Hollywood filmmaker Sam Irvin (director of ELVIRA’S HAUNTED HILLS) looks back at his outrageously charmed and hilarious life as a closeted gay monster kid who created his own fanzine as a way to meet and interview his horror film idols.
We talk about his new book, I Was a Teenage Monster Hunter!: How I Met Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, & More! and discuss the queerness of horror.

What a treat!
New video! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Cool!
Thanks so much! Love your channel !
This is incredible! Thank you! 🖤💀
Great interview for pride month obviously. I don't know if you've been told this often, but you are an excellent interviewer, and one of your greatest skills is the degree to which you just listen and let your subject speak and follow them wherever they go. It seems obvious and easy, but it is clearly neither as evidenced by the preponderance of interviewers who fail at it
Vincent price. Number one horror icon from Missouri. Go battlehawks!
Also, happy corpo month. May the rainbow merch sacrifice be acceptable.
Sam is so generous here! This is great!
Dante's Cove has been so important to me, I'm forever grateful! 💛
Wonderful interview
Yay 🙌 Sam made the trip so much more special and memorable! Thank you!!
Wow, how cool!
Absolutely brilliant interview. One of the best interviews I’ve seen on YouTube yet. Well done you ( and Sam, of course. ) I too am a big fan of classic gothic horror. Blessings,❤.
Very interesting interview! Thank you very much for this! 🖤
Thanks so much for this.
Wow. "Frankenstein: a True Story" sounds like it was everything we had hoped that the AMC version of IwtV would be. 🙂
I'll have to come back and finish watching, but I'm enjoying it so far.
I adore you 😍
Good afternoon, Ms. Maven.
0:14 Camera's still stalking you, I see.
Nice interview. I'm not familiar with Mr. Irvin, but he seemed a natural conversationalist.
Best to you and your loved ones.
am i the only one who thinks your Vampire Vlogs or some new form of reviews should make a comeback,
I really think it would help with the algorythm if there would be more videos, aswell es some on topics which are more current. like the Renfield Movie now. I love your Videos on some more obscure Movies, but I realy think it would be helpfull with videos that are more quantity inbetween
Why I didn't know of Dante's cove before!?… maybe because I live in Italy…
Great interview! 💚🦇🧛🏻
I wasn't expecting Oblivion 1 and 2 to come up. How lovely. What a nice hangout movie Oblivion 2 was, as in everyone from the first movie seemed to be just hanging out for the course of it.
Another great watch. I love making and watching interview videos.l!
What a lot of fun that was! I hope that Sam Irvin will have another book to plug in the not too distant future so that you can interview him again.
