    Big Monster Month continues on the Late Night Fright and we have spared no expense this time! Journey with your horror hosts, Dan and Faith, to a little island off the coast of Coast Rica where industrialist John Hammond has been busy building a biological preserve with some rather interesting creatures… From director Steven Spielberg (JAWS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK) and author/screenwriter Michael Crichton (WESTWORLD, CONGO, E/R) comes an adventure 65 million years in the making, 1993's JURASSIC PARK. Sam Neill (DEAD CALM, ESCAPE PLAN), Laura Dern (WILD AT HEART, TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN), and Jeff Goldblum (THE BIG CHILL, INDEPENDENCE DAY) are about to come face to face with dinosaurs! Some are friendly vegetarians and others have a taste for meat…and blood… Widely considered to be one of the finest action/thrillers ever made, JURASSIC PARK is a spiritual sequel to Spielberg's massive 1975 hit JAWS and revolutionized special effects and blockbuster filmmaking in much the same way that 1977's STAR WARS did.  Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up and get ready to howl at the moon because it is time for the Late Night Fright, broadcasting live from WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio!  E-mail us at latenightfrightpodcast@gmail.com Visit us at https://thelatenightfright.podbean.com Check out a great analysis of the JURASSIC PARK score here Join us next time for 2016's award winning Japanese film SHIN GODZILLA!  Stay spooky!  Be sure to check out www.wideawakecoffee.com!
