Today is a good day! My advance copies of the 1963 classic The Haunting just arrived, featuring Monster Talk audio commentary. I’m excited to finally see this one in my hands. It’s a beautifully eerie film, and an absolute honor to be part of this project. 👻📀

On this week’s episode of Monster Talk we discuss the classic creature the Loup Garou. www.monstertalk.org

It was such a thrill to not only produce this restoration of the greatest haunted house film ever made, having Tracy Letts and @seanfennessey.bsky.social contribute a commentary made it absolutely incredible! Hope you all love what they had to say as much as I did.

And you’ll also have a blast listening to the amazing Dr. @karenstollznow.bsky.social and her team from MonsterTalk discuss all things mostly ghostly! Sorry, Karen! I ran out of space in the original post! 🖤

Happy May! I’ve shared a new Patreon post with recent articles and an update on Beyond Words (out June 4). Come take a look! www.patreon.com/posts/beyond...
