It's time to dust off the ol' crucifix because “The Invisible Dan” and “Monster Mike” are diving into the film that made Christopher Lee a household name, and may also have established Dracula as a sexy/sad character, rather than just a bloodthirsty monster. That's right, they're talking about 1958's Dracula (aka Horror of Dracula)! Join them as they discuss Hammer's journey bringing Dracula to the big screen, including whittling the source material down to its bare essentials, the challenges of including so much sex and violence, and the interesting connection Hammer shared with Universal Pictures from inception all the way to the film's release.

In this fun episode Laura is joined by co-host Rina Malin to investigate this age-old dream of our teeth falling out and what it might mean. Laura discusses her own childhood trauma around breaking a front tooth and going to the dentist and they look at whether this prevalent dream – or should that be nightmare? – is linked with old fears, anxieties and stresses. Is it linked with the psychological impact of impending life changes and transformations? They discuss Freudian and Kleinian psychodynamic theories about elimination and the annihilation of Self. As a drill starts up in the background they joke about being in the dentist chair and Dracula while looking at theories around teeth representing power, strength and survival and how an animal baring its teeth as a warning has evolved into the human smile.

Send us a textStake, silver, and a whole lot of spectacle; this week we dive headfirst into Van Helsing (2004), the loud, lavish monster mash that tried to launch a new Universal era and left us with glorious chaos. We unpack why this movie still feels like a relic from a braver time in blockbuster filmmaking: a place where studios gambled on pulpy ideas, action never took a breath, and Dracula could fund Frankenstein's science to bring his bat-babies to life without irony getting in the way.We talk through the craft that often gets overlooked: the striking black-and-white prologue, clever camera choreography, map paintings that nod to classic Hollywood, and creature work that swings from impressive werewolf transformations to delightfully rubbery CGI. Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale anchor the adventure while the supporting cast leans hard into operatic camp, especially a Dracula who turns melodrama into a contact sport. At the center of the noise sits Frankenstein's monster, rendered as both eloquent and thunder-forged, the closest thing the film has to a soul.From there, we zoom out. Universal's long quest to revive its monster pantheon, theme park crossovers, and why Van Helsing tried to do in one film what today's studios stretch across phases. We compare it to Underworld, Reign of Fire, and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, drawing a line between bold swings that win hearts and calculated “universes” that lose them. Along the way, expect laughs about Faramir in a bumbling turn, Jekyll and Hyde's Andre the Giant homage, and a final set piece that's equal parts juicy and joyous.If you crave throwback adventure with teeth, this one's a wild ride worth revisiting.

Jim and Eric kick off this week's show with a very on-brand travel mishap from Jim's latest Hallmark-fueled road trip, then pivot back to the stuff you came for - Universal news, theme park weirdness, and one surprisingly deep dive into how Frankenstein's Monster became the pop culture template we all still recognize today. Along the way: Epic Universe breadcrumbs, a Vegas horror venue that might be scarier for its empty queue than its monsters, and why Boris Karloff's dentures deserve their own credit line. NEWS • Universal's proposed UK theme park clears another hurdle, with the project advancing in the approvals process and still targeting a 2031 opening • Universal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas adds a holiday horror overlay, but reports suggest the venue can feel eerily empty even during a supposedly busy week • A new “Galactic Expo” mural lands inside the Men in Black Alien Attack gift shop, packed with sci-fi Easter eggs • A new Men in Black film is reportedly in development - and Jim has thoughts on what that could mean for the long-running attraction • Universal's latest “Whatever Makes You Happy” merch drop leans hard into 1980s nostalgia, mashing up brands that make Eric do a double-take FEATURE • Why Universal rushed Frankenstein (1931) into production after Dracula hit big - and how it helped the studio dig out of debt • The behind-the-scenes moment when director James Whale spots Boris Karloff in the commissary and decides his face has “startling possibilities” • The unglamorous reality of monster-making: punishing makeup sessions, 65 pounds of costume, and the physical toll that followed Karloff for years • The lost-but-legendary Technicolor Frankenstein footage from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty that fans have been hunting for decades HOSTS • Jim Hill - IG: @JimHillMedia | X: @JimHillMedia | Website: JimHillMedia.com • Eric Hersey - IG: @erichersey | X: @erichersey FOLLOW • Facebook: JimHillMediaNews • Instagram: JimHillMedia • TikTok: JimHillMedia SUPPORT Support the show and access bonus episodes and additional content at Patreon.com/JimHillMedia.

Is there a new space race to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon? This week on Ninjas Are Butterflies, we dig into reports claiming just that, as well as a disturbing missing child case near Dracula's castle, and claims of a CIA-backed digital network designed to monitor and control more than we're told. Episode 173 connects Cold War energy, modern surveillance, and old-world darkness—because of course it does. We break down why the Moon suddenly needs nuclear power, and who's racing to get there first. The eerie disappearance near Romania's most infamous landmark, and allegations of a hidden digital control grid—and how deep it might go.

The books we have read since the last time include: THE CHICKEN SISTERS by KJ Dell'Antonia CITIZEN REPORTERS by Stephanie Gorton DREAM STATE by Eric Puchner FIEND by Alma Katsu WHAT CAN I BRING by Casey Elsass MORE THAN ENOUGH by Anna Quindlen (release date 2/24/2026) We had some fun Biblio Adventures, including running into author Hank Philipi Ryan when we went to see Hanna Halperin in conversation with Oyinkan Braithwaite at The Harvard Bookstore. We spent the day in Boston before that evening's event, starting with a delicious lunch at Flour Bakery + Cafe. Highlights include visiting the Houghton Library, Bob Slate Stationer, the Grolier Poetry Book Shop, and the Harvard Art Museum. We discuss Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, DRACULA. Emily enjoyed a conversation between cookbook writers, Casey Elsass and Dorie Greenspan. She also watched the first episode of The Chicken Sisters, a new serial based on the novel. Chris went on a road trip around Rhode Island and Cape Cod, searching out lighthouses and trolls created by Thomas Dambo. Oh, and we announce our reading theme and first readalong book for 2026.

rWotD Episode 3148: Terence Fisher Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Tuesday, 16 December 2025, is Terence Fisher.Terence Fisher (23 February 1904 – 18 June 1980) was a British film director best known for his work for Hammer Films.He was the first to bring gothic horror alive in full colour, and the sexual overtones and explicit horror in his films, while mild by modern standards, were unprecedented in his day. His first major gothic horror film was The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), which launched Hammer's association with the genre and made British actors Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee leading horror stars of the era. He went on to film several adaptations of classic horror subjects, including Dracula (1958), The Mummy (1959), and The Curse of the Werewolf (1961).Given their subject matter and lurid approach, Fisher's films, though commercially successful, were largely dismissed by critics during his career. It is only in recent years that Fisher has become recognised as an auteur in his own right. His most famous films are characterised by a blend of fairytale myth and the supernatural alongside themes of sexuality, morality, and "the charm of evil", often drawing heavily on a conservative Christian outlook.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:05 UTC on Tuesday, 16 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Terence Fisher on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Danielle.
"Drácula" es una novela de fantasía gótica escrita por Bram Stoker, publicada en 1897. Publicada en castellano por Ediciones Hymsa bajo la colección La novela aventura en 1938, con portada de Juan Pablo Bocquet e ilustraciones de Femenía. Drácula fue elogiada por autores como Arthur Conan Doyle u Oscar Wilde. Hasta el día de hoy no ha dejado de publicarse, ha sido traducida a más de cincuenta idiomas y ha logrado vender alrededor de doce millones de copias. Sin embargo, era mantenida en el terreno marginal de la literatura sensacionalista y solo en 1983 fue incorporada entre los clásicos de la Universidad de Oxford. Su personaje protagonista, el conde Drácula, se volvió el arquetipo de vampiro occidental por antonomasia, siendo considerado el más famoso de la cultura popular. La popularidad de su personaje es tal que ha sido adaptado al cine, cómics, teatro y/o televisión en innumerables ocasiones; siendo la más fiel al libro y la más destacada la adaptación al cine realizada por Francis Ford Coppola en 1992.

From queue changes to construction walls to nighttime lagoon testing, the parks offer plenty to parse this week. The guys then pivot from the Epic Universe lagoon to Universal's classic monsters, using the buzz around Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein to explore how the 1931 film lurched into existence. Expect lost projects, studio pivots, and a Monster role Bela Lugosi famously refused. NEWS • VelociCoaster ends its single rider line, likely due to party sorting and load-efficiency issues. • Warner Bros. Discovery is reportedly shopping DC theme park rights to Universal, raising big questions for Marvel, Six Flags, and international parks. • Removal of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit sparks speculation, though new construction-wall posters suggest general theming rather than a specific IP. • Nighttime testing at the Epic Universe lagoon shows projection effects featuring a bird-or-dragon silhouette. • Universal Studios Hollywood opens sales for FanFest Nights and a late-night New Year's Eve event, prompting questions about noise control before Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift debuts. FEATURE • Guillermo del Toro's long-gestating Frankenstein began as a Universal concept more than a decade ago. • Jim walks through how Universal's early monster era took shape under financial pressure following the 1929 crash. • The studio acquired stage rights to Frankenstein after Dracula's success, initially planning it for Bela Lugosi, who rejected the role. • The episode ends as Universal begins hunting for a new star, eventually leading James Whale to discover Boris Karloff in the studio lunchroom.

Count Dracula's Great Love (1973), Horror Rises from the Tomb (1973), Panic Beats (1983) We're finally back to discuss the wonderful cinematic world of Paul Naschy! Back in episode 21, we covered three different entries in Naschy's werewolf films. So this time out, we are covering three of his NON-werewolf titles. It's important to remind fans that while he was known for his Waldemar Daninsky werewolf films, he made plenty of other films, incorporating a bunch of different kind of monsters. And if you are familiar with more of his work, then what better time to revisit some of them, right? Making over a hundred titles in his career spanning decades, Paul Naschy loved the horror genre and made the kind of films he wanted to, giving fans a wide variety of well-known beasties, as well as ones we'd never seen before. While some might say they vary in quality, Naschy's passion never did, and he always put his heart and soul into each one of them. Films mentioned in this episode: Beast and the Magic Sword (1983), Count Dracula (1970), Count Dracula's Great Love (1973), Count Yorga (1970), Curse of the Devil (1973), Dracula (1974), Dr. Jekyll vs the Werewolf (1972), Frankenstein's Bloody Terror (1968), Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man (1943), The Frenchman's Garden (1978), The Hanging Woman (1973), Horror Rises from the Tomb (1973), Howl of the Devil (1988), Hunchback of the Morgue (1973), The Mummy's Revenge (1975), The Night of the Executioner (1999), Night of the Werewolf (1981), Nightmare Castle (1965), Panic Beats (1983), People Who Own the Dark (1976), Santo vs Doctor Death (1973), She Killed in Ecstasy (1971), Snowbeast (1977), Vampyros Lesbos (1971), Vengeance of the Zombies (1973), The Wolf Man (1941)

A German occultist stole Bram Stoker's Dracula to make a film about pandemic fears, Stoker's widow ordered every copy burned, and yet Nosferatu survived to become the most influential vampire movie ever made.IN THIS EPISODE: The 1922 horror classic "Nosferatu" still turns up, on TV and on college campuses every Halloween. And it'll likely show up again somewhere this year as well. In this episode we'll look at how Nosferatu isterrifyingly relevant even still today, the controversial making of the film – and the lawsuit by Bram Stoker's wife, how the director of the film was involved in the occult… and how you would not have wanted to miss the film's premiere which was an unforgettable, epic event all by itself. That and a whole lot more about 1922's Nosferatu, on this episode of Weird Darkness.

De boekenclub is er weer! Dit keer duiken Maarten en Tom in Dracula. Waarom blijft de klassieker van Bram Stoker ruim een eeuw later zo fascinerend? Ze nemen je mee door het verhaal, plaatsen het in historisch perspectief en reageren op de meest opvallende luisteraarsinzendingen.
We recently spent three weeks in North Wales, and TBH, we left a big part of our hearts in Cymru. From the mystical borderlands to the rugged coastline and the top of Snowdon, Wales is thick with friendly sheep, genial locals, alluringly dark folklore, and natural-born storytellers. A few bits and bobs about Wales: It's symbolized by a ferocious red dragon (and the yellow daffodil). Its lakes, rivers, and mountains are home to the fair folk (the Tylwyth Teg). And it's known as the Land of Castles (more than 600 of them on hilltops, overlooking the sea and millions of sheep). Wales is the place for you if you want to ramble around outside under moody skies; it's also the place for you if you prefer to be cozy — perhaps whilst drinking tea or whisky and feeding your mind with literary pursuits. In this episode, we highlight the literary hijinks that abound in Wales: libraries, bookshops, legendary authors, and ancient tales. We learn about a Christmas tradition that's equal parts silly and spooky — and a madcap endurance race with unusual participants. Then we recommend great books that took us there on the page, including a literary story on a rugged Welsh island, a gripping mystery in Cardiff, a travelogue stuffed with delicious food stories, a rock-n-roll memoir, and a modern retelling of Dracula set in a Welsh village.

Sixteen years after the previous film (The Godfather Part II) in this saga won him Oscars for Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Picture...Oscar-winning legend Francis Ford Coppola (Apocolypse Now, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Conversation) returned to both co-write and direct this final entry in the beloved sage of The Corleone Family. And this time around even though the film was nominated for seven Oscars including Best Picture, it didn't win any.....and the consensus was that it was below the quality for the first two despite including acclaimed performances by its three main stars including Al Pacino (who returned to play Michael Corleone), the late, great Diane Keaton (who returned to play Kay Corleone), and Oscar-nominated Andy Garcia who played Michael's nephew Vincent. Infact, it was considered by many to be by far the weakest film in the trilogy. So thirty years later during an extended COVID lock-down, Coppola decided re-edit Part III and by the end of 2020, a newly reworked version was released to both theaters and streaming. Celebrating The Godfather Part III's 35th Anniversary, we will review this latest version to find out how or IF it improves upon the original version released on Christmas of 1990.

Here on This Paranormal Life, we've investigated a LOT cursed objects - ancient amulets, cursed dolls and even a couple evil Furbies… But today's object is something special. It's an artifact so cursed that even gazing at it for longer than 30 seconds can be dangerous. It was once owned by DRACULA (well, the guy who played Dracula in the movies) and was eventually passed down to a man who was murdered right in front of it. It's time for Rory and Kit to investigate Bela Lugosi's haunted mirror.
