It finally happened! The Monster Men took a deep dive into one of the horror community's most influential shows - Kolchak: The Night Stalker. From Stephen King to the X-Files, this short-lived show (and 2 TV movies) inspired more scares than anything before or after. We are joined by our good friend, author Terry M. West sporting a genuine Kolchak hat, as we break down both movies, every episode of the single season run, behind the scenes trivia, as well as books and comics devoted to our favorite reporter and the monsters he encounters. If you're a fan of Kolchak, this edition of the INS news is hot off the presses for you.

Who doesn't love OG Full Moon flicks? The tiny terrors ofPuppet Master. The bloody dread of the Subspecies series. The sexy interspecias lovemaking in Meridian. The campy fun of Demonic Toys. This time around, we're joined by author and horror maven Matt Serafini to indulge in some of our video store favorites. Full Moon made a lot of the movies that made us what we are today. We also discuss Matt's latest, much anticipated release, Feeders, and the twisted state of social media today. Feeders will be available wherever books are sold on May 20th!
