2017 Holiday Gift Guide was revealed, and one of the items on the gift guide was the movie Caltiki, The Immortal Monster (dir. Mario Bava, Riccardo Freda). It made the guide because The Shadow Over Portland's Chris McMillan recommended it, so it only seemed fair to have him on the show this week to talk about the movie itself. We also hear a bit about his experienc...

1973's The Creeping Flesh (dir. Freddie Francis) is on deck this week, as is Dan Day, Jr., the man behind The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog. Dan is a huge fan of this film, and while he and Derek did get a chance to talk about it briefly at this past summer's Monster Bash, they saved the really good conversation for this episode of Monster Kid Radio. Along the way, they also talk about Veronica Carlso...

There's another new voice this week on Monster Kid Radio this week when Bloody Good Horror's Andrew Roebuck joins Derek to talk about everybody's favorite giant turtle. But which version of the original Gamera do they tackle? BOTH OF THEM! Gamera: The Giant Monster (dir. Noriaki Yuasa) and Gammera the Invincible (dir. Sandy Howard, Noriaki Yuasa) are decidedly different films . . . or are they? Li...

Author Micah S. Harris joins Monster Kid Radio this week, and he's bringing The Woman Eater (dir. Charles Saunders) with him. This 1958 film is the main topic of conversation, but that's not all Micah and Derek talk about this week on the podcast. We'll learn a bit about Micah's background as a monster kid and writer, what interesting . . . creature . . . he had for a pet as a kid, and, of course,...

Scott Morris joins Derek on a trip to the far flung future of 1973 when they get together to chat about 1958's It! The Terror from Beyond Space (dir. Edward L. Cahn). Scott may be one of the founders of Disney, Indiana, but don't let those mouse ears fool you. He's a classic sci-fi fan through-and-through . . . although before prepping for this recording, he'd never seen 1979's Alien (dir. Ridley...

Author Dwight Kemper (The Vampire's Tomb Mystery, Who Framed Boris Karloff?) returns to Monster Kid Radio, and he's bringing a child with him. Specifically, he's bringing a son. A Son of Frankenstein (dir. Rowland V. Lee). Son of Frankenstein has a lot to offer monster fans and Monster Kids, and Dwight's here to tell us all why. He also tries his luck at the Classic Five. Voicemail: 503-479-5MKR (...

Horror. Blood. Monsters. Three great words to throw around during the month of October, but what happens when you combine those words with a podcaster and his guest? You get a fun chat with guest Tom Biegler about the 1970 film Horror of the Blood Monsters (dir. Al Adamson). This was a first time viewing for Derek, so it was a real treat to talk about this movie with a long time fan. Also, there's...

The stars are right! Derek attended the HP Lovecraft Film Festival and CthulhuCon, and brought his audio recorder along! This was yet another fantastic film festival in the long line of fantastic film festivals produced by Brian and Gwen Callahan, Andrew Migliore, and the rest of the HPLFF crew and volunteers. Here's what you can expect in this week's episode of Monster Kid Radio: 0:03:01 - Primer...

By the time you hear this episode, the latest Christopher R. Mihm film Demon with the Atomic Brain has had its world premiere, and to celebrate the 12th film (in 12 years!) of the Mihmiverse, Derek is joined by Mihmiverse super fan Steven Turek to journey through the movies. Derek met MKR listener Steven at Monster Bash, so they catch up for a moment before diving into their discussion. Afterward,...

Sword and Sandals and Monsters Month concludes this week on Monster Kid Radio with guest Alan Tromp when he joins Derek to discuss 1961's Goliath and the Vampires (dir. Sergio Corbucci, Giacomo Gentilomo) . . . after Alan gives us a brief trip report from NecronomiCon Providence 2017. After Derek puts away his loincloth (it will be back next year!), he invites filmmaker Christopher R. Mihm to the...

Sword and Sandals and Monsters Month continues on Monster Kid Radio with two guests this week - Rod Barnett and Dominique Lamssies - and Derek's going to need the back-up because we're taking on Christopher Lee this time around! The movie on deck? 1961's Hercules in the Haunted World (dir. Mario Bava). Are Christopher Lee and Hercules two great tastes that taste great together? Check out this week...

Sword and Sandals and Monsters Month continues on Monster Kid Radio with the conversation Derek and guest Chris McMillan started last week with Hercules Against the Moon Men (dir. Giacomo Gentilomo). That movie was released on DVD as a double feature with this week's movie - The Witch's Curse (dir. Riccardo Freda) - so it made sense (to Derek at least!) to keep the dialogue between podcaster and S...

It's the first week of Sword and Sandals and Monsters Month on Monster Kid Radio, and this week, Chris McMillan from the Shadow Over Portland joins Derek to take on the sweaty peplum epic Hercules Against the Moon Men (dir. Giacomo Gentilomo). Are they SURE this movie features Hercules? What ARE the Moon Men? And is Chris wearing a KILT or a LOINCLOTH? Listen to Monster Kid Radio this week to find...

It's time to announce the winners of this year's Monster Rally Retro Awards! Stephen D. Sullivan (Dr. Cushing's Chamber of Horrors, White Zombie, etc.) joins Derek this week for a quick Monster Bash reminiscing before reviewing the ballot and announcing the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Monster, and Best Movie of 1933, 1943, and 1953. Monster Kid Radio on TeePublic - https://www.te...

Author, monster kid, and Batman-fanatic Dominique Lamssies joins Derek this week for a trip to the opera house. In addition to talking about 1943's Phantom of the Opera (dir. Arthur Lubin), Derek and Dominique also rap about Universal's Dark Universe, Marvel vs. DC, and, of course, Peter Cushing.

Things get sticky this week on Monster Kid Radio when Collecting Classic Monsters' George McGowan joins Derek to tackle the 1958 classic The Blob (dir. Irvin Yeaworth, Russell S. Doughton Jr.). There's a lot to talk about regarding The Blob, so much so that Derek and George can't cover it themselves! So to fill in some more blob blanks, we go back to Monster Bash for a recording from the Q&A sessi...
