Many mysteries accompany the revelations that Powers of Darkness, the Icelandic and Swedish versions of Dracula, are not direct translations of Bram Stoker's original, but stories that significantly differ in character names, plot and runtime. Like: did Bram Stoker write it himself, to publish some raunchy content that British censors would forbid? Was Powers of Darkness based on his early drafts? And did he really not copyright Dracula in the USA was that a deliberate ruse? Welllll... brace yourself for ole thrill-destroyer Zaltzman to pop your balloons of excitement. Searching for the truth among all the rumours and texts are producer Iris Ishichita of the Powers of Darkness podcast, and Will Trimble and Hans Corneel de Roos, who orchestrated English translations of respectively the Swedish and Icelandic Powers of Darknesses. This is the third episode of the Draculae miniseries. Before listening to it, check out the first and second episodes explaining the three versions of Dracula and why we are talking about them.

The autumn wind howled across the rugged cliffs of Whitby, driving a thick, salty spray against the stone walls of the old rectory. Inside, the fire crackled, casting long, dancing shadows across the room where Mina Murray and her dear friend Lucy Westenra sat. Lucy looked pale, her usual bright spirit dampened by a strange, recurring dream of a dark silhouette outside her window.

This week we kick off Pride 2026 with a look at the sapphic doom of Dracula's Daughter, the sequel to the landmark horror movie, 1931's Dracula. The 30's was rough on everyone being that we were smack dab in the middle of The Great Depression so taking wild chances on vanity projects was bad for business. Not to be outdone in the realm of bad business decisions, Universal Studios took on two ill-advised projects that put the future of the studio in jeopardy. With the Laemmle family out of the picture, the studio committed to a sequel to one of its biggest hits of the decade and put it in the hands of the horniest writers in Hollywood who asked what if our movie's vampire was also haunted by her desire for women? Dracula's Daughter finds the titular woman in London immediately following the destruction of her father by Abraham Van Helsing. She steals his body, ritually destroys it, and then finds herself still unable to resist hunting London's young women. Desperate, she turns to a psychiatrist to free her from her diabolical curse, being a lesbian.

Cultists 2024's Abigail isn't a "Remake" of Dracula's Daughter. To call it a "Reimagining" would even feel like a stretch. Instead it takes just the core concept of Dracula having a daughter and builds a blood splattered "Monster In The House" action comedy from it.

Carmilla is a Gothic novella by Joseph Sheridan le Fanu. First published in 1872, it tells the story of a young woman's susceptibility to the attentions of a female vampire named Carmilla. Carmilla predates Bram Stoker's Dracula by over twenty years, had a strong influence on Stoker's famous novel. (Summary from Wikipedia)Genre(s): Horror & Supernatural FictionLanguage: English
After playing Dracula hundreds of times on stage and making numerous screen appearances in a variety of roles, Bela Lugosi spent his final years battling addiction, checking himself into a psychiatric ward, accepting charity from strangers, paying his ex-wife one dollar a month in alimony, and watching his career dissolve into Ed Wood's z-grade pictures until his death, after which he was buried in his iconic vampiric cape.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/BelaLugosiFEATURED STORIES IN 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. (The Murderous Papin Sisters) *** You think you know what Halloween is all about, but you might not—not really. After all, it wasn't always about carving pumpkins and collecting candy. (Why Celebrate Halloween) *** When it comes to murder investigations, the skeletons in everyone's closets – even those who are only peripheral characters in the drama – can still have their darkest secrets revealed. (The Mystery of the Poisoned Powder) *** And if I was to tell you I had a story called “The Woodchipper Murder” you might think it sounds like something out of the movie “Fargo” - but for Helle Nielsen, it was all too real.

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show somehow turns into a full-blown academic collapse as the gang spirals into a chaotic spelling bee competition that proves middle schoolers are smarter than every adult in the room. Seriously… nobody could spell “diarrhea” without looking like they were fighting demons.

Honestly, if spelling counted as cardio, this episode would qualify as CrossFit.Then things shift into celebrity chaos with Crap on Celebrities featuring emotional David Lee Roth stories, Ted Nugent tour updates, Nicolas Cage lying in Elvis Presley's bed, and the heartbreaking realization that Heath Ledger is still gone and we're all still upset about it. Plus: Russell Crowe yelling at autograph hunters, Jerry Seinfeld allegedly crushing a child's spirit, and James Corden once again proving that every rude celebrity rumor about him somehow feels believable.Also in today's mess:Beartooth singer Caleb Shomo publicly comes out and opens up emotionally about his journeyReba McEntire continues being America's favorite redheaded auntRob Base gets remembered properly because “It Takes Two” still slaps at weddingsThe gang debates celebrity jerks and who's secretly awful in real lifeRizz delivers a Dracula impression so powerful it may legally count as theaterThis daily comedy show is packed with celebrity news, hilarious fails, pop culture commentary, weird news, music stories, and the kind of sarcastic group therapy only The Rizzuto Show can provide.

Happy World Dracula Day to all who celebrate! Visit theallusionist.org/draculae2 for more information about the topics in this episode plus a transcript.This is the second episode of the Draculae miniseries, about a literary mystery which came to me via a meme: “Someone translated Dracula into Icelandic, and it took over 100 years for anyone to point out he just made a fanfic rewrite of what he wanted the story to be.”In Draculae part 2, Ásgeir Jónsson explains how he got that Icelandic adaptation of Dracula back into print, to little fanfare - but then Dutch scholar Hans Corneel de Roos set about making an English translation. Following that: like me, Will Trimble also got meme-struck, and that propelled him to get a translation of the Swedish version that begat the Icelandic one.Before listening to this, check out the first episode of the Draculae miniseries explaining the three versions of Dracula: Dracula published by Bram Stoker in 1897; the Icelandic version Makt Myrkranna by newspaper editor Valdimar Ásmundsson, serialised in his newspaper Fyallkonan in 1900-1901; and the Swedish version Mörkrets makter by an author known only as A—e, and serialised in a couple of Swedish newspapers 1899-1900.Sign up at theallusionist.org/donate to fund the continuing existence of this independent podcast.

Dave: Absolute Martian Manhunter #12 (Werther Dell'Edera Card Stock Cover) Alex: Wiccan & Hulkling: Raid of Ultron #1 Interview - Kenny Porter, Tyrell Cannon - Operation: Iron Coffin - July 8th - FOC June 1 Asking for an elevator pitch usually feels a bit cliche as an interviewer, but then Operation: Iron Coffin feels like it deserves it since it kind of has the perfect tight setup, care to share one? Earlier this year you mentioned to Chris Coplan Dracula isn't really a hero here, even if he's the protagonist. How important was it to frame this as a redemption story without ever sanding off the uglier truths about who Dracula is and what he's done? Tyrell, you talked before about Dracula wrestling with the cost of his immortality and violence. Visually, how do you show that internal conflict in a character who often presents himself as cold, confident, and almost unstoppable? The first issue moves at a breakneck pace, but there are key flashbacks and supernatural moments that hint at something deeper under the grindhouse chaos. Kenny, how did you approach layering emotional depth into something that's also designed to feel like an adrenaline-fueled action movie? The Nazi train setup creates this perfect “one nightmare after another” structure where every car can introduce a new horror. Was the book always designed like a deadly gauntlet, or did the train concept evolve as you built the story? There's a fascinating tension between nature and science in the issue, especially with Dracula as this ancient evil crashing into engineered horrors and wartime experimentation. Was that thematic contrast something you wanted front and center from the beginning? Tyrell, one thing I loved was how physically dominant Dracula feels. He's ripping people apart, shrugging off attacks, and moving through scenes like a slasher villain unleashed. What were the biggest influences behind the choreography and sheer brutality of the action sequences? Hazel and Ivy immediately make a strong impression, especially because they seem to understand Dracula in ways others don't. What can you tease about their dynamic with him and why they're such dangerous opponents specifically for this version of Dracula? Kenny, the issue somehow makes Dracula sympathetic without asking readers to forget he's a monster. Were there any versions of Dracula in film, literature, or comics that influenced your take, or did you intentionally try to move away from previous interpretations? Fun/silly question: if your Dracula had a playlist blasting while he fought his way through the Nazi train, what songs or bands would absolutely be on it? Fun/silly question to cap things off: Dracula has now fought through a Nazi train like the star of the wildest action movie never made. If you could drop your version of Dracula into any other movie genre or setting next, where would you send him?

The Supervillains are back! And no, we're not talking about The Guys, though all three of them are in the studio today. It's time for a catch-up episode on the Regrettable Supervillains segment, aka Jay's Regrettable Segment. He mustered up a couple of doozies in this episode. Let us begin. First up is The Dictator, aka Hitler disguised as the devil. The Guys aren't sure he's redeemable, but his arch-enemy Mr. Justice has a quirky backstory. Then comes Dr. Dracula, who neither sees patients, teaches students, or hails from Transylvania. What's up with this guy? Not much, as it turns out. It doesn't take much for Captain Battle and sidekick Hale to overcome him and his Nazi spies dressed like bats. How a superhero lost an eye might make for a better story. Before they get to Villain news, though, it's time for Geeks of the Week. More sad news from Art? Afraid so, and this time it's Roger Sweet: without him there would be no He-Man movie this year. And there is great anticipation that none of the guys will be able to see any of 2026's movies in a local Infinity Vision theater - who's ready to sponsor a work trip to Vegas? Robbie teases the teaser from the new season of Ted Lasso, and also announces (to GOCA listeners, anyway) that there's about to be one less Cook in the kitchen at Apple. Jay was going to apply for the job, until found out they make computers, not pies.
London's Dracula Connections: Victorian Vampires, Penny Dreadfuls & the Lyceum Theatre (World Dracula Day Special)On World Dracula Day (26 May), London History Podcast host Hazel Baker speaks with Lambeth tour guide and Gothic novelist David Turnbull about how a century of Gothic writing and London locations shaped Bram Stoker's Dracula. They trace early vampire traits through Coleridge's Christabel, Byron's circle and the Villa Diodati summer, Polidori's The Vampyre, and the influence of penny dreadfuls like Varney the Vampire and Lloyd's publications, before moving to Fleet Street magazines and Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla. The conversation highlights Stoker's Lyceum Theatre work under Henry Irving, the Beefsteak Room's literary influences (including Burton and Vambéry), Stoker's research at the British Museum and London Library, and Dracula's London settings from Piccadilly and King's Cross to Hampstead. They discuss Dracula's slow initial success, rivalry with The Beetle, and its 20th-century rise via Hamilton Deane and Bela Lugosi, ending with Turnbull's Dracula-influenced novel The Hurdy Gurdy Man and related London tours.00:00 Introduction05:39 The Romantic Poets & Vampire Origins17:17 Penny Dreadfuls & Fleet Street31:57 Dracula's London Locations36:19 Dracula's Rise to FameSee Show Notes

Further reading: Rare pterosaur fossil reveals crocodilian bite 76m years ago Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Let's learn about a type of pterosaur that lived around 75 million years ago in what is now Canada, and we'll specifically learn about an individual young pterosaur that had a very bad day, a bad day that's preserved in the fossil record. Pterosaurs were flying reptiles that lived alongside dinosaurs, but weren't actually dinosaurs. Some of them got as big as small airplanes while some were barely the size of chickens. Cryodrakon was one of the biggest ones, with an estimated wingspan of 33 feet, or 10 meters, for an adult animal—maybe even bigger. We don't know the adults' size for sure because we only have a few fossils of adult Cryodrakons, and those are incomplete. Mostly we have fossils of young individuals. The older juveniles had a wingspan of around 16 feet, or 5 meters, which is still pretty darn big. Cryodrakon was the first pterosaur discovered in Canada, with fossils found in Alberta in 1972. Since then more fossils have been discovered in the same province, especially in what's called the Dinosaur Park Formation. Like other pterosaurs in the family Azhdarchidae, Cryodrakon had long legs and a very long neck with long jaws. Most scientists think it spent a lot of time on land, hunting small animals. It could fold the longest part of its wings up out of the way in order to walk on all fours. A flying animal's wing, whether it's a pterosaur or a bird or a bat, is a modified arm. Insects are different because they're invertebrates. In bats, the fingers are elongated with strong skin stretched between them to form a wing. In birds, the fingers are fused into a sort of stump and most of the flying surface is feathers. In pterosaurs, one or two fingers were elongated like a bat's, but the other fingers were short and blunt. These are the fingers that azhdarchids could walk on when the rest of the fingers, and therefore the wing, was folded up so it wouldn't get in the way. We know it's possible for a winged animal to walk this way because vampire bats do it just fine, and they're able to run around quite fast on the ground. An adult Cryodrakon walking on all fours would have been about as tall as a modern giraffe because of its long neck. Its neck was strong and its head large, so it could easily grab a little running dinosaur and swallow it whole, maybe giving it a good chomp with its toothless jaws first. While azhdarchids probably couldn't run, because the hind legs weren't very strong and the feet were small, it could probably walk pretty quickly. And, of course, it could fly extremely well. Scientists think it launched into the air by pushing off the ground with its wings, not its back legs. In older episodes we've talked about some other species of pterosaur from this same family, especially Quetzalcoatlus, a genus of exceptionally large pterosaurs discovered in North America. The largest individuals may have had a wingspan potentially more than 36 feet, or 11 meters. But in 2002 a remarkably complete pterosaur fossil was discovered in Romania, and while we don't have the complete wing bones, estimates suggest this new species might even be larger than Quetzalcoatlus. Some estimates put its wingspan at 39 feet across, or 12 meters. It had a shorter neck than other azhdarchids but a massive head. Its neck was about 5 feet long, or 1.5 meters, while its skull was at least that long and possibly as much as 8 feet long, or 2.5 meters. The Romanian specimen was named Hatzegopteryx but the specimen has been nicknamed Dracula (also the name of my cat). Some scientists initially argued that Dracula was just an especially big Quetzalcoatlus, but while it was probably a close relative, it's too different to be the same species. Despite their huge size, pterosaur bones were delicate because the animals had to be light enough to fly. That means they had air pockets or spongy internal structures in their bones, and that means their bones were much less likely to preserve. The most likely reason we have so many more fossils from young pterosaurs than old ones is because many species of pterosaur appear to have nested together. It's a sad fact of life for wild animals that many young ones don't survive, so the fossils of young pterosaurs probably come from nesting areas. And that brings us to our young Cryodrakon who had a terminally bad day. In 2023, researchers found a neck bone of a cryodrakon that had a puncture right through it. The hole in the bone is about 4 mm across and circular, and the scientists who examined it think it's from a crocodilian tooth. We don't know if the baby pterosaur was chomped to death by a crocodilian or if it was already dead and the crocodilian was scavenging it. That's not even the only Cryodrakon fossil that shows tooth marks. In 1995 the fossils of a young animal were found in a scattered state, with tooth marks on some of the bones. Even better from a scientific standpoint, but definitely not from a cryodrakon standpoint, a little piece of chipped-off tooth was found embedded in one of the bones. Researchers think the tooth comes from a small dromaeosaurid dinosaur found in the same area, Saurornitholestes. It only stood about two feet tall, or 60 cm, so if it was running around biting baby cryodrakons, I hope it was really fast. The mother pterosaur would eat a dinosaur that size like a potato chip. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!

A literary mystery came to me via a meme: “Someone translated Dracula into Icelandic, and it took over 100 years for anyone to point out he just made a fanfic rewrite of what he wanted the story to be.” In this first instalment of a short series about three versions of Dracula, we familiarise ourselves with the plots of Dracula published by Bram Stoker in 1897; the Icelandic version Makt Myrkranna by newspaper editor Valdimar Ásmundsson, serialised in his newspaper Fyallkonan in 1900-1901; and the Swedish version Mörkrets makter by an author known only as A—e, and serialised in a couple of Swedish newspapers 1899-1900.

Some say Zozo is just a trick of the mind, but after countless chilling Ouija board encounters and centuries of whispered warnings, maybe it's something far more sinister.EPISODE PAGE (includes sources and transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/SummoningZozoIN THIS EPISODE: The Zozo demon has allegedly harassed hundreds via their Ouija boards. But is this demonic force from the spirit world or from our own minds? *** Citizens of Van Meter, Iowa were confronted with a tall, human-like figure with bat-like wings, a single horn on its head, and it, apparently, was bullet-proof. What was this supernatural creature people were seeing? *** A bride-to-be becomes worried when her fiance disappears – so she contacts a psychic friend to see if she can help. *** Something sinister creeps into a Christian boarding house. *** Bram Stoker wrote his classic novel “Dracula” in 1897… but vampires are much, much older than that. *** A supposedly cursed doll has remained in the protection of one family for over four generations. But why would this family keep hold of such a demonic item? *** They are almost always silent, enigmatic figures usually seen at a distance up on ridges silhouetted against the darkening twilight sky, always at around dusk or dawn, quietly looking over and surveying their domain with unknowable purpose and often vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Many celebrate April 30 as “Halfway to Halloween,” but Walpurgis Night is more than just spooky fun — it's a night when witches rise, saints blur into goddesses, and ancient fires still burn.IN THIS EPISODE: “Walpurgis Night was when, according to the belief of millions of people, the devil was abroad—when the graves were opened and the dead came forth and walked. When all evil things of earth and air and water held revel.” – Bram Stoker, from “Dracula's Guest”. Walpurgis Night is something most English-speaking listeners won't know about – but it's being celebrated at this precise moment. While others are currently celebrating “Halfway to Halloween” or “Half-o-ween” for short… in Germany, they're celebrating a second Halloween which they call Walpurgisnacht – or “Walpurgis Night.” Plus, later in the show I'll share a story that was intended specifically to be read on Walpurgis Night – it's called “The Black Bargain” from PJ Hodge!CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate and Only Accurate For the Commercial Version)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:01:37.995 = Happy Walpurgisnacht, Everyone00:32:55.468 = The Black Bargain (a Fictional Story To Be Told on Walpurgis Night) ***00:48:10.168 = Show CloseSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Happy Walpurgisnacht, Everyone!” by Todd at GothicHorrorStories.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/a8svp23c“The Black Bargain” by PJ Hodge, posted at FreakyFolkTales.com: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/j49bd4=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
