We’ll soon be heading out to PA this weekend for this year’s spring Monster Bash! This has become one of our favorite shows over the years and is always a good time. Join us there for another weekend of movies, incredible deals in the vendor room, and more monsters to shake a stick at! We’ll have our usual array of books, magazines, movies, and soundtracks. Keep in mind folks, since my book selling days are coming to an end, now is the time to pick up some of those titles you’ve been wanting to get but just haven’t picked up yet. Of course, along with me is my partner-in-crime and wife Dawn with her selection of homemade tote bags and pillows.

The guests for this show include: Lynne Lugosi-Sparks, granddaughter of Bela Lugosi, Audrey Dalton from Mr. Sardonicus (1961) and The Monster that Challenged the World (1957), Daniel Roebuck, Beverly Washburn from Spider Baby (1967), Pamula Pierce, actress and daughter of the director of The Legend of Boggy Creek (1972), Tom Savini, as well as writers Tom Weaver, Frank Dello Stritto, Greg Mank, Sam Irvin, Rondo winning artist Mark Maddox, and more!

We’ll be there all 3 days at the show and hanging out afterhours to do some serious discussions on the world of monster movies and horror films! So come join us to escape from the real world (which is scarier than any movie), relax, and have a good time. Hope to see you there!

There are those icons from the golden age of horror, such as Lugosi & Karloff, or the generation after that, with names like Lee, Cushing, and Price. But if there was going to be one name from the modern generation of the horror genre, it would have to be Robert Englund. And now, thanks to this new documentary called Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story, if you didn’t know already, you’ll learn why.

3 on a Meathook (1972), Grizzly (1976), & Day of the Animals (1977). Director William Girdler is a name that some horror fans might know some of his work, but probably don’t know a lot about the man himself, or maybe don’t realize how many great films he produced in a very short time, before his untimely death. 9 movies in only 6 years, and one of them being the most successful independent film for the time, which head that record until John Carpenter’s Halloween (1978). In this episode we cover one of his earlier films, as well as two of his most popular ones, or ones that might be more familiar with your average fan. But we invite you to listen up and even rewatch them and see if you don’t agree with us that William Girdler was much more than a low budget independent filmmaker, but one that consistently turned-out entertaining pictures.

As we get closer to starting our 2023 Kryptic World Tour, there is something that has been on my mind for more than a few months that I feel the need to get it out there.

Those of you out there that know me from conventions, know that I mainly deal in horror reference books. It is one of my strong passions as a horror fan, and love being one of the few dealers at the horror conventions that deal in them. I love being able to get a book out there to another fan, handing over the potential to learn more about a particular actor or film.

But the times are a changing, as they say.
