Eiji Tsuburaya emerged from the horrors of WWII believing that kaiju stories could help restore hope to traumatized children. His pioneering work laid the architecture for a six-decade tokusatsu movement in which monsters offer cultural mirrors and spiritual architecture. This session will cross space and time to explore the complexity and beauty of monsters as storytellers. Perhaps their tales can give us courage and hope to face some creatures raging in our own tumultuous era.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Humans are finally being invited into Monstropolis at Disney's Hollywood Studios! In this episode of Castle Talk Radio, Becca and Jessica explore the new Monsters, Inc.-themed land coming to Walt Disney World. Rather than simply recreating scenes from the movies, Disney is building an entire city where guests will visit as human tourists during H.U.M.A.N. Day. We discuss: • Why humans are now welcome in Monstropolis • What H.U.M.A.N. Day means • The suspended door-vault coaster and its first-of-its-kind vertical lift • Why the coaster will not be ready when parts of the land open in 2027 • “Welcome to Monstropolis,” featuring a new song by Randy Newman • The Glob Theater show starring Mike and Sulley • Harryhausen's Restaurant and its Audio-Animatronics sushi chef • Archie's Scare Pig Pizza and the Monsters University Alumni Club • Shopping at the Scareporium • The bittersweet reality of Monstropolis replacing the former Muppets area • Why this could transform how families plan their Disney's Hollywood Studios days Monstropolis is shaping up to be much more than a new attraction. Disney is creating a city filled with restaurants, businesses, entertainment, hidden details, and plenty of reasons to slow down and explore.

Hey Vintage Sand fans! Hope the summer was relaxing, fun, and adventurous. An offbeat recommendation to begin—even if you're not a fan, as a film lover you must see the first half hour of this summer's "Minions and Monsters", which pays gentle comic tribute to the entire history of film from Muybridge's experiments through "Citizen Kane", name-checking the Lumieres, Méliès, Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd, and riffing like "Singin' in the Rain" and "Babylon" on the impact of the arrival of sound in Hollywood. Love or hate the little yellow guys, here are some filmmakers who truly love film and film history! For the sixth time in the history of the podcast, Team Vintage Sand returns to one of its most popular formats: the Hidden Gems episode. As we did in episodes 11, 30, 40, 53, and 64 (take notes—there will be a quiz), we each choose one film to discuss that we feel has been underappreciated and overlooked by the madding crowd yearning to see anything besides a prequel, sequel, spinoff, or reboot. This time around, by pure coincidence, the episode features three films that are relatively similar in their lightness of tone, though only one might be described as a pure comedy, albeit a dark one. That would be Michael's pick, Lawrence Kasdan's "I Love You to Death" from 1990. Featuring an unbelievable cast including Kevin Kline (fresh off his Oscar win for "A Fish Called Wanda"), the sublime Tracey Ullman in her first big-screen performance, as well as Joan Plowright (who steals the film), River Phoenix, Keanu Reeves and William Hurt, the film puts a black comedy twist on the real-life story of a pizzeria-owning, philandering husband, and his wife, who makes repeated and increasingly violent unsuccessful attempts to kill him. John shines the spotlight on "The Nice Guys", the 2016 action comedy by Shane Black starring Ryan Gosling and a heavyset, Bronx-accented Russell Crowe. The film features a stellar supporting cast including Keith David, Margaret Qualley, Kim Basinger, and a wonderful performance by Angourie Rice as Gosling's daughter. Set in LA in 1977, it is a compendium of every noirish LA film ever made, from "Chinatown" to "Lebowski" to "Boogie Nights" to "Pulp Fiction" to "The Long Goodbye". As always with Black, the writing can be clunky and the tonal shifts are sometimes awkward. But the film is more than worthwhile for every priceless moment that Gosling and Crowe are together on screen; they are probably the best buddy pair featured in Black's long list of buddy action comedies. I focus on the film that brought an abrupt end to the roll Alan Rudolph was on in the mid-80's, from which the Altman disciple and wannabe never really recovered: 1987's "Made in Heaven". The story of a romance (featuring Tim Hutton and Kelly McGillis) kindled in the Afterlife but which extends from this world to the next, the film, like another 1987 release "The Princess Bride", unironically and sweetly makes the case for the power of True Love, even over death. How you feel about that idea will largely determine your reaction to Rudolph's film; there are plot holes as wide as the Pearly Gates themselves, and some questionable writing here and there. But the other thing the film has going for it is its focus on music, especially the concluding song “We've Never Danced”, written by Neil Young (who has a cameo) and sung by the wondrous Martha Davis, the lead singer of early-80's faves The Motels. So please enjoy visiting and/or revisiting these films, check out that opening of the Minions film, and celebrate the new school year by recommitting to your love of film and seeing movies in theaters. And whatever the rest of 2026 brings us in the world of film, count on Team Vintage Sand to be your trusty sherpas for the journey.

In the heart of Louisiana's swamps, ancient curses, ghostly hitchhikers, and bloodthirsty cryptids rise from the mist – proving the bayou's darkest legends might be terrifyingly true.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/LouisianaSwampsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/muer7xd4FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Welcome to a DARKIVE episode from May, 2022! *** We look into the creepy swamps of Louisiana, where gators and snakes are the least of your worries as compared to the paranormal. (Swamp Legends of Louisiana) *** From building fake cities, to creating ghost army bases, to playing stupid in front of the enemy, we'll look at some of the most cleverly deceptive tactics that have been used in war throughout history. (Brilliant Wartime Deceptions) *** Chung Ling Soo was one of the greatest magicians of his time – so much so the he was able to not only conceal items up his sleeves, but conceal his true identity. (The Magician Who Lived a Double Life) *** In 1974 five little girls disappeared in a span of just three months – two were later found deceased, but the remaining three have never been found. And the kidnapper and murderer has never been brought to justice… nor do we have any idea who it was. (The Jacksonville Kidnappings) *** Photographs of strange orblike objects are more common than any other photos purported to be ghosts, aliens, or cryptids. But what exactly are these orbs? A trick of the light… or could they be alive? (Could Ghost Orbs Be Living Energy Beings?) *** In the mountains of Jackson County in North Carolina lies a large mysterious rock covered in petroglyphs that have yet to be deciphered. For the Cherokee Indians, the rock and surrounding area is a sacred site where ceremonies used to take place. Indeed, Judaculla Rock is surrounded by rumors and legends, including strange sounds and UFO sightings during the night. (The Indecipherable Judaculla Rock) *** In 1971 children from all over the United States were being rushed into hospital emergency rooms with a very strange symptom… what was causing otherwise healthy children to create pink poop?

Alaska is vast, remote, and indifferent to human comfort. It's a place where the wilderness stretches unbroken for hundreds of miles, where the nights last for months, and where the line between the known and the unexplainable grows thin.

Casey picks Jan de Bont's The Haunting for the second movie in our Dead of Summer triple feature. In this episode, we meet Hugh Crain, along with Hill House itself. We trace the film's tangled path from a planned Spielberg/Stephen King collaboration (that eventually became King's Rose Red) through Jan de Bont taking the reins, and break down all 16 monster reveals hiding in Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Owen Wilson, and Lili Taylor's ill-fated sleep study. We compare this haunted house movie to both the 1963 original and Mike Flanagan's Netflix series, geek out over the ILM and Tippett Studios effects work, run our Real Monsters segment, and find out once and for all whether any of us would survive a night in Hill House.

Hey everybody! Paul Hix is back, and we're continuing our coverage of Saga of the Swamp Thing!

Send us Fan MailA secret agent can stop terrorists, jump rooftops, and steal a Harrier jet, but he still can't figure out how to talk to his wife. We get into True Lies with the right amount of love and side-eye, because this movie is peak 90s action comedy: huge stunts, sharp character beats, and jokes that land harder than they probably should. We walk through the plot, call out the scenes that define it, and ask the obvious question: how did anyone believe Arnold Schwarzenegger was a “computer hardware salesman”?We also spend time on what makes the cast click. Jamie Lee Curtis gets a real arc and some iconic moments, Tom Arnold delivers chaos like it's a sport, and Bill Paxton plays the smarmiest fake spy with total commitment. From the staged mission and interrogation gags to the bridge chase and missile payoff, we talk about why James Cameron's direction makes the whole thing feel expensive, practical, and oddly sincere even when the logic goes off the rails.Then we pivot into everything else we can't stop thinking about: HBO's Monsters of God and the wild world of reptile smuggling, plus the GTA 6 leak and the bigger argument over digital games, physical discs, and what it means to actually own what you buy. If you like movie reviews, pop culture detours, and honest debates about games and media, you'll have a lot to chew on.Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave us a review with your #1 action movie pick.Support the show

The Trump administration has announced a new set of harsh sanctions against Iran. This is a strange development since originally Trump launched a war on Iran on the pretext that sanctions weren't working. Trita Parsi of the Qunicy Institute argues the current tactic won't work and is a holding action as both the US and Iran bide their time in a long conflict.

Mutual friend Mitch Perry first introduced Todd and RadioBypass host Ralph Rasmussen, and Todd and Ralph talked then about getting together for a RadioBypass interview. It took a little longer than planned—but considering everything happening in Todd's musical world right now, the timing couldn't have been much better.One of the biggest topics is Triumph.Todd takes us inside his experience joining Rik Emmett and Gil Moore for the Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded Tour, something he describes as among the most surreal experiences of his career. Growing up in Canada with Triumph's music in his DNA makes being part of the band's return especially meaningful.Todd talks about stepping into the role originally held by Mike Levine while still bringing his own personality to the stage, working alongside Phil X and Brent Fitz, recreating those classic Triumph songs live, and the unforgettable moment when Rik Emmett asked him to sing “Fight the Good Fight.”With a second leg of the Rock & Roll Machine Reloaded Tour announced, Todd also discusses what might change when the band heads back out and some of the Triumph music he'd love to tackle. We also dive into Toque, Todd's celebration of Canadian Rock and Roll with longtime musical partner Brent Fitz. Todd tells us how the band began, what Canadian rock means to him, and the story behind “Fighters,” which RadioBypass named one of our Top 11 Singles of 2025.Todd shares the meaning behind “Fighters,” the unexpected hockey story that inspired one of its lyrics, and what's happening now with Toque—including their brand-new single “This Isn't Over.”The conversation also takes us through Minefield, Heroes & Monsters, Blackbird Angels, Todd's collaborations with Black Sonic Pearls, the changing music business, why being a frontman has helped him become a better sideman, and why saying “yes” has played such an important role throughout his career.And before we wrap up, Todd gives us some exciting news about Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators:The next SMKC album is coming in 2027Todd says a new single should arrive before the end of 2026And the band plans to embark on a world tour in 2027Then we do what RadioBypass does best—turn up the music!Toque – FightersOne of the RadioBypass Top 11 Singles of 2025Toque – This Isn't OverThe brand-new Toque single, personally selected by Todd Kerns for RadioBypass.There was still plenty left to talk about when we reached the end—and Todd himself suggested a “Part Two.”We think that's a pretty good idea!Turn it up and enjoy our conversation with Todd Kerns!RadioBypass – celebrating rock past, present and future... delivering Rock and Roll music that DESERVES to be heard!

The Summer of Dan Savings Event comes to an end with 1992's Godzilla vs. Mothra. A stray meteoroid reawakens the King of the Monsters and sets off a series of natural disasters across the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese government forces ex-archeologist Takuya Fujito to investigate one such disaster: a landslide in Indonesia that unearthed something strange. On the remote Infant Island, Takuya's expedition discovers a gigantic egg and tiny twin fairies called the Cosmos. Mothra, the Guardian of Earth we all know and love, is set to hatch from the egg in order to save humanity from their own hubris. However, the Cosmos warn that Mothra has a dark twin named Battra, whose patience for mankind has long since run out. The two Divine Moths are drawn to Japan by Godzilla's latest rampage, igniting a three-way battle to restore the balance of nature. The real estate market trembles, egg prices skyrocket, and a familiar duet starts playing on today's long-prophesied episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!.

Tonight's guest, Sean Patterson, is a United States Army veteran who has had a multitude of Sasquatch sightings and experiences. Those experiences haven't been confined to just one area, either. He's had them all over the country. Some of his sightings have amounted to little more than fleeting glimpses, while others have been prolonged encounters where he was close enough to touch them. A Sasquatch even touched his face one time!After having so many experiences with Sasquatch, it would be easy to assume that Sean would be at ease around them by now. If you thought that, though, you'd be wrong. Even after everything he's experienced, when he interacts with them, he still gets worked up.On tonight's show, Sean is going to walk you through the experiences he's had with them over the years. Some of those experiences were amazing. Others, not so much. Regardless, we hope you'll tune in and listen to Sean share them.If you've had at least one Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

Tonight's guest, Ken, was born and raised in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Located along the northern edge of the Endless Mountains, Susquehanna County is home to countless forest-covered, rolling hills and the kind of terrain that would make it easy for a large cryptid to remain hidden.Late one night, in November of 2016, Ken was driving his ex-girlfriend around while she delivered newspapers on a route the two of them had been warned about. The warnings came from friends of his ex-girlfriend who had previously delivered papers on that route. They told Ken and his ex to be careful because they had seen what they described as Yetis while making deliveries.Naturally, Ken and his girlfriend didn't know what to make of those warnings. They had no reason to believe anything like that could be in the area. Their views on the existence of large, unknown cryptids changed abruptly that night, however. What they encountered didn't resemble a Yeti. According to Ken, it looked like a huge Werewolf.We hope you'll tune in and listen to Ken chronicle what happened that night, how the experience affected him, and the one detail about the encounter that still doesn't make sense to him.If you've had a Dogman encounter and need help or would like to be a guest on the show, please go to https://DogmanEncounters.com and submit a report.

Horror movies are frequently better because of their side characters. Whether they're scary, bizarre or hilarious, they frequently make the scares better or deliver much needed comedic relief in between terror and suspense. On this episode we were joined by McRib who presented this topic and we all showed up with a list of our favorites. Surprisingly there were almost no duplicate picks and it made for a really fun conversation on an underrated element of this genre we all love. Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and our blog. Thanks for listening!

We go back to 2020 to pick up a movie we missed, Love and Monsters.

Tonight's guest, Randy Hutchings, had his first Bigfoot sighting in 2011, in Middle Tennessee.

The Eyes of Fear The New Monsters – Story Five, Episode Three Why do monsters survive in an age of science? Why do ancient fears continue to evolve in a world filled with smartphones, surveillance cameras, artificial intelligence, and instant access to information? And why, after nearly thirty years, do people still report encounters with the Black-Eyed Children? In the concluding chapter of this three-part investigation, The Devil Within moves beyond eyewitness accounts and paranormal speculation to explore a more fascinating question: why do stories like this refuse to die? This week, Branden Morgan examines the remarkable science behind memory, intuition, and eyewitness testimony, revealing why the human brain is far more sophisticated—and far less reliable—than most of us realize. Are the Black-Eyed Children evidence of something supernatural? Could they be the product of suggestion, folklore, and the extraordinary way our minds reconstruct emotionally charged experiences? Or does the truth lie somewhere between those two possibilities? As the investigation unfolds, we discover that the legend's greatest strength may have nothing to do with black eyes at all. Instead, it lies in a deeply familiar human experience: the unsettling feeling that something is wrong long before we can explain why. It is a sensation nearly everyone has experienced at some point in life—a warning whispered by instinct before conscious thought has assembled the evidence. The episode then widens its lens to examine the evolution of modern mythology itself. From the changelings of Celtic folklore to vampires, fairies, ghost children, and finally the Black-Eyed Children, every civilization has created stories about strangers who appear almost human while violating some deeply rooted expectation of what it means to be safe. These legends are less about proving the supernatural than preserving emotional truths that transcend generations. As The Black-Eyed Children comes to its haunting conclusion, the series also completes the first chapter of The New Monsters. Together, these stories have explored the fears that define our age. The Frogman reflected our growing anxiety over environmental collapse. The Montauk Monster embodied our suspicion of powerful institutions. Slender Man demonstrated that mythology can now be created collaboratively by millions of strangers. The Backrooms transformed the architecture of modern life into the haunted houses of the twenty-first century. And now, The Black-Eyed Children ask perhaps the oldest question of all: Can we still trust what appears familiar? Because every generation creates its own monsters. But the greatest monsters have never been the creatures lurking in the darkness. They've always been the ones standing in the light. Next time on The New Monsters, we investigate one of the strangest pieces of modern cryptid folklore ever captured on camera. A grainy security video from Fresno, California appears to show an impossible figure walking calmly across a suburban lawn. No arms. No visible torso. Just two impossibly long white legs gliding effortlessly through the darkness. Could it be a camera hoax? An elaborate costume? Or the birth of another modern monster? Join us as we investigate The Fresno Nightcrawler.

What happens when women become the monsters of Japanese folklore? In this episode of For the Love of History, we dive into the terrifying world of Japanese yokai women, exploring the myths, legends, religion, and sexism behind some of Japan's most fascinating female monsters. From the Jorōgumo spider woman who lures men into her deadly web, to Hino-enma, the seductive demon associated with female sexuality and Buddhist morality, and the iconic Hannya demon mask, these stories reveal a complicated history of women, power, jealousy, sexuality, and revenge in Japanese folklore. We'll explore Japanese yokai, Japanese mythology, Japanese ghost stories, Shinto, Buddhism, Buddhist hell, Edo-period folklore, Noh theater, and the history behind Japan's most famous female supernatural creatures.

When Legends Turn Deadly is a nearly five-hour Terrifying & True true crime and folklore marathon featuring eight stories about monsters, cultural memory, Spiritualism, murder, extremist violence, and fatal belief. The Hat Man, the Deer Woman, Djinn, the Melonheads, the Fox sisters, the Greenbrier Ghost, the murder of Jeffrey Hall, and the exorcism of Anneliese Michel form one escalating journey from modern nightmare to documented human tragedy. The journey begins between dreaming and waking, where people across cultures report a faceless silhouette in a wide-brimmed hat. Science points to sleep paralysis and suggestion; folklore and online testimony have turned the figure into a modern legend. The Deer Woman then carries a living Indigenous warning about predation and consequence. From there, Djinn traditions reveal what is lost when ancient spiritual beings are reduced to evil genies, while the Melonheads show how regional rumor can transform illness, disability, and exclusion into a monster. The Fox sisters then turn unexplained knocks into modern Spiritualism. The second half crosses into true crime. In 1897 West Virginia, Mary Jane Heaster said the ghost of Zona Heaster Shue revealed her murder. In Riverside, California, a ten-year-old killed his neo-Nazi father, Jeffrey Hall, inside a home saturated with weapons, violence, and hate. In 1976 Bavaria, prolonged exorcisms and abandoned medical care ended with Anneliese Michel dead from malnutrition and dehydration. Together, these cases separate documented history from paranormal claim without draining the fear from either. They ask how stories can protect people, distort a culture, stigmatize outsiders, manipulate believers, expose a crime - or make ordinary warning signs disappear behind absolute certainty. Inside this episode: The Hat Man, sleep paralysis, and a modern nightmare shaped by shared testimony The Deer Woman as warning, consequence, and living Indigenous tradition The Djinn, their place in Middle Eastern and Islamic tradition, and their distortion into evil-genie stereotypes The Melonheads Curse and the way regional folklore transforms abandoned or abused children into monsters The Fox sisters, the Hydesville rappings, and the rise of Spiritualism The Greenbrier Ghost, Zona Heaster Shue, and a West Virginia murder trial The murder of Jeffrey Hall and the effects of racist extremist ideology inside a family home The exorcism and death of Anneliese Michel in Klingenberg, West GermanyDo monsters begin in the dark, or in the explanations we refuse to question?

I'm a little obsessed with Widow's Bay. It's a horror-comedy series on Apple TV set on a fictional island off the coast of Massachusetts. The island isn't as famous as Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket -- for good reason. Widow's Bay is cursed by a demonic entity. The show is nominated for 19 Emmy Awards, including Best Comedy, and I talked with their Emmy nominated production designer, Steve Arnold. We discuss the careful worldbuilding needed to blend horror and comedy, real and fake history, and subtle references to Jaws, The Fog, Halloween, The Shining, Carrie, and other works by Stephen King. We also look at why some of the props on the show became viral hits, like a set of creepy fake board games. We also have an update on our 2022 episode "Monsters in the Static: Why Gen Z Is Afraid of Analog Horror." I talk with digital folklore expert Diane A. Rodgers about why the web series Backrooms became a blockbuster film that resonated with younger fans this summer.

The New Monsters: The Black-Eyed Children - Part Two The Children at the Door They never break in. They never force the door. They simply ask. In the second chapter of The Black-Eyed Children, Branden Morgan investigates one of the most unsettling patterns in modern paranormal folklore. Following journalist Brian Bethel's now- famous encounter in Texas, reports of eerily similar experiences began surfacing across NorthAmerica. Different witnesses. Different cities. Different decades. Yet the stories shared an astonishing number of details. Two children. Late at night. Perfectly polite. An overwhelming sense that something is terribly wrong. And one simple request. "May we come inside?" This week, we examine the remarkable explosion of Black-Eyed Children sightings and the striking consistency that connects hundreds of eyewitness accounts. Why do these mysterious children almost always appear after dark? Why are they so courteous? Why do so many witnesses describe an instinctive feeling of dread before noticing anything physically unusual? And why do the encounters almost always end at a doorway, a car window, or some other symbolic threshold between safety and the unknown? As the investigation unfolds, we discover that this detail may be the key to understanding the entire legend. From ancient Roman beliefs surrounding doorways to Celtic fairy lore, vampire traditions, and centuries of folklore about supernatural beings requiring permission to enter a home, cultures around the world have long treated thresholds as more than simple entrances. They represent theboundary between order and chaos, the familiar and the unknown, hospitality and danger. Could the Black-Eyed Children simply be the latest chapter in one of humanity's oldest stories? Or have they become something entirely new?�Along the way, we explore the fascinating psychology behind intuition, examining why so many witnesses insist they felt overwhelming fear before they ever noticed the children's black, featureless eyes. Is that feeling evidence of something paranormal... or an extraordinary example of the human brain recognizing subtle danger before conscious thought catches up? Whether you believe the encounters are genuine, psychological, or simply modern folklore, one thing becomes impossible to ignore. The legend isn't really about black eyes. It's about the terrifying moment when kindness and self-preservation collide. Next week, The Black-Eyed Children reaches its conclusion as we explore eyewitness testimony, memory, mass suggestion, and the surprising ways modern mythology continues to evolve in an age of smartphones, artificial intelligence, and constant surveillance. We'll ask the question that has lingered beneath every episode of this series: What if the truth behind the legend matters less than the reason we've never stopped telling it?
