Monster Men Ep: 155

It’s another Monster Men Horror Hangout. This time welcome the delightful V. Castro (Violet) to the show. She is the author of Hairspray and Switchblades, Maria The Wanted and the Legacy of The Keepers, as well as her debut vampire novel series and The Erotic Modern Life of Malinalli the Vampire- an erotic novella series. She is a Mexican American ex-pat living in the UK.

Our conversation ranges from vampires and horror to erotica and female/Latino representation in the genre. We also touch upon Nic Cage, Murder Hornets and life under quarantine. It’s a mixed bag and it’s a blast.

Monster Men Ep: 154

This time on Monster Men we support our local theater and the greater horror community by watching a porno. Well, actually we watched PORNO, a new horror/comedy presented by Fangoria and available for a limited time on on-demand with proceeds going to select movie theaters around the country. Hunter and Jack chose to support their longtime favorite, the Alamo Drafthouse.

What happens when a group of teens working at a small movie theater accidentally unleash a succubus from a cursed film? Mayhem, sex, violence and a lot of laughs.

Join us for a relatively spoiler free review and discussion of the really entertaining film.

Monster Men Ep: 152

For this Horror Hangout we welcome back our old pal, horror author & musician Glenn Rolfe. He’s an old friend of the show and one hell of a guy. This particular show really sums up what our Horror Hangouts are all about; a great, and often hilarious conversation that ranges from Guns ‘n Roses to drinking with minor league pro-wrestlers. Oh, and don’t worry, there is plenty of horror talk, including Glenn’s new vampire novel, Until Summer Comes Around, which comes out in May of 2020.

Be sure to check out Glenn’s other books as well, including The Window, Becoming, Blood and Rain, The Haunted Halls, Chasing Ghosts, Abram’s Bridge, Things We Fear, Boom Town, and the collections, Slush and Land of Bones.

The Monster Men Thanksgiving Special: Cornucopia of Horror – Ep. 136

Posted on by

Happy Thanksgiving! On this episode of Monster Men, Hunter surprises Jack with a Thanksgiving meal like you’ve never seen before. In the spirit of our wine and pumpkin ale tasting episodes, we decided this year to shift our focus to food. (If you can call it that.)

This scary meal consists of things like canned, green boiled peanuts, canned chicken Vienna sausages, turkey baby food, and avocado & pea baby food, pickled turnips,  toddler meatloaf & potatoes and some Spam and donuts for dessert. It’s disgusting… and pretty amusing to watch these two knuckleheads put this in their mouths.

So, pull up a chair and join us for the most terrifying Thanksgiving meal ever.

The Monster Men are happy to welcome author Tim Meyer to the show as he takes us on a journey to the creepy side of New Jersey. Tim is a long time friend of the show and one hell of a writer. We are so happy to finally have him on.

To help celebrate the release of Hunter’s new book, THE JERSEY DEVIL, Tim and Hunter recently co-hosted a book-signing event in a microbrewery in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. It does not get much cooler than that. This got us thinking that the Garden State probably deserved a show dedicated to all of it’s bizarre legends and monsters. And who better to guide us than Tim?

Tim Meyer has an impressive body of work, which you should check out as soon a you can. His books include the short story collection, “Worlds Between My Teeth” as well as novels like IN THE HOUSE OF MIRRORS, LESS THAN HUMAN, THE THIN VEIL, the SUNFALL series and the DEMON BLOOD series.

On this episode of Monster Men we review three horror movies and a horror podcast. Two of the movies are now available on Netflix, CREEP and THE LAST DAYS ON MARS. Both are worth a look. You have to see CREEP to believe it. It’s odd, weird and entertaining… in a creepy way. We also review the social media-centric “found footage” movie, UNFRIENDED.

We also give a shout out to Bloody Good Horror, one of our favorite horror podcasts.
