MONSTER ATTACK!

MONSTER ATTACK!

MONSTER ATTACK! is a podcast dedicated to old “Monster Movies,” the ones we all grew up and fell in love with. These are the films that opened up a new world of scary creatures, sci-fi wonders and frightening tales of the supernatural. Former radio personality Jim Adams re-visits a time when radioactive dinosaurs threatened Tokyo, werewolves terrorized the population at large and mad scientists conducted hideous experiments in large mansions.
