Mark Maddox joins us for another 100th Anniversary tribute - Paramount Pictures' immortal classic "Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde," starring John Barrymore, Martha Mansfield, Brandon Hurst and Nita Naldi. Barrymore's memorable performance set the bar for future films based on the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel about a scientist seeking to separate man's darker self. Join us for this special episode of "Monster Attack!"
San Antonio is one of my favorite cities not only for its amazing history, but it is full of haunts. One of those haunted places is right next to the Alamo and boasts over thirty ghosts. A young man came to this city with big dreams and started the first brewery in Texas, which makes him a top entrepreneur in my book! This man would turn the boarding house where he stayed upon arriving in town into the Menger Hotel, which would host dignitaries and become a town center. Join me as I share the history and hauntings of the Menger Hotel! The Moment in Oddity features Jack Budlong's death and This Month in History features the death of Martha Mansfield.

Martha Mansfield was an up and coming actress when tragedy struck. Her dress caught fire on set and she died. Peg Entwistle was a stage star who turned to suicide when her movie career did not take off. She jumped from the H in the Hollywoodland sign. Listen as we profile both in under 20!
