LET'S SCARE KIM NEWMAN TO DEATH: HIDDEN HORROR GEMS OF THE 70S!!! With KIM NEWMAN!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, invite a revered British horror scholar to share the mic, and talk about a beloved era of horror cinema. MONSTER PARTY presents a special "across the pond" episode that we've playfully titled... LET'S SCARE KIM NEWMAN TO DEATH: HIDDEN HORROR GEMS OF THE 70S!!!
If you're a monster kid and are not aware of KIM NEWMAN, this is the moment when your life gets back on track. Mr. Newman is an award-winning journalist, film critic, and author, whose works include the immensely popular ANNO DRACULA series of novels, the essential horror cinema book, NIGHTMARE MOVIES, and the upcoming yuletide novella, A CHRISTMAS GHOST STORY!
Kim has also worked as a film critic for EMPIRE, ROTTEN TOMATOES, VENUE, VIDEO WATCHDOG, and SIGHT AND SOUND, and has provided a slew of MONSTER PARTY endorsed commentaries for many of their favorite films.
Of course, we're barely scratching the surface of Kim Newman's accomplishments, so for more information about this MONSTER PARTY hero, check out THE KIM NEWMAN WEBSITE at johnnyalucard.com!
Oh, and in case you're wondering how MONSTER PARTY came up with the provocative title for this episode, one of Kim's favorite horror films is the classic 70s vampire film, LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH. So what better way to honor our guest than with a Jessi-centric play on words? Aren't we clever?
WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS HEARTFELT EXAMINATION OF HORROR FILMS FROM WHAT IS ARGUABLY THE GOLDEN AGE OF CINEMA. AND TO JESSICA'S LOVED ONES, WE OFFER OUR CONDOLENCES.

Die-no-mite! Another great episode and I hope Team Monster Party is having a blast at Monsterpalooza! And of course, I had to watch SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH before diving into this episode! And zero surprise, but yet another fascinating guest, and I will absolutely be picking up “A Christmas Ghost Story” by Mr. Newman this holiday! As always, I get an endorphin rush every time you all mention a movie I’ve seen, like MESSIAH OF EVIL, and especially, EQUINOX, which, believe or not, may have been my older brother Paul’s favorite movie of all time. Monster Party has touched on deeper, life-stuff before, so I’m uninhibited to mention what a fan Paul was of the horror genre that you all speak so eloquently and passionately about. These are movies that, for me, are a relatively new interest, and I wish my brother was still around for us to discuss them and bond over. Alas, life happens and cheers. Added to my must-see list from this episode, among others: THE HOUSE OF NIGHTMARE PARK, THE POSSESSION OF JOEY DELANY, GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE (David Chase, what?), INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS, QUATERMASS AND THE PITT, and sort of random, WELCOME TO ARROW BEACH. Oh, and of course, “Red Title Day” from the British play series “Amazing Stories.” Thank you Kim Newman! Thank you Monster Party! Have fun at Monsterpalooza!
