Spooktoberfest is in the rearview mirror, but we’ve taken a wrong turn into much more sinister territory. Selected for your listening displeasure is 1976’s Track of the Moon Beast, a creature feature mentioned only briefly in bad movie folktales. A shirtless mineralogist named Paul is struck by a lunar meteorite, a microscopic fragment of which becomes lodged in his head. Every night from that point on, when exposed to moonlight, Paul transforms into a reptilian monster and goes on a murderous rampage. Paul’s friend Johnny Longbow, an anthropology professor and lister of stew ingredients, is recruited by the local sheriff to help him solve this very simple mystery. Also present is the photographer Kathy, who falls deeply in love with Paul in spite of his nightly lizard-outs. Legends speak of a similar reptilian creature that appeared centuries earlier, claiming many lives before randomly exploding. Is Paul doomed to meet the same fiery end? Or will Kathy’s love and Johnny’s bored indifference be enough to finally defeat the Moon Beast? Make sure your monitor lizard is locked up, schedule an appointment with a very sad doctor, and tune your tiny television set to today’s badly lit episode of Anime Was (Not) A Mistake!
