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.

The Country Music Dads dive headlong into the world of children's literature, pop culture and its intersection with country music. We discuss the viral video of Ludacris' incredible rapping of the book Llama Llama Red Pajama, discuss our favorite kids' books, which ones would make incredible country music songs and who should cut them. Show Notes: 2:22: The Kids Books We Love and Love to Hate: Dave and Donnie discuss the nighttime classics and some modern-day page turners for kids (and those reading them to kids). And what would a podcast episode be without some conflict -- so we jumped on a few we wish would just fall behind the bookshelf. 21:27: Books That Sound Like Country Songs: Before diving into who should sing our kids' book songs, the Country Music Dads explore the fairly significant crossover between country music songwriting and children's book writing -- and some of those people who did both. Namely, Shel Silverstein. 38:34: Who Should Sing These Kids' Book Country Songs? From Colter Wall to Miranda Lambert, the Country Music Dads consider the best artists to bring these books to life. 46:57: Dad Life Sound Check: This recurring segment is an opportunity for Dave and Donnie to discuss a song that is hitting home in recent days. For Dave, "Buy Me a Boat" by Chris Janson had been resonating in his house, while Lasers Lasers Birmingham's "Shorter Letter" was touching a chord for Donnie.52:22: Change My Mind: Donnie challenges Dave to think differently about the glories of shopping at Costco -- from the sea of beautiful TVs, to rows of top-shelf bulk-size booze to Costco staples, like rotisserie chicken, availability of eggs and the $1.50 hot dog and soda.

In this chapter we have the next two Poe movies from Roger Corman, which each took a different direction. Tales of Terror (1962) was an anthology film featuring three different Poe stories, plus guest stars Peter Lorre and Basil Rathbone. While The Raven (1963) was a comedy horror tale of feuding sorcerers which saw Vincent Price plotting magical skulduggery with Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and a young Jack Nicholson!

Die, Monster, Die! (1965), Necronomicon (1993), and Gods of the Deep (2023) While Stephen King may dominate when it comes to movie adaptations of his work—good or bad—one might expect that H.P. Lovecraft, given his immense impact on the literary world, would inspire just as many films. Yet, despite his influence, far fewer movies have been made from his stories than you'd think. Perhaps it's because Lovecraft's horror isn't about the details of what his characters see, but rather what those horrors do to them—often driving them into madness. And therein lies the beauty of his work. In this episode, we dive into three very different films, spanning three decades, each drawing from the strange and unsettling tales of this enigmatic author from Providence, Rhode Island. If you're not well-versed in Lovecraft's work, this is your chance to experience three adaptations—loose as they may be—that offer a glimpse into his nightmarish imagination. Films Mentioned in this Episode: Castle Freak (1995), Color Out of Space (2019), Creepshow (1982), The Crimson Blade (1963), Crying Freeman (1995), Demon Wind (1990), The Devil-Ship Pirates (1964), Die, Monster, Die! (1965), Dracula Prince of Darkness (1966), The Dunwich Horror (1970), The Evil Dead (1981), From Beyond (1986), Gamera, Guardian of the Universe (1995), Gods of the Deep (2023), Hatchet (2006), The Haunted Palace (1963), Humanoids from the Deep (1981), In the Mouth of Madness (1994), The Invisible Ray (1935), Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988), Leprechaun (1993), Leprechaun 2 (1994), Leprechaun 4: In Space (1996), Leprechaun 5: In the Hood (2000), Leprechaun 6: Back 2 Tha Hood (2003), Lovecraft Country (2020), Lurking Fear (1994), Necronomicon (1993), Re-Animator (1985), Return of the Living Dead III (1993), The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), The Unnamable (1988), Vampyres (1974)

Mary Shelleys 1818 erschienener Roman "Frankenstein oder Der moderne Prometheus" gilt u.a. als die allererste Science Fiction Geschichte. Die Verfilmung von 1931 gab dem SciFi-Horror-Genre sein wohl berühmtestes Film-Monster, in Gestalt von Boris Karloff... Wir folgen einem roten Faden, der sich seit Jahren zwischen Dem Sumpf und Data seinem Hals hin und her spinnt, der uns zuletzt in die Geisterwelt Captain Blackbeards geführt hat und der uns über Blackbeards Urenkelin, gespielt von Elsa Lanchester, zu der Schöpfung künstlichen Lebens, den Urahnen aller Androiden, also zu den Filmen "Frankenstein" (1931) und "Frankensteins Braut" (1935) bringt.

Nathan and Ryan step into the shadowy world of film noir with Lured (1947), a stylish thriller starring Lucille Ball in a rare dramatic role. When a serial killer uses poetry to lure victims in London, Ball's character goes undercover to help the police track him down. With a cast that includes George Sanders and Boris Karloff, this underappreciated gem is packed with suspense, atmosphere, and surprising twists. Does Lured deserve a spot among the greats of the noir era? Tune in as the hosts break it all down!

We take a trip to Vienna to see what Boris Karloff looks like in color! Or is that colour? Troy and I discuss THE CLIMAX (1944), Universal's attempt to craft a follow-up to their 1943 hit remake of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. They took a 1909 stage play, grafted on some Phantom elements and used the same sets from the previous year's film to create a beautiful looking final product. They even carried over some of the cast in similar roles. But did they make a good movie? We dig into the things we like and dislike about this often overlooked entry in the horror films of the 1940's. Both of us marvel at the opulent sets while being impressed by Susanna Foster's singing talents while wondering about the movie's running time. We examine some of our favorite cast members including Gale Sondergaard and Thomas Gomez. The multiple audiences that the film was trying to appeal to comes under scrutiny as we lament the fact that the horror portion of the mix seems to get little attention. Sometimes striving for broad appeal results in a work that pleases no one. As the episode goes on we give voice to our many questions about the story's details that require an almost supernatural suspension of disbelief. If you have any comments about THE CLIMAX thebloodypit@gmail.com is the address. If you want to hear me ramble on about movies and media even more my Patreon page is active. Thank you for listening!

The mountain men who opened up the frontier in the west weren't settlers, they were trappers, traders, fighters and gunmen — the men who didn't fit back home. The kind of men who will be needed on the frontier of space… Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.As we get ready to celebrate our 3rd anniversary, we thought it was the perfect time to try something new! Today's story is a great example—it shares the same title as yesterday's, but it's by a completely different author and tells a totally different tale. And that's not the only first! We're also thrilled to welcome author Katherine MacLean to the podcast for the very first time.Katherine Anne MacLean was born in 1925 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey, and she was one of the early female voices in science fiction. Unlike some women writers of the 1950s who used male pen names, MacLean published most of her work under her own name. She made her debut with Defense Mechanism in the October 1949 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, and over the years, she wrote more than 40 short stories—most of them in the 1950s, though she kept writing all the way into the 1990s.Katherine MacLean even got a chance to write for television! She penned an episode for the 1962 British sci-fi series Out of This World, which was hosted by none other than Boris Karloff. Her episode, Pictures Don't Lie, aired on August 11, 1962, and was based on her short story of the same name. Out of This World on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhWWABp1BJ4Her work also made it to the big screen—her 1953 short story The Carnivore was adapted into the 2016 Brazilian film Carnívora. Let's flip through the May 1954 issue of Science Fiction Adventures magazine and turn to page 78, Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Adventure flamed in Mr. Meek's timorous heart, the surge of battle and singing blades.

2025 kicks off Big, Old, and Dark with Dalton's first solo pitch of the season! It's a modern twist on gothic horror, based on a 1928 novel by J.B.

There is a centuries-old ritual where monks volunteer to mummify themselves while they are still alive. It's as fascinating as it is creepy!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: One of the greatest monsters ever to be brought to the screen was The Mummy, portrayed by Boris Karloff. We have, of course, seen numerous recreations of the creature since the original Universal film, but still, the image is grotesque and frightening no matter the incarnation. To see a mummy in real-life is that much more shocking. But real fear… real terror… would be if you yourself were to be mummified… while still alive. (To Be Mummified Alive) *** In the days that followed the rescue of 11-year-old Terry Jo Duperrault from the wreckage of the yacht called the Bluebelle, it would became clear that a storm hadn't destroyed the ship, as the previously-rescued captain, Julian A. Harvey, had said earlier. A storm hadn't killed everyone aboard… Harvey himself had. (The Final Voyage of the Bluebelle) *** When a loved one passes away, we sometimes wish we could speak to them one last time. Some people report they received phone calls or voicemails they believe are from their deceased loved ones. Sometimes they come through as eerie otherworldly static, while other times the ghostly caller is able to communicate one last message. We'll share a few true stories from people who have received phone calls from the beyond. (Phone Calls From Beyond The Grave) *** If you buy a furnished home and move the furniture to clean the floor – and the furniture moves back on its own – you can be pretty sure you've just moved into a haunted house. That's exactly what one family in Rockford, Illinois found out. (A Haunting on School Street) *** And I'll end the episode with the story that I began it with – a short story by Louisa May Alcott called “Lost in a Pyramid”… or “The Mummy's Curse”. A story that went pretty much unnoticed when it was originally published in 1869, but has had somewhat become undead since 1998 when it was rediscovered and is now considered an influential example of early “mummy's curse” narratives.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and Cold Open00:01:37.790 = Show Intro00:05:01.001 = The Final Voyage of the Bluebelle00:20:11.534 = Phone Calls From Beyond the Grave00:39:14.307 = A Haunting On School Street00:46:01.709 = To Be Mummified Alive00:54:14.718 = The Mummy's Curse (Lost in a Pyramid) – fictional story01:19:26.675 = Show OutroSOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…“The Final Voyage of the Bluebelle” by Lucia for The Ghost In My Machine: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/23utyhja“Phone Calls From Beyond the Grave” by Amanda Ashley for Graveyard Shift: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/7bw36uh4“A Haunting on School Street” by Kathi Kresol for Haunted Rockford: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/s3c76yeb“To Be Mummified Alive' by Bipin Dimri for Historic Mysteries: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/j89cukfe“The Mummy's Curse/Lost In a Pyramid” by Louisa May Alcott: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/pwd9h3cbWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

The stellar cast includes Agnes Moorehead as the resilient protagonist, Ellen Harper, William Conrad as the enigmatic stranger, Joseph Kearns as the cautious Sheriff Bradley, and Lurene Tuttle as the warm-hearted neighbor, Mrs. Jennings. Following "Suspense," the evening continues with "Lights Out" and the eerie episode "Lord Marley's Ghost," which first haunted the airwaves on July 14, 1937. In this ghostly narrative, the spirit of Lord Marley returns to his ancestral home on the eve of its demolition, seeking vengeance and closure. This atmospheric tale is sure to send shivers down your spine, performed by a dedicated cast featuring Boris Karloff as the tormented Lord Marley and Mercedes McCambridge as the skeptical historian, Helen Ashcroft. Concluding the night is "Murder at Midnight" with the episode "Murder is a Lonely Business," broadcasted on December 12, 1946. In this gripping story, a reclusive author finds his quiet seaside retreat turned into a deadly trap when he discovers a body on the beach, leading him into a web of intrigue and suspicion. The episode features Raymond Edward Johnson in the lead role of Charles Manner, with Elspeth Eric as his suspicious neighbor, Mrs. Ellis, and Berry Kroeger as the determined Detective Larson.

In this episode, we tackle two Frankenstein films. First up, Boris Karloff returns to the franchise in FRANKENSTEIN 1970. Then, we head overseas for a Italian take on the fabled tale that has more than we bargained for in FRANKENSTEIN 80.

Our Return to Hammerland is complete with this one-two-punch review of both takes on The Old Dark House!In our final episode of the year, Ian and AC look at James Whale's 1932 Universal spook-fest, starring Boris Karloff and Gloria Stuart--and William Castle's Hammer-produced 1963 remake. Both are very different adaptations of the J.B. Priestley novel, which centers on an eccentric family who oversees a dilapidated mansion--and the bizarre secrets within!In this spoiler-filled dive into the "quirky horror" subgenre, the guys examine how two films, made thirty years apart, tackle the same premise in ways that make them both essential viewing. In short, the term "remake" is apt but very loose, and it's easy to imagine another take on the material that combines each film's best elements into a horror-comedy version of Clue!Also, the guys talk about the strange new direction this series is headed in 2025.

In this charming episode, originally broadcast on December 26th, 1948, the Nelson family decides to skip their usual lavish Christmas show to enjoy a simple, quiet Christmas at home, only to find themselves inadvertently entertaining a stream of unexpected guests. The episode stars Ozzie Nelson as himself, Harriet Nelson as herself, along with their real-life sons, David and Ricky Nelson, also playing themselves. Following the Nelsons, we'll hear the timeless tale of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," a story that captures the heart with its message of the true spirit of the holiday transcending materialism.

The show blends Doris's musical talents with a lighthearted storyline that epitomizes the festive season's spirit. Join us for these back-to-back vintage classics that promise to fill your home with warmth and laughter, capturing the essence of the holiday season.

Frederick Rutland was nothing short of a navy hero in the UK following WWI, but his own charisma, quirks, and opportunism led him to Hollywood to spy for Japan in the years leading to Pearl Harbor, playing a key role in the Japanese attack. Though British officials knew what he was doing, they quietly sidelined him to avoid the public embarrassment of revealing one of their own as a traitor. Author Ron Drabkin shares the outrageous story of Rutland, including his friendships with Hollywood stars such as Charlie Chaplin and Boris Karloff, from his book "Beverly Hills Spy." Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

As shoppers are sacrificing themselves at America's remaining retail stores and half-closed shopping malls in their holy quest for suspect bargains, Bob and Greg celebrate another BLACK FRIDAY by smoking lots of weed and watching BLACK FRIDAY (1940) in this surprise mini-episode. BLACK FRIDAY is a batshit cross between a Universal monster movie and a Warner Bros gangster flick. It stars BORIS KARLOFF as a well-meaning but appropriately mad scientist who transfers the brain of a mobster into the body of a kindly English professor from an upstate New York college (Stanley Ridges??? in a dual role). BELA LUGOSI is underused as a Hungarian mob boss, but a little bit of Bela is better than no Bela at all. Don't try to make too much sense of this one. Just vape and enjoy the craziness from Curt Siodmak, who wrote the Universal monster classic THE WOLF MAN the very next year. Bob and Greg also talk about the new SALEM'S LOT on Max, as well as A RETURN TO SALEM'S LOT (1987) where iconoclastic director SAM FULLER (40 GUNS) stars as a Nazi/vampire hunter--or I should say "NAZI KILLER." Yeah, Sam Fuller, staking Nazi vampires and shooting them with a Luger he took off a slain SS officer. Four stars. This episode was recorded totally spur of the moment, so we couldn't round up the full cast. Please let us know if you want us to do more of these mini-eps. Come back next month for our NOSFERA-TWO CHRISTMAS where MATT ZOLLER SEITZ joins us to pair weed with the 1922 and 1979 versions of the vampire epic in anticipation of the release of Robert Eggers' new version CHRISTMAS DAY.

These two titans of the horror film genre gave us endless hours of chills and thrills in their portrayal of such iconic movie monsters as Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, and The Mummy. This week's Halloween episode pays tribute to the films and lives of these two incredible actors.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Karloff: The Life of Boris Karloff (1972), by Peter Underwood; The Films of Boris Karloff (1974), by Richard Bojarski; Lugosi: The Forgotten King (1986), Documentary; Boris Karloff: More Than a Monster (2011), by Stephen Jacobs; No Traveler Returns: The Lost Years of Bela Lugosi (2916), by Gary D.
