Monster Kid Radio's look at The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (dir. Nathan Juran) continues with author Stephen D. Sullivan. Ray Harryhausen's work left a lasting impression on film, and Derek and Steve further discuss how Harryhausen has influenced today's mediamakers. Also, future guest Scott Morris (from 1951 Down Plan and Disney, Indiana) tests out the new segment, The Classic Five, and Derek look at what he's been wathching lately when he talks about Mr. Sardonicus (dir. William Castle) and Things to Come (dir. William Cameron Menzies). (This weeks' episode art is provided by Stephen D. Sullivan - they're covers from his books!)

Yes, there was a William Castle gimmick with Mr. Sardonicus. The story was halted near the end and the audience could vote whether Sardonicus would live or die. Castle claimed to have two endings filmed, but it seems likely that Castle realized the bloodthirsty kids would always choose death for Sardonicus and filmed only that ending.
