The CBK Book Club returns to discuss one of the best DC runs in recent history, DC: The New Frontier! Lance and Jeremy (The Geekly Grind) share their thoughts and takeaways from Darwyn Cooke and Dave Stewart's masterpiece. The New Frontier brilliantly serves as an allegory for social injustice and political change during the 1940s and 1950s in the United States, with an injection of the shifting comic landscape from the Golden to Silver Age.

El tráfico #BAM creció en #ESP un 17,89% YoY según los datos 2Q25 de CNMC. Se trata de una cifra apreciable que sugiere que el #5G está teniendo impacto, finalmente, en la vida de los españoles. Pero las cifras cuentan, como casi siempre, una historia más complicada. El porcentaje que supone el tráfico #5G frente al total se estancó y supone aproximadamente un 18%, la misma cifra que en 1Q25. Es la primera vez que esto sucede. Además, ese crecimiento se distribuye de manera muy desigual. Mientras que MasOrange continúa con la tendencia de los periodos anteriores y el porcentaje llega hasta 16% (13% para Vodafone España) para Telefónica hay una, también inédita bajada hasta el 33% y y Digi Spain Telecom se estanca en un 17%. Es como si en una red hubiéramos encontrado algún tope en la cantidad de tráfico #5G que se puede generar. Sin embargo, el despliegue de la #InfraestructuraDigital continúa a su propio ritmo y Telefónica alcanza los 8.007 nodos #N71 #OnAir. En el EP:220 de #Telco #SuperLigero nos preguntamos por qué sucede esto y cuáles son las causas y no encontramos, de momento, respuestas muy claras. Seguramente vosotros nos podréis ayudar. Todo esto ocurre en el fin de semana de #Difuntos en el que se suelen contar historias de terror o, en #ESP, se representa el #Tenorio. Algo de eso hay en que se haya confirmado el viernes que Orange vuelve a recuperar el control total sobre MasOrange (como el comendador y don Juan) y que a pesar del aumento de tráfico los ingresos promedio por cliente hayan continuado bajando (esto es horror cósmico, como hashtag#Lovecraft).El tráfico #BAM creció en #ESP un 17,89% YoY según los datos 2Q25 de CNMC.

In this episode of Chronicles, Luca is joined by Harry and Beau to discuss The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H.P. Lovecraft. They discuss the novella's themes of decay, fear and prejudice, as well as Lovecraft's talent as a pioneer of horror.

Thomas Hardy wrote horror? Damnable Tales: A Folk Horror Anthology By: Various, Edited by Richard Wells Published: 2021 479 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? A collection of 22 older scary stories, presented in chronological order. The oldest story is from 1875, while the newest was written in 1965. But the majority are clustered in the late-victorian period 1880-1910. It includes stories from a few authors you might not expect like Thomas Hardy and Robert Louis Stevenson. Who should read this book? Anyone who has enjoyed an HP Lovecraft story will probably enjoy this book. Though I will say that you should view most of the stories as inspiration for Lovecraft, rather than similarly situated. Specific thoughts: A nice way to create a Halloween atmosphere.
And so, my darlings… we arrive at the end.The final vault has opened, and The Call of Cthulhu resounds through the Archive — the story that began it all, now whispered in full. This Anniversary Edition Finale is more than a reading — it is a remembrance. Every listener who joined us during the 31 Nights of Lovecraft has been woven into this ritual, their names carried through the waves and bound into the myth itself. You are part of the story now
Lovecraft, Vivienne www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Studio 9
A remote New England village. Dark rumours swirl among its lonely hills. Whispers of strange rites, of a family line touched by shadows, haunt the woods and starlit nights. Something stirs where the old stones lie, and the boundary between the known and the unseen begins to thin. In my Halloween tradition, the tale chosen is “The Dunwich Horror”—a story rich in mystery, and alive with Lovecraft's trademark unease. First published in Weird Tales, April 1929. Collected in "The Outsider and Others" by Arkham House, 1939. H.P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer whose cosmic horror stories explored the limits of knowledge and the fragility of sanity. His influenced echoes through horror, science fiction, and popular culture to this day.

Here is an audio preview of one of the new shows coming out on our Strange Midnight AV YouTube channel.
It’s time for another Old Spooky Club, as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stuart Gordon’s horror-comedy classic, “Re-Animator”, which bears very little resemblance to the works of H.P. Lovecraft. We’ve got notes about severed heads, chomped-on fingers, lobotomized deans, weird character motivations, creepy stalkers, a literal blood bath, and everything Barbara Crampton. Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, Tiff Arment and Monty Ashley.
In this, the last spooky season episode for the year, we go into the mind of HP Lovecraft and the shared universe he created. A man touched by his family's brushes with both greatness and madness, he was never a huge success in his lifetime and held horrible, racist views that he supported with pseudoscience like eugenics. But as troubled and troubling as he was and is, the Mythos is one of the larger shared universes in fiction. A place where humanity is just a short sad blip on existence and the universe at large just does not care and will wipe us out with relative ease. This universe has provided ideas and fodder for so many writers who have added their own thoughts and ideas to the mix. We cover his Great Old Ones, his deities, his races he created, villains, the more or less human element in his stories and so much more. So come with us, take a stroll across the Plateau of Leng, visit the campus Library at Miskatonic University in Arkham Massachussets and visit Shadow-haunted Innsmouth in this oh so strange episode of the Family Plot Podcast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

ANGELA'S SYMPOSIUM 📖 Academic Study on Witchcraft, Paganism, esotericism, magick and the Occult
What happens when a work of fiction becomes a real grimoire? In this episode, we explore The Demons of the Necronomicon, H. P. Lovecraft's imagined pantheon of cosmic entities and their extraordinary transformation into living figures within modern occultism. Drawing on peer-reviewed research, we trace how Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, and Nyarlathotep escaped the pages of pulp horror to become objects of ritual, devotion, and philosophical speculation. From Kenneth Grant's Typhonian Thelema to chaos magic's postmodern experiments, this video unveils how fiction, faith, and imagination converge in the making of contemporary demonology.CONNECT & SUPPORT

This whispered gothic ballad of love and betrayal was inspired by a single passing line in The Rats in the Walls — the brief mention of Lady Mary de la Poer, whose death was sealed in silence, her story buried by time and blessed by trembling hands. Written by yours truly.From that single whisper of history, this three-part tragedy was born — a lament carried through generations, and a song the stones of Exham Priory might still remember.
Tonight we slow the ritual. On this thirtieth night of Lovecraft, I wanted to do something gentler — a lo-fi reading of one of Lovecraft's early tales, paired with a little ramble about life, movies, and the chaos of crafting (which… went exactly as well as you'd imagine).It's quiet. Imperfect. Personal.The kind of night where you can just listen, breathe, and be part of the warmth that's grown here this month.✨ GIVEAWAY: Leave a

In Infectus: Bedtime Stories of Horror, Todd C. Elliott traces one demonic contagion from the first sitar on the Ganges to Beatlemania's scream. Thirteen linked tales reveal how humanity's greatest inventions—music, empire, religion, pop culture—mutated the infection, not destroyed it. From colonial vampires to undead children, the parasite wears civilization's face. On Strange Planet, Elliott exposes the dark thread stitching history's nightmares: progress is just the curse evolving. Is mass media the final host? And if innocence is Patient Zero, what's the cure for a pandemic older than time? GUEST: Louisiana-born gothic maestro Todd C. Elliott crafts nightmares where history bleeds into myth. Author of Infectus: Bedtime Stories of Horror—a 5,000-year anthology of demonic contagion—he's compared to King, Lovecraft, and Rice, yet his humid, cinematic voice is singularly his. His nonfiction bombshells, A Rose By Many Other Names (JFK's overlooked witness) and Axes of Evil (the Ax-Man murders), unearth real conspiracies that mirror his fiction's unseen hand. Elliott doesn't scare with ghosts; he infects with the truth that civilization itself may be the monster.

For their 200th episode, JF and Phil turn their attention to H. P. Lovecraft's “The Call of Cthulhu,” a story foundational not only to modern horror fiction but to the very idea of the Weird. In revisiting this tale of forbidden knowledge and cosmic ambiguity, the hosts reflect on Weird Studies itself as a “slow piecing together of dissociated knowledge” that mirrors the work of Lovecraft's own bewildered protagonists.

It's Halloween Week! In celebration of the darkest season of the year, we are diving in H.P.Lovecraft's most iconic story, THE CALL OF CTHULU. Written in summer of 1926 it was first published in Weird Tales February 1928 issue and is an integral part of Lovecraft's Cthulu Mythos. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “The Call of Cthulu” – Metallica

Tonight we unseal the twenty-eighth vault in our 31 Nights of Lovecraft with one of his most chilling and enduring tales — The Rats in the Walls.In this story, a man returns to his ancestral home, Exham Priory — a place whispered about for centuries and long left to decay. But the walls remember, and the blood remembers, and soon the rats begin to stir in the dark…It's a descent through heritage and horror — a story of madness, memory, and the hunger that hides beneath civilization's skin. Written in 1923, this tale remains one of Lovecraft's most haunting reflections on ancestry, guilt, and the inescapable weight of blood.
Neural Networks and AI have a keen ability to generate the monster of HP Lovecraft, probably because these cosmic horrors are described by inconceivable colors, surreal visages, and non-Euclidean shapes. These are also often our descriptions of the underworld, netherworld, upsidedown, and spirit realm. We reach it in dreams, NDEs, via certain substances, or through other unintentional but natural methods. It appears that technology can allow us to tap into this world, too, implying that it is both a real place and an extension of the mind, perhaps another reality that consciousness can explore - or the backend of a computer program. The geometry and therianthropes of the shaman can be seen abstractly in AI-Lovecraft, which appears etheric, ghost-like, and not well-defined, precisely the descriptions our ancestors gave of the changing seasons - especially Halloween. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Tonight, the Vault opens not to story, but to stillness.As my voice fades in this final stretch of our journey, I wanted to share something softer — a moment of quiet connection between dreamer and dream.The Archivist's Whisper is a Lovecraft-inspired affirmation ritual — a gentle descent into calm, wonder, and cosmic belonging. It's a reminder that even in the vastness of the unknown, there is beauty, warmth, and a place for you.We're nearing the end of our 31 Nights of Lovecraft — only a few vaults remain before our Call of Cthulhu: Anniversary Edition finale. Thank you for traveling so far with me, through every whisper, every storm, every haunted page. Your presence keeps the lantern lit, even on quiet nights like this one.
Tonight we're summoning The Empty Man — a film that bombed on release but found a cult following among horror fans who crave something stranger, slower, and smarter.We talk about why The Empty Man was marketed like a teen creepypasta movie but is actually a cosmic horror detective story about grief, faith, and identity. With echoes of Fincher, Carpenter, and Lovecraft, this might just be one of the most underrated horror films of the 2020s.#TheEmptyMan #HorrorPodcast #CleanSlatePodcast #CosmicHorror #UnderratedHorror #31NightsOfHalloween #MoviePodcast
Happy Halloween -- but also, give this a listen any time of year if you're a fan of cosmic, existential horror and esoteric spirituality! To help celebrate this year on The Fringe FM, Joe Rupe of Lighting the Void invited me to read a short story of my choosing, and the first one that popped into my mind was this lesser known Lovecraft story that has always been my favorite. Not only do the events of the story occur on the day before and of my real-life birthday, but they also speak to every part of my artistic sensibilities: horror, unease, mystery, spirituality and philosophy, mad science, and unexplainable phenomena! In many ways this story has heavily influenced the notions that boiled over and became Black Hoodie Alchemy. This story is as beautiful as it is eerie and haunting, with even a Hills-Have-Eyes sort of flare to it that could potentially upset the staunchest of social justice warriors, but thankfully stops at the threshold of full-on xenophobia (something that cannot be said of some of Lovecraft's other stories.)In any case, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this story is also in the public domain at this point, so here it is for all your listening enjoyment! Happy Halloween and salutations to you year-round horror fiends listening to this out of season! I hope you dig it.Related Content:Beyond the Wall of Sleep DIVE MANUAL AUDIOBOOK (narrated by Joe Rupe)HUNT MANUALBHA LINKTREE w books, shorts, and much moreJoe Rupe's Lighting the VoidFringe FMThis week's featured music coming from titanic wordsmiths always holding it down for the underground!

This week on The Video Store Podcast I'm talking about a handful of horror movies from the late 1980s that sit in a strange corner of the genre. They're not the big ones you always hear about, just the kind of titles you'd find tucked on a back shelf of the local video store with a wild cover and not much else to go on.The first is The Kindred from 1987, directed by Jeffrey Obrow and Stephen Carpenter, the same team behind The Dorm That Dripped Blood. Joseph Stefano, who wrote the screenplay for Psycho, helped with the story. What really stands out are the effects, all done with elaborate practical work that's wet, rubbery, and wonderfully overdone in that 80s way.Then there's Scared Stiff, also from 1987. Richard Friedman directed it before going on to make Phantom of the Mall. It was shot in Florida, mostly inside a mansion that becomes the centerpiece for all the strange things that happen. It starts off like a haunted house movie, but by the end it drifts into something dreamlike and weird.The third pick is The Outing, sometimes called The Lamp. That double title confused people, but they're the same film. Tom Daley directed it in Houston, and it's remembered for its museum setting and a wish-granting genie that causes most of the trouble.Finally there's The Unnamable from 1988, based on an H. P. Lovecraft story. Jean Paul Ouellette directed it in Massachusetts, and it's one of those films that helped keep Lovecraft's name circulating in low-budget horror through the decade. It even got a sequel a few years later.All four have their rough spots, but that's part of what makes them interesting. They're full of ambition, full of practical effects, and they capture that scrappy energy of 80s horror. The kind of movies you'd rent just because the box looked too cool or too strange to ignore.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

We've been on a bit of an expedition of sorts, and we come back bearing news. Terrible news! Namely about the author of our book this month, H.P. Lovecraft. What? You already knew he wasn't great? Oh, dear listener, keep you radios dialed in, we have much to tell. We also share our findings on Earth's ancient history, videogames, and even why you get sick when you go up a mountain quickly! Make sure you're well outfitted for this one, we had a lot to say, maybe because we've been away for so long. Tekeli-li!
Tonight's guest comes to us from Florida, former Border Patrol agent Chris, who spent years patrolling one of the most remote and haunted stretches of land in America. A place where UFOs streak across silent skies, thermal cameras chase phantom figures, and the ghosts of the past refuse to rest. When night falls on the Texas borderlands, the desert comes alive with more than smugglers and shadows. Chris recounts his years on the line between the living and the dead, from discovering long-lost bodies under the desert moon to hearing stories of faceless women and spectral children in the Otay Mountains. His interest in the paranormal led him from patrols to Lovecraft's mythos.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-357-ghosts-of-the-borderlands/Hidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.

Tonight, the Vault opens to something a little different — a moment of peace along our journey.
Tonight we turn the lantern inward with two of Lovecraft's earliest poems — Despair and Nemesis.Each reveals the young author's fascination with lost civilizations, cosmic loneliness, and the haunting beauty of ruin. There are no monsters here — only memory, decay, and the slow turning of the stars.
Tonight we unseal the twenty-sixth vault in our 31 Nights of Lovecraft with The Descendant — a story of ancestral memory, forbidden knowledge, and the price of remembering what the soul was meant to forget.

In this episode of the show we are parting ways with Stuart Gordon-Tober as we are discussing his 1991 The Pit and the Pendulum. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Gordon moving from adapting Lovecraft to another challenging godfather of horror, Edgar Allan Poe, how challenging it must have been to essentially have to invent a story to wrap around a sparse narrative and whether this exercise bore any fruit. We also talk about the place of violence in this movie, its intersection with humour, swashbuckling while wielding soup ladles and - of course - Lance Henriksen's hair.

649. This week we chat with Leah Payne about her book, God Gave Rock and Roll To You: A History of Contemporary Christian Music. We focus especially on the role of the family of Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Mickey Gilley in the history of Rock and Roll. Her book chronicles the confluence of evangelical, Pentecostal, and charismatic networks through the lens of Contemporary Christian Music, or CCM. The book indexes American evangelicalism's political and social aspirations as seen through its cultural intermediaries: the youth group leaders, non-profit groups, industry executives, and parents who contributed to what was morally permissible and economically profitable in CCM.

"In a natural glade of the swamp stood a grassy island of perhaps an acre's extent, clear of trees and tolerably dry. On this now leaped and twisted a more indescribable horde of human abnormality than any but a Sime or an Angarola could paint. Void of clothing, this hybrid spawn were braying, bellowing, and writhing about a monstrous ring-shaped bonfire; in the centre of which, revealed by occasional rifts in the curtain of flame, stood a great granite monolith some eight feet in height; on top of which, incongruous in its diminutiveness, rested the noxious carven statuette."

Here in New Orleans, like everything else, it's different. Halloween, Crescent City-style, is second only to Mardi Gras for wild and crazy, dressing-up-in-costume kind of fun and it isn't just for kids, either. Adults get to join the fun and craziness as well. In fact, there are a few events that are much more fun for the grown-ups than for the little ones! You can go on our haunted tours, visit our voodoo shops, our costume shops, our street parties, and we even have events for the kids! Postcards from Louisiana. Delfeyo Marsalis at Snug Harbor.

Jay Drakulic, Mallory Drumm, and Alex Lee Williams are the filmmakers behind Dream Eater, a Lovecraft-inspired found-footage horror film shot on a shoestring budget in a remote Quebec cottage.When their original project lost funding, they rebuilt it from scratch, turning their setbacks into a creative advantage and crafting an intimate, atmospheric story about dreams, dread, and an unraveling relationship.The movie may be called Dream Eater, but the filmmakers' story is a dream come true; powered by positive word of mouth and support from the online horror community, Dream Eater found a passionate audience and ultimately caught the attention of Eli Roth, who acquired the film and released it under his new horror production banner, The Horror Section.I really loved this interview, I connected with the filmmakers personally and found them to be very cool and inspiring because this story is very much in line with those of The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity in terms of the ingenuity and tenacity among filmmakers who adapt and adapt and don't take no for an answer and get their movies made regardless of anything and ultimately is what this podcast is about.Key TakeawaysTransmutation: Turn limitations into opportunity and never submit to defeat.The creators of Dream Eater originally had a larger-scale, higher-budget project in motion — until the funding fell through. Rather than throw their hands up and walk away, they went back to the drawing board and scaled their concept into something they could afford to shoot. Casting actors was out of reach due to the demanding conditions, so they cast themselves.There's a massive lesson here in adaptability: as a filmmaker, you have to play the hand you're dealt and make the movie you can make when you can make it. Hopefully, the next one has a bigger budget — but regardless of what you're working with, the movie you can make now will be way better than no movie at all.Micro crews need macro output.An eight-person team meant every crew member wore multiple hats. When hiring for crew, it's common for crew members to expect to stay in their lanes — and that's completely understandable particularly in the context of union filmmaking. But on a micro-budget production, the mindset of “that's not really my job” can be radioactive. Your crew needs to be down for the chaos you're about to unleash.But of course, be fair and be reasonable; pay what you can — either in cash or points — but take the time to find a crew that's truly in it with you and willing to wear multiple hats. But here's the caveat, as the filmmaker, you must always be the hardest-working person on set.Find your audience where they already are.The Dream Eater team built buzz through festivals and the online horror community, most notably TikTok's HorrorTok — a vibrant ecosystem of horror influencers and fans. Thanks to a few key TikTok creators, buzz about the film went viral, which got the attention of Eli Roth.When promoting a film, it's essential to know, understand, and ideally befriend the horror community. HorrorTok played a major role in the success of Dream Eater, and it's a reminder that one of the most effective ways to support your art is by authentically engaging with the people who love the genre as much as you do. Understanding marketing is crucial — but connection is everything.Show NotesMovies and Works MentionedDream EaterAsleep (original concept)The Nightmare (Rodney Ascher documentary)DagonIn the Mouth of MadnessThe Blair Witch ProjectEvil...
Tonight we unseal the twenty-second vault in our 31 Nights of Lovecraft with Till A' the Seas — a rare, sorrowful vision of the far future, where the oceans have dried, the stars have dimmed, and humanity itself flickers like the last candle in the dark.
In this podcast we are tying into the Lovecraftian vibe of our Stuart Gordon October by talking about the Richard Stanley-directed Color Out of Space. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about this movie as a cult classic and an exemplar of cosmic horror, how it treats Lovecraft's prose and adapts it for the modern viewer and how it attempts to mesh sensibilities of The Thing with an atmosphere of an ayahuasca ceremony. We also talk about raising alpacas and doing witchcraft in the woods as rich white people hobbies, Lovecraft's problematic views seeping through the narrative, how the filmmakers' choice to use magenta as the titular color out of space is a decision rooted in physics, how the word fuchsia doesn't make sense and much more!Tune in and enjoy!Subscribe to our patreon at patreon.com/uncutgemspod (3$/month) and support us by gaining access to this show in full in addition to ALL of our exclusive podcasts, such as bonus tie-ins, themed retrospectives and director marathons!Hosts: Jakub Flasz & Randy BurrowsFeaturing: Hillary WhiteHead over to our website to find out more!

Horror Hill: A Horror Anthology and Scary Stories Series Podcast
A farmer's field. A fallen star. And a colour no human eye was meant to see. In this haunting descent into cosmic horror, host Erik Peabody invites you to return to the hills of Arkham, where something unnatural seeps into the soil — unseen, unknowable, and utterly unstoppable. What begins as a curiosity from the heavens soon festers into terror beyond reason, twisting nature, faith, and sanity itself. From the mind of H.P. Lovecraft, tonight's tale is a masterwork of creeping dread and existential despair — a reminder that the universe does not love us, but may just be indifferent.

Beneath the desolate desert lies a chasm that breathes ancient dread. When two men hear the earth itself stir, their world teeters on the brink of a horror beyond human comprehension. The Transition of Juan Romero by H. P. Lovecraft. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.It's funny how The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast has evolved. Early on, we planned to skip H. P. Lovecraft—so many other narrators had already done many of his stories. But you kept asking for Lovecraft, and we listen. We dipped a toe in… and those episodes quickly became some of our most-listened to. Lesson learned: our podcast is better when we listen to you.Got thoughts, requests, or gentle gripes? I'm all ears. Drop me a note at scott@lostscifi.com. And if you're enjoying the ride, your ratings and reviews help more classic sci-fi fans find us. Thanks for being here and shaping what we make next.The story behind The Transition of Juan Romero is nearly as strange as the tale itself. Lovecraft wrote it in a single burst of inspiration—reportedly finishing it in less than a day on September 16, 1919—but, for reasons known only to him, he never chose to publish it during his lifetime. It wouldn't see print until 1944, seven years after his death. Curiously, it's often left off lists of his works, almost as if it slipped through the cracks of time—an obscure shadow lurking between his better-known masterpieces. Maybe that's part of what makes it so fascinating: even forgotten, it still carries that unmistakable Lovecraftian chill.From the Arkham House publication Marginalia on page 276, The Transition of Juan Romero by H. P. Lovecraft…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Horse-Sense Hank could answer all the problems of science. He could even apply logic to love. But turnips…! The Scientific Pioneer by Nelson S.
