Let’s get caught up with the latest episodes of Monster Men. We finally made it back into Studio 13 for a few shows.
Episode 84 features our Christopher Lee Tribute and horror movie reviews of the vampire comedy What We Do In the Shadows and the werewolf flicks Wolf Cop and Late Phases.
It’s Monster Men episode 83! This time we’re discussing It Follows, Maggie, Zombeavers and Girl House. You won’t want to miss this show or these flicks.
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walkin’ with the queen
Doin’ the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walkin’ with the queen
Doin’ the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinkin’ a pina colada at Trader Vic’s
And his hair was perfect
—Warren Zevon, ‘Werewolves of London’
I’m not sure how we managed to go two years without dedicating an episode to werewolves. Just remember to stick to the road…
Arrrrrgggh! We’re back with another interview, this time with author Robert Stava to talk about his newest book, THE FEAST OF ST. ANNE. This is book 2 in his mysterious Wyvern Falls series. Truly strange and creepy stuff.
Before we get to the interview, here’s a little about the book :
Welcome back to the village of Wyvern Falls, here along the Hudson in that sleepy region with the witching influence in the air. This second novel in the ‘Hudson Horror Series’, ‘The Feast of Saint Anne’ brings you not one but four terrifying tales of the supernatural set in their yearly carnival: In “The Red Baron’s Daughter” two boys get more history than they bargained for when a Fortune Teller draws them into the web of a monster with its origins in the deadly skies of the Western Front, circa 1918. Can CID detective John Easton save them from an even grimmer fate? With ‘The Lonely Dancers’ an upcoming band finally show up for their gig – thirty years after they were killed in a tragic accident. Will local musician Nick Carr unravel this murder mystery or is he doomed to relive their tale? The third story, “Lorenzo King and the Dunderberg Imp” takes a new spin on an old Washington Irving classic when a failing New York media hound finds himself in the worst, and deadliest, assignment of his life. But can he outwit this much nastier version of Irving’s river goblin and show everyone who the King really is? And in the final tale, “Hey Dummy!” local Art Director Jim Franks and his girlfriend cross paths with what appears to be an old-fashioned vaudeville act. Only neither ventriloquist nor dummy are what they seem and the answer to their awful secret lies over sixty years in the past with a New Guinea witchdoctor… Four tales. One hair-raising novel. The Feast of Saint Anne.
If you told us when we were recording our first Monster Men podcast that we would still be rolling along 49 episodes later, we would have probably laughed you out of the Monster Men Studio. Goes to show what we know.
We started this madness talking about vampires, so we figured it’s only right to celebrate our 50th episode waxing poetic about the men who played Dracula throughout the last 90 years. Grab a pint of blood, relax your bat wings and join the celebration. And while you’re at it, tell us who your favorite Dracula was in the movies.
