Rich and Jeff are honored to have author and film historian David J. Skal as their special guest for this month's meeting. You may have seen David on TCM last Friday night discussing with Dave Karger four of the 62 movies from his latest book, Fright Favorites. . We chat with David about that, as well as several other topics related to his books and studies. We also ask him the same question we asked our listeners: what was (or is) your go-to horror movie reference book or magazine? Two other authors and club members (Stephen D. Sullivan and Derek M. Koch) join us to answer that question, then Rich and Jeff share theirs. All that, plus our regular features... It's an episode packed full of monster kid goodness, so take your seats as we call to order this month's meeting of The Classic Horrors Club Podcast...

After last meeting's part one cliffhanger ending, Jeff and Richard return with their Fall Preview TV Guides for the 1973 and 1974 seasons. They watch the beloved Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (Oct. 10, 1973 - ABC Movie of the Week) and Where Have All the People Gone (Oct. 8, 1974 - NBC.) How much does the nostalgia of watching these movies affect their viewing today?

Jeff and Richard take a detour on their way home from school to pick up the Fall Preview TV Guide before their subscription issues arrive in the mail two days later. What do they find in its pages for the 1971 and 1972 seasons? Two of their viewing pleasures are When Michael Calls (February 5, 1972) and The Devil's Daughter (January 9, 1973), both airing on the ABC Movie of the Week. How do the films hold up nearly 50 years later? Take your seat, turn on your TV, adjust the antenna, and join this month's meeting of The Classic Horrors Club Podcast...

A month late, we celebrate the birthday of the lovely Karla Chamberlain with her choice of topic: Sherlock Holmes. We span a mere portion of the character's film history with three thrillers: House of Fear (1945), The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), and A Study in Terror (1965), and we welcome Karla to the podcast to provide her thoughts. Who's your favorite Holmes? Basil Rathbone? Yea! Peter Cushing? Yea! John Neville? Huh? Do you prefer a slightly buffoonish Dr. Watson or one who can keep up with the master detective? Listen to our opinions, then we invite you to leave feedback on yours. Let's call the meeting to order...

From the safety of their bunkers in two different locations, Jeff and Richard connect to discuss the new Blu-ray release of Frankenstein: the True Story, as well as dust off their original segment on the movie from Episode 9.

The 1930s had been a golden decade for Lionel Atwill. He was one of Hollywood's most highly respected and sought-after character actors. He was earning substantial amounts of money that offered him a luxurious standard of living. He was married to an extremely wealthy woman. He traveled often from East Coast to West Coast and back again, making the most of his homes in both - a large house and beach homes in Los Angeles, and a palatial mansion out East in Maryland. He had two yachts, one on a lake near his Baltimore home, the other on the West Coast. He had a valet to look after all his domestic needs. In his social life, he met and entertained rich and important guests - some of the foreign royalty - whose presence gave him prestige and status. It was a dream life. What could possibly go wrong?

It started in 1972 with an ABC-TV movie called The Night Stalker, continued in 1973 with a sequel called The Night Strangler, and culminated in 1974 with a 20-episode television series called Kolchak: The Night Stalker. Ignoring the 2005 reboot (Stuart Townsend is no Darren McGavin), the saga now continues with... The Classic Horrors Club Podcast! Put on your seersucker suit and straw porkpie hat and join this month's meeting as Jeff and Richard discuss all things Kolchak. Our special guests include a vampire, a 14-year old alchemist, a devil dog, and an ape man.

One thing we can promise about this month's episode: it is not "a miasma of putrid decay." But what about the movies? As we call this month's meeting to order, Jeff and Richard ring in the new year, celebrate our podcasting anniversary, and discuss Count Yorga, Vampire (1970) and The Return of Count Yorga (1971.)

Of course, if your grandmother is anything like Bette Davis, Geraldine Page, or Shelley Winters, you may not want to spend the holidays with her... Learn all about "Hagsploitation," a beloved (by some people, especially Jeff) sub-genre, as Jeff and Richard discuss the movies What Ever Happened to Baby Jane (1962), What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice (1969), and Whoever Slew Auntie Roo (1971).

Richard selflessly (and patiently) gives Jeff a formal introduction to Doctor Who by way of the two movies that really aren't part of television series canon: Dr. Who & the Daleks (1965) and Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966.) You may ask where this subject belongs on The Classic Horrors Club Podcast, but we would reply with two words: Peter Cushing! . Join us for this month's meeting as we open the doors to TARDIS and explore infinite worlds inside, including clips from an interview with Victoria Riskin (Fay Wray's daughter) recorded at Monster Bash by our good friend, Steve Turek...

When is one movie really three movies (or four, or five)? When it's an anthology! It's Halloween season and there's no better way to maximize your movie-watching time than by consuming as many bite-sized stories as you can. . As we call this month's meeting to order, Jeff & Richard lead a discussion about three anthology films from three different decades: Dead of Night (1945), Twice-Told Tales (1963), and Asylum (1972). Sit back and make yourselves comfortable as we face ventriloquist dummies, eternal youth potions, and severed limbs. Only together can we survive...

You'd probably rather be sitting in school than watching the three movies we picked this month! Memory serves these better than they deserve: Unman, Wittering & Zigo (1971), Nothing but the Night (1973), and Satan's School for Girls (1973). What can we say... it was the 70s?

You speak; we listen. Well... Nicholas Hatcher spoke and we listened; hence, this special episode where we take a look at the genre career of the lovely Fay Wray (1907-2004.) Between 1932 and 1935, she made seven genre films: Doctor X, The Vampire Bat, The Most Dangerous Game, Mystery of the Wax Museum, King Kong, Black Moon, and The Clairvoyant. Between the two of them, Jeff and Richard watched them all and offer their opinions about the movies and how well Wray fares. What's your favorite Fay Wray film?

This episode is for two groups of people: those who went to Mars, PA, last month for Monster Bash... and those who didn't. Relive the adventure, or live it vicariously through Jeff and Richard. On the way back, we listened to two British radio plays: The Slide (1966) and Aliens in the Mind (1977). The latter is an ingenious pairing of Peter Cushing and Vincent Price that we never got to see in a movie. It's a long one, so let's take our seats and call this month's meeting to order...

The road to Monster Bash begins here as Jeff & Richard discuss three films with a connection to the annual conference in Mars, PA. First up is The Gorgon (1964), the inspiration for Joshua Kennedy's new film, House of the Gorgon, which has its U.S. premiere at the Bash. Next, it's Dr. Jekyll & Sister Hyde (1971), starring Martine Beswick, who will be a special guest at the Bash. Finally, it's Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972), featuring Christopher Neame, who will also be a special guest at the Bash. It's another Hammer trilogy from The Classic Horrors Club Podcast, one that takes you from the end of the studio's classic era into the heart of its sexy 70's era. Which era is your favorite?
