COVER STORY
Monsters
Kurt Andersen talks to novelist Anne Rice about the
mystery and seduction of monsters across movies, art, and literature.
  Creepy
Kids
Hollywood has explored every kind of monster - including
the monster child. There are more movies about kids turning into monsters
than you might think. And two film critics, Julian Cornell, a professor
of cinema studies at NYU film school, and Owen Gleiberman, a film critic
for Entertainment Weekly, tell us why. Produced by Jocelyn Gonzales.

 Iron
Monsters
There's a tradition of crafting monsters that
was refined in the 19th century, but it began many centuries earlier.
Studio 360's Peter Clowney went to meet some iron gargoyles and their
makers at a new show at the Rosenbach Museum and library in Philadelphia.

 Golliwog
One of the most persistent racist images in
American culture is one that you may not be able to name. It's a doll,
called a Golliwog, and it has haunted the artist Damali Ayo for a long
time.

Bronx Charter School for the Arts.
An innovative primary school in one of New York City's poorest neighborhoods
just opened this fall. Its students learn the basics -- math, reading,
history, and science -- but all through the prism of art, music, literature,
and performance. Studio 360 asked Alicia Zuckerman to pay regular visits
to the elementary school to see how its first year unfolds.
