On the newest episode of The Night Crew podcast, hosts Thom Carnell (Fangoria, Dread Central) and Sean “The Butcher” Smithson (Fangoria, Twitch) discuss some of the latest films they’ve been watching, Andrew Mack returns with the Twitch News of the Week, and Phillip Nutman, aka “The World’s Most Unlikely Cowboy”, rides in to show some love for The Professionals.

And in an exclusive interview Hollywood expert and devout “Monster Kid” author David Del Valle stops by to talk about his new book, Lost Horizons Beneath the Hollywood Sign, dish up memories, and toss some divine dirt around about his time spent in the presence of some of the greats of moviedom.

In Lost Horizons Beneath the Hollywood Sign, David Del Valle (writer, curator, collector, and Hollywood historian) takes you on a first-person tour of the man-made Shangri La beneath the Hollywood sign, ultimately descending into the smog-shrouded netherworld of Lost Horizons. His candid recollections prove to be a celebration of contrasts, as David hangs out with the reigning pop culture icons of the day: Timothy Leary, Christopher Isherwood, Terry Southern, and Kenneth Anger. David maintained a life-long passion for those artisans that created the horror genre. He grew up as a monster-watching kid of the 1950s, watching those films unfold on television, and his interactions with genre personalities like Vampira, John Carradine, Christopher Lee, and Barbara Steele testify to his devotion to their legacy.

The book also delves into his long relationships with Vincent Price and Curtis Harrington during twenty-five years of living in Beverly Hills, as well as unforgettable moments such as introducing Hermione Baddeley to the avant-garde filmmaker Rainer Fassbinder in a West Hollywood leather bar while Martha Raye searched her purse for poppers. Ken Russell, one of David’s favorite directors, was fond of reminding David that “every day in Tinseltown is Halloween.” Enter the realm of LOST HORIZONS and discover that you are no longer a tourist. You are now one of the attractions.
