Summary

It's that time again! It's October. The sun goes down in the afternoon now. Night has a chill. And at CVS and Walgreens, they are already putting up the Christmas decorations. That's right, it's Halloween. But none of that for us! We are firmly planted in autumn. As Ray Bradbury once wrote, "Something, something, something, autumn something." By Ray Bradbury.

We have enough show here to stuff your pillowcase, so grab a bag of candy and settle back. Howard Berger and Marshall Julius are here to discuss their new book, Making Monsters, inside stories from the creators of Hollywood's most iconic creatures. This is a terrific book, basically it's a high school yearbook for professional monster kids. Rick Baker, Tom Savini, Michael Giacchino, Larry Karaszewski, Ve Neill, Richard Edlund, Derek Mears, Bill Corso, David Dastmalchian, Mick Garris, Mike Mendez. The list goes on and on and on. Monster kids who grew up but never put it away, and followed their passions right into show business. Packed with photos and interviews, it's really a terrific piece. Making Monsters, by Howard Berger. The Academy Award winning make up artist, he is the B in KNB FX and Marshall Julius, author and film critic and - get this – he's British. He's from the United States of Britain.

Daren Docterman is also here. Daren is an illustrator and set designer, he's worked on The Abyss, Monster House, Master and Commander, he was the VFX supervisor on the director's cut of Star Trek - The Motion Picture. He, along with Mark Altman and Ashley Miller, make up The Inglourious Trexperts. Check out that podcast. And, like Howard Berger and Marshall Julius. He's a pal. We've had meals. Quite a few. Daren Dochterman. True Tales From Weirdsville takes a deep dive into American International Pictures and it's genre output in the '50s and '60s. It gave us Roger Corman, It Conquered The World, Invasion Of The Saucer Men, The Amazing Colossal Man, I Was a Teenage Werewolf. And then it segued into the '60s with the Vincent Price / Edgar Allen Poe films like The House Of Usher, The Pit and The Pendulum, and so and and so forth. And then, as a Halloween bonus, we're going to go back into the archives and present you the True Tales we did on Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds broadcast. It's all here. It's all for you. And now, I can hear the kids at the door, and so it is on to our filthy business.
