Podcasts about Bela Lugosi

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz feature Gary D. Rhodes. He is a renowned film historian and author with a passion for uncovering the forgotten stories of horror cinema. He's a world expert on Bela Lugosi and Dracula, and will reveal the secrets of the tragic life story of this world-famous horror film legend. He will also talk about his book, "Weirdumentary: Ancient Aliens, Fallacious Prophecies, and Mysterious Monsters From 1970s Documentaries." The book unlocks the secrets of the strangest cinematic phenomenon of the 1970s. It's the ultimate guide to the bizarre, the unexplained, and the wildly entertaining films and television programs that blurred the line between fact and fantasy. "Weirdumentary" examines dozens of movies and TV series, sold to the unsuspecting public as documentaries, beginning with "Chariots of the Gods" (1970) and ending with "The Man Who Saw Tomorrow" (1981). Leonard Nimoy's "In Search Of" makes an appearance, and so does Orson Wells in his late-career role of sinister yet skeptical narrator. Although listeners to The Paracast know about their factual basis, many of these shows and movies featured spurious experts, questionable evidence, and low-budget dramatization. Acclaimed comic book artist, writer, and historian Stephen R. Bissette, best known for his groundbreaking work on DC Comics' "Swamp Thing" alongside Alan Moore, provides the foreword.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-paracast-the-gold-standard-of-paranormal-radio--6203433/support.

Brooklyn-based goth-folk duo Charming Disaster's upcoming album The Double—their seventh full-length release—explores the world that exists behind the one we know, featuring songs inspired by nature, mortality, magic, ritual, and literary genres ranging from science fiction to Victorian horror. The new album was co-produced by band members Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris with longtime collaborator, recording engineer Don Godwin. All but one of the ten tracks were recorded at Tonal Park in Takoma Park, MD, with one song recorded by circus music composer Peter Bufano in Boston, MA. The Double will be released on CD, as a 12-inch colored vinyl LP, and on all digital platforms on May 16, 2025. The vinyl will be released in a 2-disc package that also includes Charming Disaster's 2024 compilation Time Ghost, a collection of singles released over the last decade.   The Double invites listeners to step across the border of an alternate reality, where spells are cast, time travel is possible, plants are taking over civilization, and vampires lurk in the shadows. Adventures in the darkness lie beyond the threshold.   The album's ten songs include “Black Locust,” a lullaby about mortality; “New Moon,” a magical nature ritual; “Trick of the Light,” a reimagining of Bram Stoker's Dracula; “Time Machine,” in which Charming Disaster change the past and start over again; “Scavengers,” a walk in the woods with vultures and bones; “Beautiful Night,” a defiant response to struggles with depression; “Vitriol,” a tribute to artist Thomas Little, who turns guns into ink; “Haunted Lighthouse,” a swashbuckling sea voyage; “Gang of Two,” a true crime adventure; and “Green Things,” a love letter to what grows between the cracks (and its inevitable takeover).   The album features an array of talented collaborators. Co-producer Don Godwin, who has worked on Charming Disaster's entire discography, contributed bass, drums, and horns as well as engineering and mixing. “Haunted Lighthouse” features Broadway percussionist Mike Dobson along with circus composer Peter Bufano, who played piano and accordion and engineered the track at Cirkestra World Headquarters in Boston, MA (with additional tracking at Tonal Park). “Scavengers” features cello recorded by Kate Wakefield of the duo Lung, who also created the string arrangement for “Beautiful Night.” Stefan Zeniuk of Gato Logo contributed saxophone to “Green Things.”   In conjunction with The Double, Charming Disaster is releasing the second edition of their “oracle deck” (similar to a Tarot deck). The Charming Disaster Oracle Deck contains 72 cards (including 12 new cards for the second edition), each representing one of the songs from Charming Disaster's discography. The cards feature illustrations commissioned from more than thirty different artists. The deck can be used as a divination tool, or as a visual accompaniment to Charming Disaster's music. The duo themselves use these cards in their live performances to determine the set through the element of chance.   Charming Disaster was formed by Bisker and Morris in 2012, inspired by the gothic humor of Edward Gorey and Tim Burton, the murder ballads of the American Folk tradition, and the dramatic flair of the cabaret. Together the duo write songs that tell stories about myth, magic, and mortality, using two voices to explore dark narratives and characters with a playfully macabre sensibility.   On their critically acclaimed albums Love, Crime & Other Trouble (2015), Cautionary Tales (2017), and SPELLS + RITUALS (2019), Charming Disaster explored death, crime, folklore, and the occult. On Our Lady of Radium (2022), they turned their attention to science and explored the life and discoveries of pioneering scientist Marie Curie. On Super Natural History (2023), they united the natural world and the metaphysical realm in a musical cabinet of curiosities.   The duo put out two releases in 2024: Time Ghost, an album-length collection of songs released as singles between 2013 and 2024; and Dance Me to the End of Bela Lugosi's Lovesong, an EP of covers paying tribute to a few of the band's influences: Leonard Cohen's “Dance Me to the End of Love,” “Bela Lugosi's Dead” by Bauhaus, and The Cure's “Lovesong.”   In Charming Disaster's live shows, the duo combine vocal harmonies and clever lyrics with ukulele, guitar, and foot percussion, with a cabaret-influenced performance style that straddles the line between concert and theatre and has been described as “haunted vaudeville” (Splice Magazine). Charming Disaster's music has been featured on the spooky hit podcast Welcome to Night Vale. They have opened for legendary cello-rock ensemble Rasputina, Goth icon Voltaire, and Amanda Palmer's punk cabaret duo The Dresden Dolls. Their concerts have captivated audiences across the United States and in Europe. They have appeared alongside storytellers, comedians, fire eaters, puppets, burlesque artists, poets, and circus performers. Recent appearances have included Joe's Pub in NYC, Atlanta's massive pop culture convention Dragon Con, Brooklyn's historic Green-Wood Cemetery, the Rochester Fringe Festival, Philadelphia's Science History Institute, the Edgar Allan Poe Museum in Richmond, VA, Cleveland's WizbangCircus Theatre, and the Coney Island Sideshow stage, as well as sundry bars, art galleries, theatres, bookstores, libraries, train cars, mausoleums, and museums.   LINKS: Website: www.charmingdisaster.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/charmingdisaster Instagram: http://instagram.com/charmingdisasterband YouTube: http://youtube.com/charmingdisasterband Bandcamp: http://charmingdisaster.bandcamp.com Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/1RjkfhamohczSXjFy5WcZh   The Double preorder link: charmingdisaster.bandcamp.com/album/the-double     Tickets : Charming Disaster at The Foundry Cleveland June 5th with Cowboy Princess Brigade https://www.ticketweb.com/event/charming-disaster-cowboy-princess-brigade-the-foundry-tickets/14325923?utm_medium=affiliate&irgwc=1&clickid=yKYzFM2SwxycTOrRPc1Gt0d7UksRjjwhTXGA2E0&camefrom=CFC_BUYAT_219208&impradid=219208&REFERRAL_ID=tmfeedbuyat219208&wt.mc_id=aff_BUYAT_219208&utm_source=219208-Bandsintown&impradname=Bandsintown&ircid=4272   C-Level Pete Francis Tickets : https://www.ticketweb.com/event/peter-francis-of-dispatch-the-winchester-tickets/14338833?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=lakewood-events

Greetings Beast Folk. Welcome to Dr. Moreau's island. Don't suck the water, kill the rabbits, or even pretend to memorize your lines. Such was the case with this film's two powerhouse leads: Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer. You can literally see their egos taking over and ruining everyone's time. Forbidden Planet anyone? Not to mention the on-set witchcraft, the world's smallest man (inspiring Austin Powers' Mini-Me!), and ice bucket hats. Truly, this is a film everyone should see to believe. So dear Sayers of the Law: does this adaptation of an H.G. Wells classic stand the test of time? Or is it best left in the House of Pain? Plus, enjoy Peter Lorre's review of a Bela Lugosi haunted house romp called Spooks Run Wild. We're all running wild with this one.

Edgardo Franzosini"Per espresso desiderio"Gramma Feltrinelliwww.feltrinellieditore.itCi voleva forse un romanzo come Per espresso desiderio per raccontare uno scrittore, un critico e un poeta come Paul Léautaud, morto ultraottantenne nel 1956, ormai da quarant'anni lontano dal mondo letterario, isolato, ostile a tutto quello che lo circondava. E ci voleva un autore come Edgardo Franzosini, noto per i suoi libri meticolosi e nitidi, per svelare il nodo che ha tormentato il poeta francese per buona parte della sua esistenza.“Ho trovato cosa mettere come epigrafe sulla mia tomba,” scriveva Léautaud nel settembre 1921: “Rimpiango tutto”. Tra le occasioni mancate, affidate alle 6500 pagine del suo diario, c'era posto anche per “il rimpianto di essere stato così sciocco davanti ai suoi no quella sera che ero in camera sua e lei si stava spogliando per andare a letto”.La lei a cui si riferiva era la madre, Jeanne Forestier, nata a Parigi nel 1852 da una modesta coppia di borghesi. Una domenica Jeanne, che non ha ancora sedici anni, va a far visita alla sorella Fanny e al suo compagno, Firmin Léautaud, un attore della Comédie Française, e ne diventa l'amante. Da uno di questi incontri, il 18 gennaio 1872, nasce Paul, che la madre abbandona subito per seguire la sua vocazione di attrice. Il futuro scrittore avrà modo di rivederla solo in quattro occasioni.Ma l'incontro cruciale avviene nell'autunno del 1901 a Calais. Paul ha quasi trent'anni, finsero dapprima di non conoscersi, poi, qualche ora dopo, caddero “l'uno nelle braccia dell'altra”, come scrisse Léautaud, ammettendo però che stava forzando i toni. Dopo quella volta non si videro più. Si scambiarono lettere solo per qualche mese. E lui non dimenticò mai quei giorni passati con la madre.Edgardo Franzosini ha cesellato questo piccolo gioiello, che racconta un incesto immaginario. Lo ha fatto trattando una materia bruciante come fosse un entomologo, in un libro eccentrico e appassionante.“Con un'amante la soluzione è una sola, semplice,” pensa Léautaud sprofondando la testa nel cuscino. “Quando è finita con una si comincia con un'altra. Ma con una madre? È come con la vita. Non ne puoi avere due. Se hai fallito con una, hai fallito per sempre.”“Franzosini lavora sui dettagli, costruisce i suoi libri tessendo fatti insoliti, curiosità, aneddoti che divertono senza che il riso allontani il loro mistero.” - Andrea Cirolla, L'Indice dei libri“Franzosini scava nelle pagine, raccoglie un nome e va alla ricerca di ogni dettaglio della sua esistenza, da una storia di poche righe squaderna una vita.” - Chiara De Nardi, DoppiozeroEdgardo Franzosini vive a Milano.

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Sara Karloff, daughter of the great Boris Karloff. Sara sat down with us to discuss what life was like with her father, one of, if not the most famous of the actors from the golden age of Universal Pictures monster movies along with Bela Lugosi and Lon Cheyney among a few others. Sara talked to us about her father's love of dogs, his roots in England, his favorite sport as well as his roles in films like Frankenstein, The Mummy and others that made him an icon. Sara has been tasked with guarding her father's legacy and keeping his name alive. When we spoke with her, that meant, working on a restoration of a silent film, King of the Kongo amongst other things. We even spoke with her about her father's last American film Targets and how she might looks to animate some of her father's audio recordings as well. Sara was a terrific guest as she spoke about the past, present and future of her father and his legacy. She's very much keeping it alive through film, a deal with Legendary comics and much more. So stick around and hear all the dastardly details of growing up with one of the most famous actors of all-time. Another child of a celebrity, interviewed by the child of a celebrity. Take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

In today's episode Patrick and Greg talk about outcomes that are count variables: when you need to worry about them and what you can do about them within your analytical models. Along the way they also mention: Bela Lugosi, Vlad the Impaler, Patrick the Poker, Count Chocula, Count von Count, drunken bar brawls, secret distributions, K!, bio breaks, second favorite child, Animal Farm, Cliff's notes, A's in band, and more equal zeros. Stay in contact with Quantitude!

This was a nice debut by Victor Schmitt, yet another "cute n' clever" theme that definitely lives up to its name. (We note parenthetically that "Cute n' Clever" would be an awesome name for a pet store for Mensa cats, and if one ever comes into being, we hope to add it as an advertiser immediately

Devin & James are back in the Den, and it's full of bats! In this episode, we are covering a very specific type of vampire... OFF-BRAND DRACULAS! These vampires may have castles in Transylvania, look hot in a cape, or have an unnatural interest in foreign real estate, but they all owe their cinematic existence to the literary existence of Bram Stoker's Dracula. We start with NOSFERATU, covering Murnau's 1922 silent classic, through Herzog in 1979, and to Eggers in 2024. We then move on to a couple of Bela Lugosi films, where he plays a bloodsucker who is "definitely NOT Dracula" (legally speaking) with 1935's MARK OF THE VAMPIRE and 1943's THE RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE. We then head to AIP in the groovy 70's, when they redefined the old legend with 1970's COUNT YORGA, VAMPIRE, featuring the underrated Robert Quarry as the titular count with a mouthful of fangs, as well as 1972's BLACULA, featuring a dignified performance by William Marshall that deserves much more credit than it's punny title suggests.

Drac's dead but his daughter very much wants to live. She seeks a cure for her bloodlust but thanks to the terrible men in her life, realizes happiness might lie in embracing her true vampiric nature.

You can find the podcast on Threads, Instagram and Bluesky. The Worst Film of All Time by The Worst Director of All Time. So claimed the 1980 book The Golden Turkey Awards by Michael and Harry Medved regarding the film Plan 9 from Outer Space and director Edward Wood Jr AKA Ed Wood. But this very title is one of the reasons behind the revival of the film and of Ed Wood. The film has issues with continuity, set design, dialogue and a coherent ‘Plan 9' but something about the film appeals to a subset of film lovers. Perhaps it's the flashes of style, the joy in its failings or perhaps it's a recognition of something beyond the traditional and often formulaic nature of mainstream narrative filmmaking. Today I speak with two wonderful film academics and fans of the film. The Experts Mark Bould is a professor of Film and Literature at the University of West England, Bristol. He has written/edited extensively about science fiction cinema. Rodney F Hill is a Professor of Film at the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication at Hofstra University and has written extensively about film. If you are interested in finding out how you can help the Prince Charles Cinema you can visit this page here.Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:28 Ed Wood: Hollywood, Kubrick and Corman 05:04 Glen or Glenda, the production code and censorship 12:39 Plan 9 and the Baptist Church 14:33 Bela Lugosi and the rest of Ed Wood's crew 20:35 The Amazing Criswell 23:23 Plan 9: An unconventional classic 25:50 Why my guests love the film 34:04 Bad science 35:46 The more traditional aspects Plan 9 37:22 The Worst Film of All Time and The Worst Director of All Time 39:57 Ed Wood the outsider and the Church of Ed Wood 43:14 Comparison to mainstream films 45:21 The Legacy 48:08 Recommendations 50:37 Save the Prince Charles Cinema NEXT EPISODE! The next episode we will be discussing The Blob (1958) which is available to rent and buy online in many places.

Bela Lugosi soared to fame as the face of Dracula, but behind the cape was a life filled with heartbreak, addiction, and the crushing weight of Hollywood's unforgiving spotlight.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: He began as an obscure actor, became a universally loved monster, but ended in destitution. We'll look at the career of Bela Lugosi. (The Rise and Fall of Bela Lugosi) *** Nearly a century has passed, and the grisly crime committed by two sisters remains as mysterious as ever. We'll look at the Papin Sisters and the shocking gruesome murder they committed in 1933 that horrified France.

SPOILER WARNING!!! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS WE WILL BE DISCUSSING MAJOR PLOTPOINTSWhen did vampires become tragically romantic figures? They certainly were not when Bram Stoker wrote Dracula. Bela Lugosi brought class to the character, but he did not make anyone swoon. Whether it was Hammer or Anne Rice, by the time Twilight stole hearts, vampires were sexy.Nosferatu is an interesting mix that handles the dark relationship between its two leads in a way that will surprise many. It combines what vampires once were with what they somehow became. At the same time, it can be seen as commentary. This is more than just another vampire movie.Horror is a wide ranging genre. There are creatures, all kinds of exploitation, and slashers, just to name a few. But there is something about gothic horror that stands out. A nostalgia and recognition that is impossible to ignore - at least for us. We discuss Robert Eggers and his approach to horror.What will be the legacy of the 2024 version of Nosferatu? Where will it stand next to The Witch and The Lighthouse? Has Eggers shown that there is another way to depict vampires? We discuss all this and more in our latest episode.

With Halloween right around the corner, I'm sharing some classic episodes of Suspense featuring some of the biggest stars of classic Hollywood horror: Peter Lorre in "Till Death Do Us Part" (originally aired on CBS on December 15, 1942); Bela Lugosi in "The Doctor Prescribed Death" (originally aired on CBS on February 16, 1943); Boris Karloff in "Drury's Bones" (originally aired on CBS on January 25, 1945); Claude Rains and Vincent Price in "The Hands of Mr. Ottermole" (originally aired on CBS on December 2, 1948); and Price again in "The Pit and the Pendulum" (originally aired on CBS on November 19, 1957).

Dracula is a 1931 American pre-Code supernatural horror film directed and co-produced by Tod Browning from a screenplay written by Garrett Fort and starring Bela Lugosi in the title role. Dracula was produced and distributed by Universal Pictures, and was the fourth film (after Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Phantom of the Opera) in what would turn out to be a very long and successful run of “monster” films.

Donate to our October 2024 OVERCOMING THE DARKNESS campaign at https://weirddarkness.com/overcoming. Weird Darkness is narrated by professional full-time voice actor Darren Marlar. No A.I. voices are ever used in the show. IN THIS EPISODE: A child walking into their parent's room in the middle of the night is something every parent who has ever had a child has experienced on multiple occasions – but one parent's experience ended with a dark twist. (The Child Not Really There) *** Georgette Bauerdorf was a young socialite with a grand future – when her life was cut short in the dead of the night. Her screams went unanswered, and her murder became a mystery. And Georgette's murder remains unsolved almost 80 years later. (The Unsolved Murder of Georgette Bauerdorf) *** The bat is a mysterious creature. To some, such as the Chinese, it is considered a symbol of luck. To others such as the Europeans and Americans, it is seen as something scary. And of course horror films see it as the flying form of Bela Lugosi. But the Mayans might have the strangest, or maybe coolest – depending on your outlook – opinion on the bat; they believe it is the representation of a deadly vampire god. (Camazotz: The Death Bat Vampire God) *** Helen Knabe's life was remarkable, in the best sense of the word. Unfortunately, her death was also remarkable, but in the worst possible way.
 (The Deadly House Call) *** Blanche Monnier was kept locked in her bedroom for a quarter of a century. When finally rescued she looked inhuman. What her mother did to her was inhumane. (Locked In Her Room For 25 Years) *** An historian has come forward saying that his father, the former Commander of White Sands Missile Range in the 1940s, analyzed some of the material found at the UFO crash site at Roswell. I'll tell you what he found.(Navy Captain Tested Roswell UFO Debris) *** The lynching of Sheriff Henry Plummer poses one of the most haunting mysteries of the Old West. But I'll share some of the details that not everyone has heard about this grim 1863 incident.

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives, the show kicks off with Kyle trying out a new ion-infused water, which he claims is far superior to Cam's usual choice. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as they reminisce about the days when Gatorade still came in glass bottles. The episode then dives into the strange and mysterious. First, a bizarre incident involving an unknown creature—possibly a Bigfoot—repeatedly knocking on and even urinating on a listener's front door. Neighbors have also reported similar odd occurrences. Next, an Alabama woman and her son encounter something eerie on their property. As they explore outside at night, they hear a mysterious clicking sound, and their flashlight beam is suddenly "blocked" by an unseen entity. Another story recounts a family mystery dating back to 1957 in North Carolina, where a young girl may have encountered two time travelers while on the road between Reidsville and Greensboro. Then, things get even stranger when a New Yorker, driving home from Baltimore, Maryland, experiences something inexplicable on I-83. As they approach Harrisburg, PA, the truck ahead of them vanishes, and they suddenly find themselves 50 miles back in Maryland. After the break, Kyle dives into the world of vampire lore. While the classic portrayal of vampires—like those in Bela Lugosi's films—are pure entertainment, Kyle explores real-life vampire sightings that have been reported for centuries, with stories continuing into modern times. Finally, Cam shares an intriguing story about a woman seeking answers to her unsettling encounters with an unknown entity. All of this and more on this installment of Expanded Perspectives!
