Gibson TV, the iconic, American instrument brand’s award-winning, worldwide online network features a new original series about music and culture from the world’s best storytellers. Today, Gibson TV announced the premiere of the brand new original series “Metal And Monsters,” the network’s first show dedicated to the worlds of both heavy metal and monster culture.

Throughout the 60 minute episodes of “Metal And Monsters,” viewers are treated to different segments that explore the worlds of heavy metal, film, and tales from the dark side.

“Metal And Monsters” is hosted by Matt “Count D” Montgomery — bassist for King Freak himself, musician, and filmmaker Rob Zombie. Count D has been a staple of the Zombie band and live show for the last 16 years and will share his deep knowledge of music and film with metal and monster fans worldwide.

In the first episode of “Metal and Monsters,” Count D takes us to Elm Street as he reunites Robert Englund, aka Freddy Krueger, and Don Dokken of the heavy metal band Dokken to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of the film A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. Dokken wrote the song “Dream Warriors” for the movie A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors and it was released as a single from the film and also appeared on Dokken’s album Back for the Attack. Featuring never before seen photos from the “Dream Warriors” video shoot which features Freddy Krueger as well as clips from the film, Robert and Don share stories from their musical influences, to behind-the-scenes tales of one of the most successful horror franchises in film history.

Filmed on location in downtown Los Angeles, the backdrop for “Metal and Monsters” is the historic 2,000 seat Los Angeles Theatre. Constructed in 1930, Charlie Chaplin helped fund the completion of the building so it would be ready to premiere his film City Lights in January of 1931. After closing its doors in 1994, the Los Angeles Theatre sat vacant for many years until serving as a film and television location for productions including “Man on The Moon,” Charlie’s Angels,” “Mad Men,” and “The Lords of Salem.”
