At Monster Bash 2015, we had the distinct pleasure of speaking with Bill Riley, Joe Ziegler, and Jason Crutchley, who portray Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, and Scoop Fields in "The Ultimate Abbott and Costello Tribute Show." In this interview, they talk about how they started doing an Abbott and Costello tribute, meeting Chris Costello at Monster Bash, and so much more. The episode concludes with their rendition of the classic "Who's On First" routine, performed Friday, June 19, 2015.

We also interview stop motion filmmaker RYAN LENGYEL, Pennsylvania Paranormal Researcher STAN GORDON, and Vincent's daughter VICTORIA PRICE! FULL DISCLOSURE: Monster Bash is such a blur of fun that we messed up...in this recap we say that things happened on Saturday that really happened on Friday...but the only way you'd know that is if you were there, so we're not too worried. Sleep deprivation is part of the Bash experience, after all. Check out www.monsterbashnews.com for everything you need to know about past and future Monster Bashes.
