Rondo Award-winning artist Roger Koch is one of us. He loves the classic monster movies. He likes to talk about the movies he loves with other like-minded folks (like the listeners of Monster Kid Radio). And when he has an experience that not all monster kids get to have, he makes it a point to share these stories with others . . . like the time he met Vincent Price on the set of Madhouse (dir. Ji...

1959's Santa Claus (dir. René Cardona) continues to blow Derek's mind in this episode of Monster Kid Radio. While discussing some of the more bizarre elements of this movie (dream sequences and the battle tactics of the devil Pitch, just to name a few), guest Scott Morris tells us which of the two Santa films covered on Monster Kid Radio (so far) he prefers - this one or Santa Claus Conquers the M...

Derek is more familiar with René Cardona's Santo movies than his Santa movie, and that's why he's been looking forward to this week on Monster Kid Radio.
