    Does anybody remember that show, it was probably the best thing to come out of Canada ever, and Vincent Price was in it. I remember it from when I was a really young kid in the 80's and it probably helped to solidify my love of Monsters.

    Anyways you should check out the new Rue Morgue Magazine there is a great interview with Billy Van (done shortly before he died) who played most of the characters on the show.

    And there is a DVD out now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Skylar if you haven't picked up this issue already you really should because your favorite director Uwe Boll has an interview in it as well, and it recaps his boxing match in September where he annihilated 3 of his critics.

    I used to watch this show with my dad on Sunday mornings...

    It's on the Space Channel as well as either the Drive-In (b movie channel) or Scream channel. I can't say i like it as much now, but i can understand the impact it made on so many people. Apparently due to licensing, the wolfman parts are cut out, but i haven't seen this to be sure or not.

    Yeah it sounds like they definitely couldn't use some of the wolfman clips but I think they were able to clear some songs. Supposedly Michael Jackson wanted way too much money for one of the songs that he owns, fucking prick.

    I saw in the magazine that it was on the Space channel but I haven't looked it up yet.

    Yeah, I definitely have more respect for him now, he sounds like a pretty funny guy.

    I can't believe I missed that fight, it was like 5 minutes away from my house!!

    I think it's totally cool and ballsy of Rue Morgue to give that guy an interview when so many people hate him. it shows they don't just cover whatever is popular within horror culture, but rather what they want to cover, including the other side of the story behind a director that lots of people hate.

    I think a lot of people do go online and bash him (and lots of people for that matter) without really even seeing their films or giving them a chance or anything. not that I'm saying his movies are good, but I just think lots of horror fans are closed minded and don't give a shit about anything that isn't some new Halloween movie or loaded with gore. people read he sucks somewhere else so then in their mind he sucks, without even finding out for themselves.
