BRAINS!
Tonight’s feature film, 1985’s RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD, was the first in the zombie genre to feature the undead sons of bitches feasting on the human intelligence center. From writer/director Dan O’Bannon (ALIEN, TOTAL RECALL) and author James A. Russo (NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD) comes a mordant punk horror/comedy that was a critical and financial success.
Clu Gulager (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 2: FREDDY’S REVENGE), James Karen (POLTERGEIST) and Don Calfa (WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S) lead a cast that includes Linnea Quigley (SORORITY BABES IN THE SLIMEBALL BOWL-O-RAMA), one of the all time great B-movie screamers.
Thrills! Chills! Naked graveyard dancing! Nuclear annihilation! This one has it all and it’s even set to a punk rock soundtrack!
Join Dan and Faith for a look back at this classic zombie film, check out the WAYBACK MACHINE, and make sure to stay tuned for all the fake news not fit to print. Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up and get ready to howl at the moon, its time for the LATE NIGHT FRIGHT!

WATCH HORROR FILMS, KEEP AMERICA STRONG!
Those were the words of the legendary Bob Wilkins, host of CREATURE FEATURES, the influential show that ran in the Bay Area from 1971 to 1984. As we find ourselves in the midst of the 2020 election season, THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT has taken these words to heart. Say it with us: WATCH HORROR FILMS, KEEP AMERICA STRONG!
Tonight we journey back through the mists of time to a land of coffee houses, the Lilith Fair, and Oval Office hummers. That time is the 90s. The film is 1998’s URBAN LEGEND from director Jamie Blanks (VALENTINE) and writer Silvio Horta (UGLY BETTY), a film that arrived in the wake of SCREAM and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, two movies that ignited the horror renaissance of the mid to late nineties.
On the campus of a northeast college, a series of murders modeled after urban legends are taking place. Who is next? Who is the killer? Why does Joshua Jackson have blonde hair? These are just a few of the questions that lie at the heart of the movie!
The cast includes Oscar winner Jared Leto (DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, SUICIDE SQUAD), Alicia Witt (DUNE, TWIN PEAKS), Rebecca Gayheart (ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD), Joshua Jackson (DAWSON’S CREEK), Loretta Devine (WAITING TO EXHALE), Tara Reid (AMERICAN PIE, VAN WILDER), Michael Rosenbaum (SMALLVILLE, BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE), and horror legend Robert Englund (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA).
Join Dan and Faith for a look back at URBAN LEGEND and make sure to stay up date with all of the fake news not fit to print in the WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio news update! Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up and get ready to howl at the moon, it’s time for THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT!

Did a naked American man steal your balloons? If so, this is the movie for you!
From writer/director John Landis (NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE, THE BLUES BROTHERS) comes THE monster movie, AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON! From the moonlit moors of England to Picadilly Circle, this classic horror film follows the story of David Kessler (David Naughton), an American backpacking through Europe who is soon to become a rampaging beast. Griffin Dunne (AFTER HOURS, ADDICTED TO LOVE) co-stars as Jack Goodman, David's best (and undead) friend, and Jenny Agutter (LOGAN'S RUN) stars as Alice, the nurse that takes him in.
This film was the recipient of the 1981 Oscar for Best Makeup. The creature effects by Rick Baker are outstanding, the score by Elmer Bernstein is minimal, and the story is timeless, rooted firmly in the tradition of the Universal monster movies.

What if Superman was a real guy? That's the question at the center of M. Night Syamalan's 2000 film UNBREAKABLE starring Bruce Willis (DIE HARD, THE SIXTH SENSE) and Samuel L. Jackson (PULP FICTION, MARVEL'S THE AVENGERS).
UNBREAKABLE was Shyamalan's follow up to his Oscar nominated film THE SIXTH SENSE and was slightly misunderstood upon its release. Despite its poor marketing campaign and unfair comparisons to THE SIXTH SENSE, the 2000 film has aged beautifully and is a wonderful dissertation on the comic book film.
Join Dan and Faith for a look back at this film that was ahead of its time and stay tuned for the top 5 Bruce Willis movies list, the Wayback Machine, a tribute to Wilford Brimley, (THE THING) and as always, all the fake news not fit to print!
