All aboard for another flight into made-for-tv terror on Polyester Airlines as we journey back to the night of December 11, 1973 for the world premiere of the latest ABC Movie of the Week, "THE CAT CREATURE" starring MEREDITH BAXTER ("Family Ties", "All the President's Men"), DAVID HEDISON ("The Fly, "Live and Let Die"), GALE SONDERGAARD ("The Black Cat", "The Time of Their Lives") and STUART WHITMAN ("Night of the Lepus", "Shock Corridor").
After a mysterious Egyptian amulet is stolen from a sarcophagus, everyone who comes into contact with the amulet falls prey to a bloodsucking monster kitty.
Fresh from his sweet summer gig at Fire Island's glamorous Ice Palace, my co-pilot on this ill-advised flight into mummy mania is everyone's favorite undead horror host, UNKLE SPOOKY from "Unkle Spooky's SPOOK-O-RAMA". Follow him on Instagram at @unkle_spooky

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
