Classic Movie Monsters | Ep #05
From our laboratory in the castle east -- which has some pretty lousy acoustics -- we bring you the first half of a two-part creature feature on movie monsters. In this installment we stitch together some background on the classic Universal Studios monsters, consult Consumer Reports on the best ways to become a werewolf, and discover that the secret to a good story is a dude who eats flies.
