IT'S OUR PARTY AND WE'LL QUOTE IF WE WANT TO!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, choose their words carefully for one of Monster Party's most beloved games. We're taking the stage for another round of genre film dialogue karaoke that we're calling... QUOTE JAM 2025!!!

Once again, the rules are simple: We each take turns reciting a quote from a horror, science fiction, or fantasy film, and the rest of us must guess the movie in question. But trust us, it can be a lot harder than it sounds.

Ideally, when we play this game, we do our best to deliver the most dramatic reading our humble acting skills can provide. This can often result in a series of shaky actor impersonations that would make Rich Little cringe. Well, cringe no more Monster Partiers, because in this episode, we have a talent who puts the "impress" in impression.

Not only is our guest a gifted improviser and voice actor, but he is also the founder of the historic San Francisco landmark, COBB'S COMEDY CLUB! Please welcome back, the man of a thousand voices... TOM SAWYER!

WITH APOLOGIES TO THE MC5... KICK OUT THE QUOTE JAM!

MONSTER PARTY TOASTS A MODERN MASTER OF THE MACABRE!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD sit at the knee of a literary juggernaut to learn the delicate art of spine-tingling storytelling! Join us as we take a creepy crash course in... WRITING HORROR WITH RICHARD CHRISTIAN MATHESON.

R.C. MATHESON started his career in television, working on such legendary shows as THREE'S COMPANY, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, KNIGHT RIDER, THE A-TEAM, QUINCY, M.E., AMAZING STORIES, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, MASTERS OF HORROR, and the Emmy award-winning NIGHTMARES & DREAMSCAPES: FROM THE STORIES OF STEPHEN KING. As a screenwriter and film producer, his credits include the GENE HACKMAN/DAN AYKROYD comedy LOOSE CANNONS, the horror film IT WAITS, STEPHEN KING'S BIG DRIVER, the werewolf thriller FULL ECLIPSE, and the upcoming French production of the classic RICHARD MATHESON story "The Shrinking Man," L 'HOMME QUI RETRECIT.

In his literary career, R.C. Matheson has authored over 100 short psychological horror stories, which have been featured in numerous anthologies and compiled in the collections SCARS AND OTHER DISTINGUISHING MARKS, DYSTOPIA, and the upcoming ZOOPRAXIS. His other works include the suspense novel CREATED BY, and the Hollywood horror novella, THE RITUAL OF ILLUSION.

Not only is RICHARD CHRISTIAN MATHESON a brilliant, award-winning writer, but as you might have guessed, he also happens to be the son of legendary genre scribe, RICHARD MATHESON (THE TWILIGHT ZONE, I AM LEGEND, HELL HOUSE). RC shared a unique bond with his father, which may lead you to muse, "Why couldn't he have been my dad?"

We know you will enjoy Mr. Matheson's many insights on the creative process, writing for television, finessing screenplays, the art of comedy, utilizing music, navigating the perils of the entertainment industry, and so much more!

SO GET TO LISTENING! THE TALENT OF R.C. MATHESON COMPELS YOU!

MONSTER PARTY SALUTES THE LIFE AND CAREER OF A CREATIVE VISIONARY!

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD celebrate the legendary artist who designed many of the most iconic attractions at Disneyland Theme Parks. But as you’ll soon learn, his work and legacy far surpass the gates of The Magic Kingdom. MONSTER PARTY is proud to present… BOB GURR: TO DISNEYLAND AND BEYOND!!!
