Studio 360 gets cozy with the creatures of the night. Kurt Andersen and novelist Anne Rice look at how writers, artists, and filmmakers breathe life into monsters and find out why children morph into monsters in so many horror movies. Plus, we’ll hear a love letter to the suburban tract house and Spalding Gray’s final monologue.
