You are listening to the LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, broadcasting live every Monday right here on WKMF Cozy Corner Public Radio!

Today is January 25th, 2021 and this is the 199th edition of THE LATE NIGHT FRIGHT, the only show available on Laserdisc and in Betamax. January has been dedicated to pitting films with similar themes against one another and tonight's show features two horror tinged, late 90s comic adaptations: 1997's SPAWN and 1998's BLADE.

SPAWN stars Michael Jai White as the titular hero, John Leguizamo as the villainous Clown, and Martin Sheen as the treasonous Jason Wynn. Based on the comic by Todd McFarlane, SPAWN boasts (at the time) cutting edge special effects. Will it be enough to overcome the bad assery that is 1998's BLADE? Wesley Snipes stars as the daywalker known as Blade alongside Stephen Dorff as Deacon Frost and Kris Kristofferson as Whistler.
