Welcome to the LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, broadcasting every Monday from WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio right here in the United States of America! Whether you are a vampire, spook, specter, beast, alien envoy from Planet X or an inter-dimensional traveler, we invite each and every one of you to pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up, and howl at the moon.
Today is February 1st, 2021 and this is the 200th edition of THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT. It is also the two year anniversary of the program. It all started with a look back at Wes Craven's 1996 meta-slasher masterpiece SCREAM and tonight finds us journeying back to the original house of horror, Universal Studios, for a look back at two pictures from their legendary run in the 1930's and 1940's: THE BLACK CAT starring Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, and HOUSE OF DRACULA starring Lon Chaney, Jr. and John Carradine.
Dan and Faith are your hosts for thrills, chills, and all the fake news not fit to print!
See you in Cozy Corner!

You are listening to the LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, broadcasting live every Monday right here on WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio!
Today is January 25th, 2021 and this is the 199th edition of THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, the only show available on Laserdisc and in Betamax. January has been dedicated to pitting films with similar themes against one another and tonight's show features two horror tinged, late 90s comic adaptations: 1997's SPAWN and 1998's BLADE.
SPAWN stars Michael Jai White as the titular hero, John Leguizamo as the villainous Clown, and Martin Sheen as the treasonous Jason Wynn. Based on the comic by Todd McFarlane, SPAWN boasts (at the time) cutting edge special effects. Will it be enough to overcome the bad assery that is 1998's BLADE? Wesley Snipes stars as the daywalker known as Blade alongside Stephen Dorff as Deacon Frost and Kris Kristofferson as Whistler.

Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up and get ready to howl at the moon because we have a terrifying one for you this evening!
January is dedicated to pitting films against one another with similar themes. Tonight's films are both remakes of classic slasher films in the horror canon.
First up is 2006's BLACK CHRISTMAS, a remake of the 1974 Bob Clark proto-slasher classic. Katie Cassidy (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET remake, ARROW), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (DEATH PROOF, THE THING), Michelle Tratchenberg (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, EUROTRIP), Lacey Chabert (MEAN GIRLS, PARTY OF FIVE) and Andrea Martin (the original BLACK CHRISTMAS, SCTV, MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING) star in this offering to the horror gods from writer/director Glen Morgan (WILLARD remake).
Tonight's second film is 2008's remake of the 1980 Jamie Lee Curtis classic PROM NIGHT from director Nelson McCormack ( THE STEPFATHER remake, PRISON BREAK). An obsessed former teacher (Johnathon Schaech, THAT THING YOU DO, LEGENDS OF TOMORROW) has escaped from prison and is stalking his high school crush (Brittany Snow, PITCH PERFECT trilogy, HAIRSPRAY). Scott Porter (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS), Jessica Stroup (TED) and Idris Elba (THOR trilogy, STAR TREK BEYOND) costar.
Tonight's films are being rated in four categories: overall film, killer, victims/kills and does it hold a candle to the original. In lieu of stars, BLACK CHRISTMAS will be awarded obscene phone calls and PROM NIGHT will be awarded tiaras.
Commercials include spots for The Evangelical Vegan, Cozy Corner's premier vegan restaurant and a vintage spot for Time Life's Mysteries Of The Unknowns book series. Also included are the film's original theatrical trailers.
As always, be sure to stay tuned for all the fake news not fit to print!

January is conflict resolution month. Dan and Faith are working for the horror HR department, pitting films with similar mojos against one another in an effort to determine which one has more...mojo.
The two entrants in tonight's contest are both fifth parts in hallowed franchises featuring iconic slashers from the year 1989. First up is Robert Englund in A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5: THE DREAM CHILD, a film that finds Freddy Krueger trying to re-enter the world through the dreams of an unborn child. The next film is HALLOWEEN 5: THE REVENGE OF MICHAEL MYERS starring the one and only Donald Pleasance as Dr. Loomis.
Two iconic series. Two iconic slashers. Only on can be victorious. Tune in to find out who the winner is and make sure to stick around for all the fake news not fit to print!

The end is here and the end is near!
Welcome to the LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, broadcasting live from WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio right here in the United States of America. Today is December 28th, 2020 and you are listening to the 197th edition of the only show available on Betamax and Laserdisc.
Our month long celebration of the films of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee concludes with a Christopher Lee solo adventure, 1968's DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE from the Hammer house of horror. Lee makes his third appearance as Dracula in a film that finds the resurrected count seeking revenge on a monsignor who dared to exorcise his castle.
We paired Lee's Dracula film with Universal's 1943 film SON OF DRACULA starring Lon Chaney. The Southern gothic horror flick from the original house of horror is an interesting misfire.
Commercials include spots for Gwynnie Goop, lady lawyer, season's greetings from WKMF, Madame Hill's JuJu Emporium and the Kaiju Report with Yoshi Yokohoma. As always, stay tuned for all the fake news not fit to print!

Happy holidays and welcome to Cozy Corner! You are listening to THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, broadcasting live from WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio. Thank you all for tuning in, be you a carbon based life form from spaceship Earth, or an astral traveler from a dimension yet to be discovered. Welcome one and all!
Tonight’s episode is the 196th edition of THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT and was broadcast on December 21st, 2020. Tonight’s episode continues our month long celebration of the films of two of horror’s most revered names: Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The Hammer house of horror was built on 1957’s THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, starring Cushing as Baron Frankenstein and Lee as the creature, and 1958’s DRACULA (released as HORROR OF DRACULA in the United States), which featured Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing and Lee in his iconic role as Count Dracula. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee would go on to appear in 22 films together and remained the closest of friends for the rest of their lives.
Tonight’s first film is a 1964 gem from the Hammer house of horror, THE GORGON, an atmospheric creature feature that reunites Cushing and Lee with director Terence Fisher (THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA, THE MUMMY). The film also features Barbara Shelley and an excellent score from James Bernard, who had previously provided the music for both THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA.
The next film is HORROR EXPRESS, a British/Spanish production from 1972 that is a riff on John Campbell’s classic sci-fi novella WHO GOES THERE, the story that would become the basis for THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD and John Carpenter’s 1982 masterpiece THE THING.
Tonight’s sponsors include Reverend Rieger’s Old Time Religion, Cozy Corner After Dark, Junior’s Hoedown, and the Church Under The Bridge (located under the bridge downtown). Be sure to tune in for all the fake news not fit to print!

Welcome to the 195th episode of the LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, broadcasting live from WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio. Thank you all for tuning in, be you a carbon based life form from spaceship Earth, or an astral traveler from a dimension yet to be discovered. Welcome one and all!
Tonight’s episode for December 14th, 2020 begins our month long celebration of the films of two of horror’s most revered names: Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The Hammer house of horror was built on 1957’s THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, starring Cushing as Baron Frankenstein and Lee as the creature, and 1958’s DRACULA (released as HORROR OF DRACULA in the United States), which featured Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing and Lee in his iconic role as Count Dracula. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee would go on to appear in 22 films together and remained the closest of friends for the rest of their lives.
Peter Cushing scored the first lead film role of his career with Hammer’s gothic retelling of Mary Shelley’s classic story FRANKENSTEIN in 1957’s THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN from director Terence Fisher and writer Jimmy Sangster. Cushing portrays the callous Baron Frankenstein, a brilliantly vile and callous genius who brings life to the creature played by Christopher Lee.
Lee has the title role in 1959’s THE MUMMY, another Hammer updating of a Universal classic. Cushing is once again paired with Lee and the creative team of director Fisher and writer Sangster returns behind the camera.
Tonight’s commercials include spots for the Dark Depository, Antoine Duplaix’s psychic services, the Cozy Corner mall, and season’s greetings from WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio.

Welcome to the 194th episode of the LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, broadcasting live from WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio. Thank you all for tuning in, be you a carbon based life form from spaceship Earth, or an astral traveler from a dimension yet to be discovered. Welcome one and all!
Tonight’s episode for December 7th, 2020 begins our month long celebration of the films of two of horror’s most revered names: Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The Hammer house of horror was built on 1957’s THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, starring Cushing as Baron Frankenstein and Lee as the creature, and 1958’s DRACULA (released as HORROR OF DRACULA in the United States), which featured Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing and Lee in his iconic role as Count Dracula. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee would go on to appear in 22 films together and remained the closest of friends for the rest of their lives.
Peter Cushing has the spotlight tonight in 1960’s THE BRIDES OF DRACULA from Hammer Films. The first sequel to DRACULA finds the good doctor back in Transylvania battling a handsome vampire by the name of Baron Meinster (David Peel) who has his sights set on lovely school teacher Marianne Danielle (Yvonne Monlaur). Directed by legendary horror director Terence Fisher (THE CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN, DRACULA, THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES, THE MUMMY) and filmed beautifully by director of photography Jack Asher, THE BRIDES OF DRACULA is a thrilling and chilling Gothic vampire film and a worthy sequel to its landmark predecessor.
We have paired THE BRIDES OF DRACULA with another sequel to a landmark film. Five years after Bela Lugosi terrified audiences in Universal’s classic 1931 production of DRACULA, moviegoers were treated to 1936’s DRACULA’S DAUGHTER from director Lambert Hillyer (1945’s 15 part BATMAN serial). The film is a direct sequel to its predecessor and features a return appearance from Edward Van Sloan (DRACULA, FRANKENSTEIN, THE MUMMY) as Van Helsing alongside Otto Kruger (an apt name for a horror movie lead, don’t you think), Gloria Holden as the title character, Marguerite Churchill, and Irving Pichel. Released during Universal’s golden age run as the original house of horror, DRACULA’S DAUGHTER is a worthy entry in the canon, featuring all of the thrills, chills and atmosphere one expects from a classic Universal horror film.
Tonight’s commercials include spots for Farmer Felcher’s Old Fashioned Gluten, Holy Smoke (Cozy Corner’s premier Christian vape shop), Rumps Adult Novelty and Soda Fountain, and Hammer Curlz, an exciting new workout program hosted by the one and only Bobby D’Amato (host of AFTERGLOW, the show that comes on after THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT).
