Monsters From The Basement's Podcast Monsters From The Basement I have always been a huge fan of horror movies. All the old Universal Classics like Dracula, The Wolfman, The Creature From The Black Lagoon and the stars Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney and all the others. I started this website and podcast last year as a tribute to all thing horror. I am also a big fan of the horror host Marlena Midnite, Robyn Graves, Dr Gangrene and the list goes on. I love going to horror conventions and interviewing the stars for the podcast. I have talked with Priscilla Barnes, Bill Mosley, Danielle Harris, Kathleen Kinmont and many others. I hope you enjoy the interviews I have posted and please visit the website as well.http://monstersfromthebasement.com Black Filmmaker Guide Christopher Murray The Black Filmmaker Guide: PODCAST features unscripted conversations from black filmmakers within the industry and empowers listeners through the knowledge of their journey.
