Classic Horrors Club

EP 18: Those Pesky Flies! by The Classic Horrors Club Podcast

On this day (April 22) in 1894, Rondo Hatton was born in Hagerstown, Maryland.  On this day (April 22) in 2018, Jeff and Richard celebrate his birthday by discussing his life and legacy.

First we review his final three movies: The Spider Woman Strikes Back, House of Horrors, and The Brute Man.  Then, we discuss the nominees for this year's Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards.  Although the winners have already been announced (click here to see them), there are a lot of amazing people and projects to feature.  If nothing else, it's a holiday shopping list eight months early!

It's time for our monthly meeting, but we're squeezing in a bonus episode!  Jeff tells Richard all about his trip to Los Angeles to attend "50 Years of Planet of the Apes" at the USC School of Cinematic Arts.  He shares audio recorded at the panel, "Legacy of the Planet of the Apes," following a 50th anniversary screening of the original Planet of the Apes, which was released in theaters all across the country on April 3, 1968.

Hear stories about production from two men who were there:  makeup artist Dan Striepeke and art director William Creber!  Hear comments about his childhood obsession from Matt Reeves, director of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes.  And hear standup comedy from Dr. Zaius!  (Huh?  Yeah, you gotta listen!)

All that and "New Business," the birthdays and anniversaries we monster kids celebrate in April; plus, home video releases and the "TV Terror Guide."
