THE MIDNIGHT MATINEE - "Valdemar" - Based On The Story By Poe (Ep 23-8)

THE MIDNIGHT MATINEE - "Valdemar" - Based On The Story By Poe (Ep 23-8) “Valdemar“ stars the voice talents of Jennifer Rouse as “Elmira Valdemar”, J.R. Lyston as “Ernest Valdemar” and Mark Redfield as “Harlan Hurlock”. The production was written and directed by Mark Redfield, inspired by a story by Edgar Allan Poe. Original Music and Sound Design by Jennifer Rouse. Redfield takes his inspiration for the script from the Edgar Allan Poe short story “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar”, and sets his story in a dreamlike urban city in the early 20th century. A world where the rich and pampered collide with the side-show carnival huckster and con-man. A world where the greedy and selfish fall victim to their own desires, with horrifying consequences. For no man, or woman, can truly escape death… Poe's original story “The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar”, from which this audio play is inspired, was published in 1845. A work of horror fiction, it is also something of a hoax, as the story was originally published without claiming it was fictional, and readers believed the events described, of a man called Valdemar mesmerized at the point of death and upon coming out of the trance, devolving into a puddle of putrification. It was published simultaneously in “The American Review” and “Broadway Journal”, December 1845. Many readers thought the events to be true, until Poe admitted otherwise in his “Marginalia”. Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote to Poe to commend him on his talent for “making horrible improbabilities seem near and familiar”. The most well-known film adaptation appears in Roger Corman's “Tales of Terror” (1962) starring Vincent Price and Basil Rathbone.

Redfield Arts Audio Presents POE'S IRISH ROOTS Episode 23-5 DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE! For more great audio visit: http://www.RedfieldArtsAudio.com THE POE FAMILY COMES FROM IRELAND! It begins, as far back as can be reliably traced, to Edgar's great-great-grandfather David Poe in the town of Dring, County Cavan, Ireland, about 75 miles north of Dublin. (There are going to be a few “Davids” in our brief re-cap, so get your score cards ready!) There is no record of David Poe's birth, only of his death in 1742. He was a farmer and overseer of Parrish roads in Kidallan in County Cavan. It is possible (but there is no definite proof) that he was descended from the Dr. Leonard Poe who was the official physician for King James I and later for King Charles I. David Poe, who married a woman named Sarah, gave birth to a son called John (date unknown). John Poe (Edgar's great-grandfather) married Jane McBride and immigrated to America sometime around 1749 or 1750. They lived briefly in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and then moved and settled in Baltimore, Maryland. David and Jane had 10 children. Their son David (Edgar's grandfather—still with me?) was born in either 1742 or 1743 before they came to America.

MICKEY MOUSE THEATRE ON THE AIR! 1938 “Snow White Day” Radio Show! November 18th marks the birthdays of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse! November 18th was chosen as the anniversary date (by the late Disney historian and archivist Dave Smith) as that's the date that “Steamboat Willie” (by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks) was released. It's the first “talkie” Mickey Mouse cartoon from the Disney Brothers. But Minnie and Mickie made their actual screen debut in “Plane Crazy” on 15 May, 1928. After the success of the sound “Steamboat Willie”, “Plane Crazy” was scored and vocal and sound effects were added, and the short was re-released in 1929! And the first voice of Mickey Mouse in the films? Walt Disney! I always wondered why Mickey didn't have his own radio show. He, and all the characters created by Disney and voiced by such wonderful voice talents would have been a natural. Particularly as music was so important to all of Disney's films, and rapid fire dialogue, character voices, and verbal humor was king in the movies and radio of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. But Mickey and his friends were on the radio in the late 1930s. Perhaps radio, and Walt being primarily a visual storyteller, was just too much for the growing studio after they released their feature animated cartoon, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. Of course broadcasters we after Disney to do radio, and when the opportunity to help promote Snow White presented itself, Disney leapt at it, and put his all into it, like he did with everything. Mickey Mouse Theatre On the Air was a short lived variety radio program that debuted on NBC in January, 1938. Remarkably well produced and performed, it moves swiftly and packs the short program with great familiar characters and songs. It's a shame that Mickey Mouse Theater on the Air only lasted until May of 1938, with only about 20 shows produced, broadcast every Sunday afternoon. There are so many wonderful possibilities for Mickey and friends on the radio…it could have been somewhat groundbreaking had it been given the chance, much like The Muppet Show was when it debuted on television in the 1970s… Here's the second show, “Snow White Day”, originally broadcast on January 9th, 1938. With The Felix Mills Orchestra. Spike Jones conducting Donald Duck's Swing Band. Clarence Nash as Donald Duck, Thelma Boardman as Minnie Mouse, Stuart Buchanan as Goofy, and the announcer is Joe Hiestand. Walt Disney appears as himself, and as Mickey Mouse!

Poe's Poetic Principle - Three Poems On The Death Of A Beautiful Woman (Ep 21-34)

Poe's Poetic Principle - Three Poems On The Death Of A Beautiful Woman Find more great audio at www.RedfieldArtsAudio.com ______________ In “The Philosophy of Composition" , an 1846 essay written by Edgar Allan Poe , he gives his theory about how good writers write, when they write well. He concludes that length, "unity of effect" and a logical method are important considerations for good writing. He also states that "the death... of a beautiful woman is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world". Ulalume is a poem written by Poe in 1847. Much like Poe's poems The Raven and Annabel Lee, Ulalume focuses on the narrator's loss of his beloved due to her death. Poe originally wrote the poem as an elocution piece and, as such, the poem is known for its focus on sound. It makes many allusions, especially to mythology. The three central elements of Poe's philosophy of composition are: Length. Poe believed that all literary works should be short. They should be read in a single sitting. Method. Poe dismissed the notion of artistic intuition and argued that writing is methodical and analytical, not spontaneous. Unity of effect. The essay states Poe's conviction that a work of fiction should be written only after the author has decided how it is to end and which emotional response, or "effect", he wishes to create, commonly known as the "unity of effect". In this essay, Poe logically decides on "the death... of a beautiful woman" as it "is unquestionably the most poetical topic in the world, and equally is it beyond doubt that the lips best suited for such topic are those of a bereaved lover." Biographers and critics have suggested that Poe's obsession with this theme stems from the repeated loss of women throughout his life, including his mother Eliza Poe, Jane Stanard, his foster mother Frances Allan and, later, his wife Virginia. In the essay, Poe traces the logical progression of his creation of "The Raven" as an attempt to compose "a poem that should suit at once the popular and the critical taste." Even the term "Nevermore," he says, is based on logic following the "unity of effect." The sounds in the vowels in particular, he writes, have more meaning than the definition of the word itself. He had previously used words like "Lenore" for the same effect. The Raven itself, Poe says, is meant to symbolize Mournful and Never-ending Remembrance. This may imply an autobiographical significance to the poem, alluding to the many people in Poe's life who had died.

Writer-director-editor Mike Flanagan made his first splash with horror films fans with his 2011 crowd-source-funded film “Absentia”. “Absentia” featured actors from Flanagan's student-film days, and genre favorite Doug Jones, the star of “The Shape of Water” and “Pan's Labyrinth” . His real break-out film in the horror genre was “Oculus” from 2014. Flanagan's next major film was “Hush”, released by Netflix in 2016. This lead to writing and directing an adaptation of Stephen King's “Gerald's Game” for Netflix and, eventually, to the adaptation of Shirley Jackson's novel “The Haunting of Hill House” for Netflix, released as a 10-episode film, in 2018. “The Haunting of Hill House” as won raves and accolades from fans and critics. Stephen King said, “ ‘The Haunting of Hill House', revised and remodeled by Mike Flanagan. I don't usually care for this kind of revisionism, but this is great. Close to a work of genius.
