The Beautiful Dead

It's your holiday gift..... I'm covering ALL the Underworlds.... because you guys have asked so many times. Go to Hack the Movies on YouTube to see me vote on the worst one. (Audio from YouTube vide)

MISTAKE- in the video I say that Elizabeth was related to the King of Hungary who was an ally to Vlad. I meant to say the voivode of Transylvania Stefan Bathory who was also an ally of Vlad. Please forgive me. They are the mother and father of vampires and they were very real people. Lena does what she loves.... digging into history to talk about vampires. Make sure you're checking out her posts on Instagram from her day at VAMPA!Happy Halloween, vampires!Find Jack's music:  @TheVampireJackTownson ​(audio from the YouTube video until I can get a new mic)

It's a viewer request and a new one for Lena. What did she think of this one and does it compare to the other vampire movies of that time?(Audio from the YouTube review until I can get a new mic)

It's a viewer's request and I'm thrilled to do it. What do you think of the ending and Dracula's origin in this one?(Audio from the YouTube review until I can get a new mic)

While I try to get a new mic, I'm going to upload the audio from each of my YouTube episodes so you guys have something to listen to!

Continuing spooky season with a little discussion about demonic possession. Do you think it's real?

Let's mix Lena's love of the paranormal with her love of true crime. These are all actual cases that have a spooky twist.

It's October! That means Lena likes to talk about all things spooky and "real." We're starting the month off with lycanthropes: their history, the best movies and the best vampire/wolf rivalries.

Which one is better? Lena has watched them both and decided which one she will definitely watch again.

Viewers' request month continues and we head back to Hammer Horrors.

It's another viewers' request. This time we have a vampire that feeds in an...... interesting way.

It's August and we're doing viewers' requests. If you haven't checked out my YouTube channel, you should!

We talked about this the first season but it's time to do it right. Over the next 6 weeks, we will talk about each movie and the spin-off! What are your thoughts on this franchise?

It's another installment of the Karnstein vampire drama from the Hammer Horror world!Go check out the two episodes that are YouTube only at The Beautiful Dead Podcast - YouTube

If you already listened to this - sorry! It was replaced with Sinners last week then reuploaded for now to align with the YouTube channel!!! If you haven't heard it.... you're in for a treat.... don't bother watching the movie... it is NOT worth it.

Everyone has been asking... so here it is!! Lena apologizes for her coughing.... she's trying so hard to get better for you all!!

It was the first episode of the podcast. Have my thoughts changed after 5 years?

This is the least romantic Dracula I have ever seen. I am convinced he hated women in this movie. Do you agree?

Might as well round it out and finish the trilogy! Will I enjoy it as much as I did the 2nd one?

I'd never watched it but it is time.......

It was done when I first started the podcast and didn't know what I wanted to do yet. Time to brin git back!

Lena turned this 3-hour movie into a 50-minute review..... you're welcome.

Is this the sexiest Dracula? Lena reviews what happens when a horror legend interprets a famous vampire and adds bugs.

If you've ever said "I wonder what a vampire movie with Jackie Chan would be like?" THIS IS THE ANSWER!

This is one from the first season and it's time to revisit it. Have you seen it recently? Do you think it holds up?

Lena found this DVD at a used record store... and wishes she'd never watched it.

Yes, Lena knows she did this already but she wants a redo on some of her older ones. This one deserved better so Lena revisited it. Make sure you're following The Beautiful Dead on Instagram to see picture from Orlando's Megacon!

What's worse than a bad movie? One you paid for and is written with the utter belief that they will, and deserve to, get a sequel.... buckle in for the quickest review on the history of this podcast!!

Ever have something that's supposed to be sexy just be the least sexy thing ever? That's what this movie feels like for Lena.... plus IMDB movie review titles are back!

If Jim Henson did a dark vampire comedy based on a 19th century short story .... you'd get this movie. You HAVE to check this out! Vampyre Tea Company can be found at www.vampyreteacompany.com

After interviewing Shayne and Jack Townson, Lena promised to read both of their books. It's Shayne's turn with her first novel of the Of Light and Darkness Series. You know how people say "I couldn't put it down." Well, let's just say Lena needs to catch up on sleep now. Buy the books at Amazon.com: Shayne Leighton: books, biography, latest update

This was a movie that teen Lena never would have let her parents know she watched. Let's talk about this 90s masterpiece!
