Montgomery is now serving as the host for Gibson TV’s new series “Metal and Monsters,” a fantastic show that explores the history of both metal music and the horror genre. Each episode features two guests, for example, the premiere episode (watch here) sees Montgomery sit down with Robert Englund and master of metal, Don Dokken to talk about A Nightmare on Elm Street and Dokken’s band.
