On The Literary Life Podcast this week, our hosts continue with part 2 of their series on Bram Stoker's Dracula. After sharing their commonplace quotes, Angelina, Cindy and Thomas begin discussing how to properly read Dracula and other books written in this tradition. (Hint: It's not the Freudian or psychoanalytical approach!) Angelina argues that Bram Stoker was trying, among other things, to reintroduce the traditional forms and metaphors into the modern era. Thomas shares the dark etymology of the name Dracula and how that relates to the image of Satan in this character. Cindy brings up Jonathan's memory of Mina when he is in his darkest moments and the power of love against evil.

#WDRadio WEEK OF OCTOBER 05,2025 | For centuries, Transylvania has harbored a mystery far stranger than vampires—documented UFO sightings dating back to 1595, including a Romanian fighter jet's confirmed collision with four unidentified objects in 2007. From medieval chronicles to modern military reports, Europe's most mysterious region has been watching the skies, but why have the skies been watching back?==========HOUR ONE: “The Gadsden Hotel in Cochise County, Arizona” *** When you hear the name “Transylvania” the immediate image in your mind is probably that of Dracula. But this Romanian town has more creepiness than just the Count's castle – it is also a hot spot for UFO activity and mysterious unexplained happenings. Some even think it could be the location of a portal to another dimension. (Is There A Dimensional Portal in Transylvania?) *** Sightings of unidentified flying objects might seem like a recent phenomena, with most reports occurring in the 20th and 21stcenturies. But UFO sightings go a lot further back in human history – and our ancient ancestors were just as shocked, confused and sometimes terrified, as we are today. (Ancient UFO Sightings)==========HOUR TWO: In the 1960s, Brian Leathley-Andrew investigated and reported on numerous cases of strange objects in the sky, trying to get to the truth of what people were seeing. But when sinister events began happening to him, he knew he had to walk away from his career in Ufology – or the government might make him go away. (UFO Hunter Becomes The Hunted) *** Saying the disappearance of David Glenn Lewis is bizarre doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. What started out as a strange missing person's case would eventually be resolved. But the answer that would come would pose even more questions, proving the adage that “truth is stranger than fiction”. (The Disappearance of David Glenn Lewis) *** The idea of a person changing into a wolf, or shape-shifting into some type of animal or cryptid is mostly confined to the authors of fictional horror. But not all societies and cultures are so quick to label shape-shifting as make-believe. (Shapeshifters And Therianthropes)==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: A man goes off for supplies, leaving his wife behind to tend to the home in his absence – but not only did he never come home with the groceries, but a ghost story grew out of it. (The Ghosts of Hunger Valley) *** A UFO incident which we have covered before, but is worth looking at again, is an incident in 1952. This was one of the first admitted entity sightings and probably also one of the earliest close encounters of the third kind investigated officially at the time it took place.==========SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM TONIGHT'S SHOW:“The Gadsden Hotel in Cochise County, Arizona” from Paranormality Magazine“Is There A Dimensional Portal in Transylvania?” by A.

This week the hosts begin a month of classic Universal monster movies beginning with Dracula (1931). From wiki: "Dracula is a 1931 American pre-Code vampire film directed and co-produced by Tod Browning from a screenplay written by Garrett Fort and starring Bela Lugosi in the title role. It is based on the stage play Dracula by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston, which in turn is adapted from the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker.[3] Lugosi portrays Count Dracula, a vampire who emigrates from Transylvania to England and preys upon the blood of living victims, including a young man's fiancée."Also discussed: spiders, Sparks, transcendental meditation, One Battle After Another, Thomas Pynchon, Meiko Kaji films, and more.  NEXT WEEK: The Old Dark House (1932) Bloodhaus:https://www.bloodhauspod.com/https://www.instagram.com/bloodhauspod/https://letterboxd.com/bloodhaus/Drusilla Adeline:https://www.sisterhydedesign.com/https://letterboxd.com/sisterhyde/‪@sisterhyde.bsky.socialJoshua Conkelhttps://www.joshuaconkel.com/https://www.instagram.com/joshua_conkel/https://letterboxd.com/JoshuaConkel/

Ever since we saw The Cell (2000), its wild and disturbing visuals have been stuck in our heads. So we decided it was time for a deep dive to really explain what makes this movie so uniquely terrifying and brilliant. In this episode of The Cinema Psychos Show, Brian and special guest Jordan The Grey Witch give their full reaction and review. We'll break down Tarsem Singh's insane direction, Vincent D'Onofrio's chilling performance, and why Jennifer Lopez's role was such a big moment for her. Think of this as our ultimate movie recap for one of the most visually stunning horror films of the 2000s. Here's some of what we get into:  Our genuine reaction to the most messed-up scenes (you know the ones). How the costume design connects to Bram Stoker's Dracula. Why we think it's like "The Matrix in reverse for grown-ups." Analyzing the serial killer's psyche and the film's surprising depth. Our final verdict on whether this 2000 cult classic holds up.

We're looking back at the sequel to 1931's Dracula, Universal's Dracula's Daughter from 1936.

In this dark and thrilling episode, I sit down with comics legends Matt Wagner and Kelley Jones to talk about their gothic team-up on a new Dracula graphic novel series — a fresh, nightmarish take on the Lord of the Undead that blends Hammer horror, classic literature, and modern comics craft. We also dive deep into their iconic Batman work. Matt Wagner reflects on his acclaimed retellings of the Dark Knight's formative years in Batman and the Monster Men and Batman and the Mad Monk, grounded updates of the original Detective Comics stories that shaped Gotham's early shadows. Meanwhile, Kelley Jones revisits his unforgettable Batman: Red Rain, a horror-infused Elseworlds classic that reimagines Batman as a literal creature of the night — a vampire battling Dracula himself. Plus: Kelley's eerie, emotional Deadman mini-series, their shared love of horror as mythmaking, and what it means to push iconic characters into darker, more psychological terrain. A must-listen for fans of Batman, monsters, and the art of gothic reinvention.

The Out Now with Aaron and Abe horror specials are back for 2025, and the guys are kicking things off by looking at horror flicks focused on major scope, sizable ideas, and anything they'd consider epic.

Listen in to enjoy hearing about how they define an epic, only to go through several films each, with differing forms of logic as to how they arrived at placing them under this specific category.

True Blood, Twilight, Buffy… so many of us can't get enough of vampires and werewolves. But lately, our feeds have been flooded with full-on “Alpha” werewolf erotica — a darker, hungrier kind of fantasy. In this episode, we dig into how paranormal romance has shifted from seductive Draculas to dominant werewolves. Why is it everywhere now? Who's creating it? And is this just Beauty and the Beast on steroids or something more unsettling? Join us as we indulge our love of all things supernatural, just in time for Halloween month.   Clips featured in this episode: Gary Oldman in “Bram Stoker's Dracula” (1992 film) Matt Bourne in “Interview With the Vampire, Anne Rice, & 150 Years of Gay Vampires” Craig Thomson in the TED-Ed video “The dark history of werewolves” Frans de Waal in his TED talk “The surprising science of alpha males” “Claimed By The Mega Size Alpha King No She-Wolf Dared To Mate” by Wattpad Dark Romance Fantasy Stories Reference to ContaPoints YouTube video on Twilight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqloPw5wp48   Questions or Comments you'd like us to cover?

The show was wall-to-wall Yankees angst as the Bombers sit on the brink, Boone's bullpen moves under fire and the bats going dead when it mattered most. Boomer & Gio tried to pump optimism with lefties in the lineup and visions of a Bronx breakout, while Gio admitted it all feels like “here we go again.” Along the way we got Benigno raging at everyone from Stearns to Sauce, Jerry Jones rising “like Dracula,” a caller crowning Eddie the only true Mets fan, and Rex Ryan trading insults with Shedeur Sanders' mom. It all wrapped with Gio predicting a Yankees surge, Boomer wondering which Rodón shows up, and plenty of fumes—on and off the field.

Boomer & Gio stayed upbeat about the Yanks despite Wild Card jitters, with Boomer harping on the little things like Judge's bad arm. Jerry's update featured a Yankees hype video jabbing the Mets, Bregman's RBI, and Joe Benigno ripping Stearns, Mullins, and Sauce. Jerry Jones was “up like Dracula,” and talk closed on Tyreek Hill maybe being happy to sit, cash checks, and eye a new team.

It's All Horror October, and we love this time of year. The first entrée in our month-long horrorthon is a dive into Hammer Horror, the British studio that redefined gothic chills in the mid-20th century with lush sets, vivid color, and a young Christopher Lee baring his fangs. Adam Beam joins us to talk through Horror of Dracula (1958), Lee's first outing as the Count, and The Vampire Lovers (1970), Hammer's more sensual, blood-drenched take on the vampire myth—where David, true to form, falls head over heels for the lead lady vampire. This month we're pairing every fright with an Oktoberfest, starting with Yuengling's Oktoberfest. For the second half, we switch it up with Martin House Brewing's Saint Gria, a bloody-red beer with a bite.

Hammer horror reaches peak gothic chills with The Plague of the Zombies (1966), a Hammer Film Productions classic that defines British horror cinema. Shot at Bray Studios from 28 July 1965 and filmed back-to-back with Hammer's The Reptile (see episode 19), it used the same eerie Cornish village set designed by Hammer's celebrated production designer Bernard Robinson. Director John Gilling – the so-called “gentleman pig farmer” behind The Shadow of the Cat and The Mummy's Shroud – stages a story of graveyards, curses and the undead that became a template for Hammer zombie horror. Writer Peter Bryan, who joined Hammer Film Productions in 1948 as a camera operator before turning to screenwriting, provided the script and left the studio shortly after completing A Challenge for Robin Hood in 1967. When The Plague of the Zombies was submitted to the BBFC it was heavily trimmed: André Morell's Sir James Forbes originally decapitated a zombie with four shovel blows in the graveyard sequence, reduced to one for the censors. Heatherden Hall at Pinewood Studios doubles as the Forbes mansion, better known to James Bond fans as SPECTRE Island from From Russia With Love. Diane Clare, cast as Sylvia, had been one of the best-paid child “film babies” of the 1940s, appearing in The Ghosts of Berkeley Square and The Silver Fleet before leading roles in Hammer horror such as The Haunting, Witchcraft and The Hand of the Night. Her entire performance in The Plague of the Zombies was dubbed by South African actress Olive Gregg without her knowledge, a practice Hammer repeated when re-voicing Ingrid Pitt in Countess Dracula. André Morell himself had turned down both The Quatermass Experiment and Quatermass II on television before finally playing Professor Bernard Quatermass in the BBC's Quatermass and the Pit. When Hammer Film Productions made the feature version the role went to Andrew Keir. Morell also played O'Brien opposite Peter Cushing's Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four, Dr Watson in Hammer's Hound of the Baskervilles, voiced Elrond in Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings and appeared in Doctor Who. Quiz fans: Morell appeared in three films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar – can you name them? John Carson, born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), plays Clive Hamilton. He spent time in Australia and New Zealand before settling in Britain, later featuring in Doctor Who's Snakedance, Tales of the Unexpected and Hammer House of Horror. IMDb longlists even connect him to Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce (episode 39) though he got none of the roles. With this episode we complete a Hammer horror hat-trick of his films: Captain Kronos (episode 51), Taste the Blood of Dracula (episode 60) and now The Plague of the Zombies. He later emigrated to South Africa with his second wife, Luanshya Greer – formerly Pamela Greer, who became a TV writer for Dixon of Dock Green, Thriller and Triangle. Dr Peter Tompson is played by Brook Williams, a lifelong friend of Richard Burton who appeared with him in Where Eagles Dare, The Wild Geese and The Sea Wolves. Michael Ripper appears as Sergeant Swift; Hammer's most prolific supporting actor with 33 Hammer Film Productions credits, seven films alongside Peter Cushing and nine with #BigChrisLee. Ripper also starred in all four original St Trinian's films, . For a deeper dive into Jacqueline “Servalan” Pearce, check back to our episode on The Reptile (episode 19). This discussion of The Plague of the Zombies cements its place as one of Hammer horror's boldest British horror releases of the 1960sSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

We've all been having the best time revisiting different failures within the Dark Universe. This week it's Dracula Untold, a thinly veiled attempt to turn Dracula into a comic book action hero. Which is weird because Dracula already exists in both the Marvel and DC Universes. Anyhoo Luke Evans stars as Vlad The Impaler, a kind and gentle family man who just wants to forget the time he literally impalled 1000 people. BUT THEN an man from his past returns to get all the boys and Vlad's like "NO WAY" and he turns into a Dracula. Other things happen but that's the main thrust of it.

Richard Trenton Chase was a serial killer, cannibal, and necrophile operating in Sacramento, California during the late 1970s. Before committing six murders, he'd already earned the nickname Dracula. His sadistic acts didn't discriminate; he enjoyed ripping apart humans and animals alike. 00:00:00 - Intro00:01:00 - Background00:16:27 [spotify ad]00:16:28 - Ambrose Griffin Murder00:23:35 - Teresa Wallin Murder00:29:25 - Miroth Murders00:42:52 - Capture00:48:43 - Trial00:56:16 - Killer on the Stand01:01:38 - Poisoned 01:03:33 - Conclusion

Today on The Literary Life podcast Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks continue their two-part series on Christina Rossetti's narrative poem “Goblin Market.” They begin discussing this poem by connecting it with the larger conversation on art and the literary tradition, pointing out the flaws of modern ways of reading. Angelina emphasizes the importance of understanding this poem, as well as other classic works of fantasy, in terms of the fairy world and how symbolism and allegory work in fairy tales. After these preliminary thoughts, they go into more detail about this poem, including the obvious picture of the Fall, the vampire imagery, other Scriptural allusions, and the false versus the true Eucharist. Join us back here next week for our Dracula series reboot and more examples of how to read well!

When the Russian schooner Demeter drifted into Whitby harbor with its dead captain lashed to the wheel and its entire crew missing, the ship's log revealed a horrifying truth: something ancient and evil had been hunting them one by one across the dark waters. The final entries, written in the captain's trembling hand, chronicle the crew's descent from unease to terror as they realize their cargo of fifty earth-filled boxes conceals a predator that feeds in the night and cannot be killed.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveySOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “The Last Voyage of Demeter” by Bram Stoker: https://amzn.to/3KZnJ0zBOOK: “Dracula” (full novel) by Bram Stoker: https://amzn.to/44sXcj4=====(Over time links may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
