Welcome to the very first episode of Tracks of the Damned, the horror film commentary track podcast! Your host Patrick Ripoll opens this venture somewhat inauspiciously with a track for the cult giant monster movie classic The Giant Claw (1957)! Hear as Patrick explains the giant monster movie craze! Witness what a couple hundred dollars and a Mexican puppet factory can accomplish! Marvel at director Fred F. Sears' saving Columbia Pictures thousands of dollars by blanketing a movie with narration instead of paying actors to speak! Also, Patrick answers some listener mail inquiring about his favorite slasher movie kills. You can send all questions, comments and corrections to [email protected]!
