WATCH HORROR FILMS, KEEP AMERICA STRONG!
Those were the words of the legendary Bob Wilkins, host of CREATURE FEATURES, the influential show that ran in the Bay Area from 1971 to 1984. As we find ourselves in the midst of the 2020 election season, THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT has taken these words to heart. Say it with us: WATCH HORROR FILMS, KEEP AMERICA STRONG!
Tonight we journey back through the mists of time to a land of coffee houses, the Lilith Fair, and Oval Office hummers. That time is the 90s. The film is 1998’s URBAN LEGEND from director Jamie Blanks (VALENTINE) and writer Silvio Horta (UGLY BETTY), a film that arrived in the wake of SCREAM and I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, two movies that ignited the horror renaissance of the mid to late nineties. 
On the campus of a northeast college, a series of murders modeled after urban legends are taking place. Who is next? Who is the killer? Why does Joshua Jackson have blonde hair? These are just a few of the questions that lie at the heart of the movie! 
The cast includes Oscar winner Jared Leto (DALLAS BUYERS CLUB, SUICIDE SQUAD), Alicia Witt (DUNE, TWIN PEAKS), Rebecca Gayheart (ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD), Joshua Jackson (DAWSON’S CREEK), Loretta Devine (WAITING TO EXHALE), Tara Reid (AMERICAN PIE, VAN WILDER), Michael Rosenbaum (SMALLVILLE, BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE), and horror legend Robert Englund (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA).
Join Dan and Faith for a look back at URBAN LEGEND and make sure to stay up date with all of the fake news not fit to print in the WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio news update! Pour yourself a cup of coffee, put your feet up and get ready to howl at the moon, it’s time for THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT!
