Black cats and goblins and broomsticks and ghosts. Pumpkins of witches are there to roast. You may think, they scare me; you're probably right. Black-cats and goblins on Halloween night! - TRICK OR TREAT We examine the true tale of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers with the original Halloween and the 2018 remake!

Russ and I go onto a gonzo journey; a trail to which the likes of Dennis Hopper, Hunter S. Thompson, Tom Wolfe and Joan Didion have travelled upon. Join us as we go across the californian wasteland with the Satan's Sadists (1968), an epic biker movie filled with sex and violence directed by the Schlock Master himself: Al Adamson. This episode is dedicated, as per usual to my good buddy David Konow, who literally wrote the book on Al Adamson.

Film Writer, Bestselling Author and Horror Movie Aficionado DAVID KONOW joins us on the audio bench this week as we celebrate HALLOWEEN in the best way possible: by checking out the lost variety show classic The Paul Lynde Halloween Special. Paul Lynde, famed comedian and gay icon, was famous for singing the 'kids' song from BYE BYE BIRDIE (the movie, not the play) and for being the centre square for CELEBRITY SQUARES throughout the 70's. His camp style lead him to be considered a pioneer in Television comedy and for his efforts, the powers that be gave him his own HALLOWEEN SPECIAL - also starring Wizard Of Oz's own wicked witch of the west MARGARET HAMILTON.

David Konow, who wrote THE BOOK on Al Adamson (schlockmeister filmmaker extraordinaire), talks about his film career once again and reviews Al Adamson's nightmarish import FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR. This episode is dedicated to Jim Shaughnessy.

Esteemed journalista DAVID KONOW returns for another interview. This time we focus on his fascination non-fiction book of the Schlock Film Auteur AL ADAMSON.

David Konow is the author of 'Reel Terror: The Scary, Bloody, Gory, Hundred-Year History of Classic Horror Films', 'Bang Your Head: The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal', 'Schlock-O-Rama: The Films of Al Adamson'. He is also a critic and journalist and all-round gentleman. We chat about his writings, his experiences with the film professionals in the horror genre and his storied life.

BJ has a conversation with David Konow about his books Bang Your Head: The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal and Reel Terror.

Filmmakers discovered in the early twentieth century that Americans would gladly pay to be scared to death.

Filmmakers discovered in the early twentieth century that Americans would gladly pay to be scared to death. As the decades marched on, dismissive critics regularly wrote obituaries for the relentlessly popular horror genre, even as other kinds of films (Blaxploitation, anyone?) disappeared from theaters. David Konow, in Reel Terror: The Scary, Bloody, Gory, Hundred-Year History of Classic Horror Films (St. Martin’s Press, 2012), surveys the history of this much-maligned genre and explains why it refuses to die. As he demonstrates in one eminently readable chapter after another, it’s incredibly “fun” to be afraid. That simple fact helps explain why “the true fans of the genre couldn’t care less what the mainstream or the critics think about horror. It never kept them away from the theaters.” Like all good books, Reel Terror‘s strengths stem from the talents of its author. Konow is possessed of a true encyclopedic knowledge of his subject matter and is a passionate advocate for horror. He’s also a dogged researcher, as evidenced by the dozens of original interviews he conducted with film directors, producers, and actors both obscure and famous. Ultimately, rabid fans of the genre who think they’ve heard all of the stories surrounding classics like Psycho, Night of the Living Dead and Jaws will find new insights in the pages of Reel Terror, and even those who have only a passing interest in such films will find themselves reconsidering their stance by the end of the book. David Konow is the author of Bang Your Head: The Rise and Fall of Heavy Metal and Schock-O-Rama: The Films of Al Adamson. He has written for dozens of publications and websites, including LA Weekly, Guitar World, Fangoria, and TGDaily.com. He lives in Southern California and can be reached via Facebook or email (konowd@pacbell.net) . Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
