On the October 31, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we celebrate Halloween with two of the stars of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” Patricia Quinn and Nell Campbell. They both appeared in the original stage production and the movie, as castle maid Magenta and the tap-dancing Columbia respectively.
Then, we’ll spend some time with horror maestro Guillermo Del Toro, director of movies you love like Academy Award winning “The Shape of Water,” “Pan’s Labyrinth,” “The Devil’s Backbone,” “Pacific Rim” and many more. In a conversation we recorded nine years ago, we talk about why he is drawn to the horror genre, why children play such large roles in his films and much more.
Land finally, I recommend “Let Me In,” a great vampire movie you may not have seen… something fun to watch this weekend. We’ll also meet the director, Matt Reeves, who’ll talk about the movie and why we get scared when we go to the movies.

I literally wrote the book (check it out here) about this controversial 1971 Ken Russell film. Banned and censored in its initial release, the story of 17th-century priest accused of witchcraft by a sexually repressed nun has hasn’t been seen in its original form for decades.
Until now.
The new 4k restoration, which debuted in Cannes this year, is breathtaking. Provocative, it’s a thing of terrible beauty that demands a reaction. It’s a testament to Russell’s vision that 55 years after it was originally released in theatres, it will likely be the most transgressive movie of the year.
Read all about it in the New York Times article “In 1971, This Film Was a Scandal. In 2026, It’s a Respected Period Piece” by Ben Kenigsberg HERE!
