Podcasts about Anno Dracula

Kim Newman in conversation with Jordan SorceryKim Newman has had a long and successful career as an author famous for his Anno Dracula series, as a television personality, and as Empire's horror expert since the magazine's very first issue. But there is another aspect to the remarkable history of this remarkable writer - his time writing the very first Warhammer Fantasy novel, Drachenfels.Under the banner of Games Workshop's first publishing imprint, GW Books, and the pseudonym Jack Yeovil, Kim Newman wrote a series of short stories and novels set in the fledgling Warhammer Fantasy world, as well as an intricately plotted dystopian tale set in the short-lived Mad Max fuelled world of Dark Future.Kim talks to me about the beginnings of GW Books, his work for Games Workshop both published and unpublished, and returning to the characters years later to pen a new tale for the Black Library.Kim's Links:Kim Newman's Website [https://johnnyalucard.com/]Support my work:Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/jordansorcery]Element Games Affiliate Link [https://elementgames.co.uk/?d=11216]Download my Fantasy Battle Scenario: Dead King Wenceslas [https://jordansorcery.itch.io/dead-king-wenceslas]Ko-Fi [https://ko-fi.com/jordansorcery]Discord [My Discord is now exclusive to Patreon supporters]This episode was originally released via YouTube: https://youtu.be/SftR6a8jIpk

JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD, invite a revered British horror scholar to share the mic, and talk about a beloved era of horror cinema. MONSTER PARTY presents a special "across the pond" episode that we've playfully titled... LET'S SCARE KIM NEWMAN TO DEATH: HIDDEN HORROR GEMS OF THE 70S!!! If you're a monster kid and are not aware of KIM NEWMAN, this is the moment when your life gets back on track. Mr. Newman is an award-winning journalist, film critic, and author, whose works include the immensely popular ANNO DRACULA series of novels, the essential horror cinema book, NIGHTMARE MOVIES, and the upcoming yuletide novella, A CHRISTMAS GHOST STORY!  Kim has also worked as a film critic for EMPIRE, ROTTEN TOMATOES, VENUE, VIDEO WATCHDOG, and SIGHT AND SOUND, and has provided a slew of MONSTER PARTY endorsed commentaries for many of their favorite films.  Of course, we're barely scratching the surface of Kim Newman's accomplishments, so for more information about this MONSTER PARTY hero, check out THE KIM NEWMAN WEBSITE at johnnyalucard.com! Oh, and in case you're wondering how MONSTER PARTY came up with the provocative title for this episode, one of Kim's favorite horror films is the classic 70s vampire film, LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH. So what better way to honor our guest than with a Jessi-centric play on words? Aren't we clever? WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS HEARTFELT EXAMINATION OF HORROR FILMS FROM WHAT IS ARGUABLY THE GOLDEN AGE OF CINEMA. AND TO JESSICA'S LOVED ONES, WE OFFER OUR CONDOLENCES.

Le podcast du jour porte sur Anno Dracula, 1er volume d'une saga en 6 tomes, écrit par Kim Newman en 1992. Je vous en dis un peu plus à l'oral!

Join us for a special episode of Teaching My Cat To Read, where Eli brings some beloved guests on board to discuss Kim Newman's Anno Dracula. We talk about whether vampires are always sexy, how many fun literary cameos an author can include before it gets annoying, and exactly what on earth is going on in this book.

It makes sense that Nightmare Movies and Anno Dracula author Kim Newman would be drawn to Captain Scarlet, but what is his favourite of the many Gerry Anderson shows he watched growing up? The answer might surprise you! In this episode, Kim explores the uniqueness of Thunderbirds' altruistic format, the pioneering Century 21 merch empire, and how puppets became such a dominant part of the television landscape.

A Halloween book club episode this week, and we lost ourselves in the brilliant Anno Dracula, by Kim Newman. But before we started gushingly declaring our love for Genevieve Dieudonné and this book, we discussed Reggie as a proponent of avant garde punk music (and him being a germbag), Andrew Tasselmyer, people who live as real life vampires, cosplay and crossplay, and Rooney got angry over the latest updates from the upcoming Vampire Chronicles TV series!

For our fourth episode, Eric Wier and Alexander Winberg talk about the 1989 horror classic Drachenfels by Kim Newman, of the Anno Dracula fame. We chat about the novel's interesting place in the Old World, and how things have both stayed the same and also changed in the Warhammer world since it was first written. We also talk about its unusual characters and interesting plot structure: a jailed playwright and vampire from Bretonnia creating a dramatization of the defeat of the dreaded Drachenfels.

“I am…Dracula!” This week Mike is joined by Dracula expert and author of the Anno Dracula books Kim Newman to discuss the importance of the character and story on horror cinema. In the second half of the episode Mike is joined by Adam Robinson for a deep-dive discussion of Bram Stoker's seminal 1897 novel.

In this episode I'm joined by Rachel M Friars, where we discuss her research into queer Neo-Victorian works.

Halloween is over for another year but there are still plenty of monsters to go around.Our guest this week is Kim Newman, the writer, critic and encyclopaedic authority on horror, pulp and the dark recesses of cinematic history. You may know him as the author of the Anno Dracula series, but that's only the tip of his imaginative iceberg.Kim's new novel, Something More than Night, takes all of that arcane knowledge and puts it to use – transporting us back to the Hollywood of the 1930s when fascism is on the rise and it's hard to tell the movie monsters from the real madmen. Cue the pairing of horror-icon Boris Karloff and gumshoe writer Raymond Chandler, who unite to confront some very strange goings on behind the scenes.In between educating me on the finer points of Hollywood history, Kim talks about the enduring legacy of Frankenstein, imitating Chandler's unique style, writing novels in a connected universe  - and we realise just how similar he is to Quention Tarantino. This one is an absolute blast.Enjoy! Something More than Night was published on November 2nd by Titan Books.Other books mentioned in this episode include:Anno Dracula (1992), by Kim NewmanAnno Dracula 1999: Daikaiju (1999), by Kim NewmanNightmare Movies: Horror on Screen Since the 1960s (1988) by Kim Newman.

The latest Blu-ray and DVD releases from BARRY FORSHAW - LINE OF DUTY to Rupert Davies' MAIGRET. Also an interview with KIM NEWMAN about his novel due in November SOMETHING MORE THAN NIGHT, also horror, Hollywood and modelling villains on Elon Musk.SOMETHING MORE THAN NIGHT: Hollywood, the late 1930s. Raymond Chandler writes detective stories for pulp magazines, and drinks more than he should. Boris Karloff plays monsters in the movies, and is a genial, cricket-playing member of the British filmland colony on the shores of the Pacific. Both understand that these streets are dark with something more than night. Together, these English public school men in exile investigate mysterious matters in a town run by human and inhuman monsters. Under Home House, the mock gothic mock mansion of a film mogul, is a mad science dungeon just like in the movies – where an experiment has gone dangerously wrong, or even more dangerously right. Fiery death spills onto Sunset Boulevard. Fired by the DA, investigator John Devlin enlists Ray and Billy – Chandler and Pratt (Karloff) – to work the case, which threatens to expose Hollywood's most horrific secrets. And, oh yes, monsters aren't just for the movies.KIM NEWMAN  is a well known and respected author and movie critic, known for his acclaimed Anno Dracula series. He writes regularly for Empire magazine and contributes to The Guardian, The Times, Time Out and others. He makes frequent appearances on radio and TV.

Greetings, and welcome back to Horror Business. We have one awesome episode in store for you guys. In this episode we’re talking about two films involving Satanic Cults: 1968’s The Devil Rides Out and 2011’s Drive Angry. And, as a bonus, we’re joined by the wonderful  Scott Poole, author of Monsters In America and Wasteland: The Great War And The Origins Of Modern Horror. First and foremost, we want to give a shoutout to our sponsors over at Lehigh Valley Apparel Creations, the premiere screen-printing company of the Lehigh Valley. Chris Reject and his merry band of miscreants are ready to work with you to bring to life your vision of a t-shirt for your business, band, project, or whatever else it is you need represented by a shirt, sweater, pin, or coozy. Head on over to www.xlvacx.com to check them out. Also, thank you to our Patreon subscribers. Your support means the world to us and we are eternally grateful for that support. Thanks! We start by briefly discussing what we’ve done lately involving horror. Scott talks about reading Kim Newman’s Anno Dracula and revisiting the films of Yorgos Lanthimos, Liam talks about seeing The Invisible Manand White Force, and Justin talks about re-watching Terrified on Shudder, starting the television series The Plot Against America, and diving into the work of artist Junji Ito. Up first is The Devil Rides Out. We open up by giving a brief summary of the film, and a background of the novel series that work is based on. Justin talks about how the film initially felt like it was assuming the viewer had a background knowledge of the series and how they turned him off at first but then it was something that appealed to him eventually. Some of the more interesting aspects of the films production are touched upon, as is the vague mysterious background of Christopher Lee’s character. The restrictions placed upon the film by production codes not allowing nudity are discussed. The somewhat dated nature of the film is discussed, as is Terence Fisher’s work with Hammer Films. The juxtaposition of the film as being set in the 1920’s but very clearly being made in the 1960s is discussed, and we briefly talk about how the film was one of the first to feature the actual Devil as a villain. The theme of the a rightfully distrusted aristocracy is touched upon. Richard Matheson’s distinctly American stamp upon a film that is supposed to be very British is examined. Charles Gray’s performance as a contrast to Christopher Lee’s is discussed. Justin talks about the quaintness of the orgy scene not for its lack of nudity but more so for how at this point in time summoning merely the Devil or Satan is kind of passé. The heavy-handed Christian theology and morality is touched upon. Up next is Drive Angry. We give a brief outline of the film. We discuss the absurdity that is the concept of a bureaucracy in Hell. Nic Cage as an “out of control proletariat” is discussed. The like-ability of much of the cast is discussed, as is the idea of the Devil as “not that bad of a guy” who actually despises much of what is done in his name, something in line with the moral code of the Church of Satan. The interesting idea of how Nic Cage isn’t actually against anyone who has any real supernatural abilities is touched upon. Cage’s career as being an actor who is strongest when he is acting opposite of a strong female lead is discussed. The weird touch of a “buddy adventure” film that the movie has is touched upon. Nic Cage’s legacy as an actor is discussed. First and foremost, thanks to Scott for joining us and talking about these movies. His books can be purchased here and he can be followed on Twitter at @monstersamerica.

Andy talks about AwesomeCon and how well the first ever Get the MacGuffin tournaments worked out. Keith has more to say about Ready Player One, having read the book again in preparation for seeing the movie, and they discuss some of the basic issues they have with the entire premise, from a world builder's perspective. Keith compares and contrasts it with a book called Anno Dracula. Then they get into answering a listener's question about how much you need to know about the history of an art form in order to become a creator, leading to discussions of how inventors build upon earlier works, issues that come up when working with someone else's intellectual property, and when you need to consult with an expert on specific subject matter. They discuss their collaboration on Cthulhu Fluxx at some length. Lastly they talk about Timeless, and the challenges of creating a compelling time travel show.

Nos hemos pasado.Vale, lo sabemos. Somos madafakas, y nos hemos pasado.Pero no queríais que lo dividiéramos, y habéis estado mucho tiempo esperando, así que aquí está: el podcast sobre vampiros. Nuestra magna obra, y no porque sea buena, sino porque es un TOCHACO. Aquí caben cuatro de nuestros podcasts normales…Y como comprendo lo tochaco que es, aquí os dejo un "resumen" de lo que podéis encontrar en él, para que os sea fácil llegar sólo a los cachos que os interesen (que no me entere yo, malditos...).I. INTRO y bla, bla, blaSaludos a los oyentes, comentarios y tres promos:Comando Alt SuprimirInvaders PodcastPodcast CaramelizadoII. 1ª PARTE: Génesis -vampiros en la antigüedad y otras culturasUn poco sobre los antepasados del vampirismo y leyendas de diversas culturas (Mesopotamia, Grecia antigua, Asia, América...).III. 2ª PARTE: Europa y la histeria del siglo XVIIIOtro poco sobre el origen del vampiro tal y como lo conocemos, los puntos débiles de los chupasangres y características en general. También algo sobre nombres y etimología, y las causas que llevaron a creer en el nosferatu. IV. 3ª PARTE: Vampiros en la literatura y el cineEl grueso del podcast, supongo.Comenzando en el Romanticismo y las novelas de terror gótico, hacemos un tour por muchas de las obras en las que el vampiro hace su aparición.Aquí incluyo un listado, y como en el podcast mencionamos que algunos poemas los pondríamos en el blog, los he añadido. Der Vampir (Heinrich August Ossenfelder)Mi querida y joven doncella se aferraInflexible, rápida y firmementeA las antiguas enseñanzasDe una madre siempre fiel,Así como, en las orillas del Tisza,Los oficiales húngarosCreen en la leyenda del vampiro inmortal.Pero mi Christine, perdéis el tiempo,Y rechazáis mi amor,Hasta que yo, vengativo,Brinde a la salud de un vampiroCon pálido Tokay (vino húngaro). Y mientras durmáis delicadamenteA vos vendré arrastrándome,Y la sangre de vuestra vida absorberé.Y así temblaréis,Pues yo estaré besándoos,Y vos estaréis cruzando las puertas de la MuerteCon miedo, en mis fríos brazos.Y al final os preguntaré:“Comparados con tal enseñanza¿Qué son los encantos de una madre?” La novia de Corinto (Goethe)A salir de mi tumba y errar soy forzada,A buscar el vínculo a Dios hace tiempo cortado,A amar al prometido que he perdidoHasta que la sangre vital de su corazón haya bebido.Thalaba el Destructor (Robert Southey) Christabel (Samuel Taylor Coleridge)El Giaour (Lord Byron)[fragmento]Pero primero, sobre la tierra, como vampiro enviado,tu cadáver de la tumba será arrancado;luego, lívido, vagarás por el que fuera tu hogar,y la sangre de todos los tuyos has de beber;allí, de tu hija, hermana y esposa,a medianoche, la fuente de la vida secarás;Aunque abomines del banquete, debes, forzosamente,nutrir tu lívido cadáver viviente. Tus víctimas, antes de expirar,en el demonio a su señor verán;maldiciéndote, maldiciéndose,tus flores marchitándose están en el tallo.Pero una que por tu crimen debe caer,la más joven, entre todas, la más amada,llamándote padre, te bendecirá:¡esta palabra envolverá en llamas tu corazón! Pero concluir debes tu trabajo y observaren sus mejillas el último color;de sus ojos el último destello,y su postrera y vidriosa mirada debes verhelarse sobre el azul sin vida. Con impías manos desharás luegolas trenzas de su dorado cabello,que fueron en vida bucles por ti acariciadosy con promesas de tierno amor despeinados;¡pero ahora tú lo arrebatas, monumento a tu agonía! Con tu propia y mejor sangre chorrearántus rechinantes dientes y macilentos labios.Luego, a tu lóbrega tumba caminarás;ve, y con demonios y espíritus delira,hasta que de horror estremecidos, huyande un espectro más abominable que ellos.The Vampyre (John William Polidori)The Skeleton Court, or The Vampire Mistress (Elizabeth Caroline Grey) Varney the Vampire (James Malcolm Rymer) Carmilla (Sheridan LeFanu) Drácula (Bram Stoker)Vampire of the CoastThe Vampire (Robert Vignola) Nosferatu, una sinfonía de horror (F.

First Keith talks about his recent trip to Portugal, where, among other things, he enjoyed seeing the roof cats of Porto. They discuss the mystery of why we have different names for foreign geographic locations than the names used by the people who actually live in those places. Keith mentions a couple of books including Anno Dracula and Last Call.

For this week's show, Andy and Derek look at two examples of life writing and one Dracula-infused alternate history. They begin with Paula Knight's The Facts of Life, one of the latest in the Pennsylvania State University Press' Graphic Medicine series. This is the story of Knight and her partner's attempts to get pregnant, but more significantly, it's a personal account of the contexts and societal expectations surrounding motherhood. After that they look at Sara Lautman's Black and White Diary Comics, December 2016 - February 2017 (Birdcage Bottom Books), a collection of black-and-white strips that episodically chronicles the artist's life over the past few months. Finally, the Two Guys wrap up with with Anno Dracula #1 (Titan Comics), the next installment in Kim Newman's series of novels...this one in comics form. With art by Paul McCaffrey, this first miniseries, subtitled "1895: Seven Days in Mayhem," could stand as a solid introduction to Newman's vampiric storyworld.

In a podcast where we set out to read every genre (regardless of our actual interest) our second episode features: Gothic Literature. Listen to hosts Anna Ferri, Meghan Whyte, Amanda Wanner, and Matthew Murray discuss dread, castles, fear of foreigners, just what exactly counts as "gothic" literature, and all the vampires.  (With a slightly lower sound quality than the first; our apologies!)

Ed reviews the Two Hundred Twenty One Baker Streets anthology, Si Lloyd discusses Anno Dracula, and we talk to Brendon Connelly about his Holmes inspired project, 221b. Producer Al tries to keep the team sane. All recordings are issued under official license from Fab Radio International. The Bookworm is a Truly Outrageous Production.

In the third and final part of our explorations of the many universes of Mr Kim Newman, we journey to the alternate world of Anno Dracula, trace the exploits of the Diogenes Club down the decades and and visit many other parallel Earths in the the Newmanverse.
