  • Skullabaloo Scrambled My Brain!

    I began listening to the show after becoming acquainted with Matt and his fabulous wife on the Collectors Call panel this year at Comic Con. Thank goodness, because this show is now my number one favorite podcast to listen to. Great questions, incredible personalities, phenomenal topics. You are my people, and I’m so happy to have found you!

  • Larry is my Kirk Hammet

    Recently I was ENRAGED to find a certain Larry bidding on a coveted Popy Jumbosaurus. With working talker!

    And dropping over 500 bucks to win it!

    Now I’m scarred for life. Just like Larry and a certain member of Metallica.

    Just kidding of course. I was happy to see it going to a good home.

    Share the joy and let out that mighty roar on the show!

    Thanks fellas!

  • Congrats on 300 Episodes!

    I am not a monster kid. But I do love movies, and these monster kids of “Monster Party” have opened up a whole new genre of films for me to enjoy and even cherish. If you’re a monster kid, obviously, this podcast is custom made for you. But even if you just love movies like me, come on in and join the “Monster Party.” It’s a blast.

  • Smart hosts, smart topics for the horror fan

    This is my new favorite podcast. Not only does it cover an amazing array of horror geeky topics with amazing guests (Disneyland with Bob Gurr! Horror comics with David Schow!), but the hosts themselves have a great width and depth of knowledge and experience in horror and the entertainment industry

    Fantastic find, jump in!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TWISTED BLU-RAY GEMS!!! With ETHAN HULL!
Q: What makes a Severin release distinct from other labels in terms of restoration and film selection?
Severin focuses on regional cinema and often prioritizes unique cultural artifacts, with careful restoration led by in-house facilities and collaboration with specialists like Joe Rubin for restoration, ensuring prints are preserved and presented with integrity.
TWISTED BLU-RAY GEMS!!! With ETHAN HULL!
Q: Ethan, how do you and Severin decide which movies to pursue for Blu-ray releases and how do you track down the prints?
The process is driven by the owners, especially David Gregory, who travels the world and leverages a long-standing network of distributors and collectors to locate prints, negotiate estates, and ensure quality control across restoration facilities in LA and Europe.
LEGAL GEEKING!!! With JOSH GILLILAND!
Q: Josh, what is your podcast The Legal Geeks about and how did it come about?
Josh explains that The Legal Geeks uses pop culture as a foil to discuss the law, born from a shared geek love of sci‑fi and comics, and aims to illuminate legal concepts through storytelling rather than giving formal legal advice.
JAWS: 50 YEARS OF FRIGHTS AND BITES!!! With PAT JANKIEWICZ!
Q: How did you gather stories for your book on Jaws?
