  • Fun and Fantastic!

    I’ve had a lifelong passion for monsters, comic books, film, and music. As a professional illustrator, this show is right in my wheelhouse. Ben’s sharp sense of humor, and his talented guest, makes the informative bits more entertaining and the weird monsters even weirder. Keep the cheap chills coming!
