Monster Kid Radio #381 - Michael Legge and The Crime of Dr. Crespi

Edgar August Poe kicks off with a film featuring one of the icons of classic horror - Dwight Frye - as well as a director who would probably never be caught dead, or undead, directing a monster movie but he did act in this one - Erich von Stroheim. It's 1935's The Crime of Dr. Crespi (dir. John H. Auer), and Derek has Michael Legge (aka Dr. Dreck) to thank for bringing this fun kinda-sorta-Poe-adaptation(?) into his life. Plus Jeff Polier's Weird Wednesday Report, and a new segment from Ken Blose about Famous Monsters of Filmland!
