On this retrospective review, I discuss the somewhat forgotten games Koudleka and Shadow Hearts, a series of horror role-playing games in the Japanese fashion. Deeply themed with loss, tragedy, hope, Japanese and European themes, Lovecraftian monsters and the time honored trope of kicking a god in the face, this is a series that deserved more love than it got. Stop by for a listen and relive a set of cult classics - or maybe get introduced to the for the first time!

Beach House Breakdown, Vagina Dentata, & Cronenberg's Sex Parasites – Horror Hangout from HellWhat do a Cthulhu beach vacation, vagina dentata, and horny parasitic zombies have in common? We have no idea. But it's Josh's birthday, so come with us as we shuffle through all this goo and try to find out. The dudes dive headfirst into The Beach House (dir. Jeffrey A. Brown), a Lovecraft-lite flick that tries to spook you with fog, foot worms, and... astrobiology? James has ocean-walking dreams, Justin forgets the movie he's supposed to talk about, Derick gets mad that nobody in horror knows how to wear pants during a crisis, and Josh may in fact be Tubi's shadow CEO. We also take a deep bite into Teeth (dir. Mitchell Lichtenstein), where John Hensley from Nip/Tuck plays the most cartoonishly incestuous dirtbag this side of Cinemax. There are dog attacks, dick rings, and a whole lot of trauma wrapped up in a “quirky” indie revenge horror. A24 remake incoming? Probably. Then it's over to David Cronenberg's Shivers aka They Came from Within aka Orgy of the Blood Parasites, where 70s Canadian sex monsters spread the infection one creepy assault at a time. Oh, and apparently Cronenberg thought those guys were the heroes of the story. Yeah. Sketch. Along the way, the crew debates whether stoned vision grants access to cosmic jellyfish goo, how many dicks need to be bitten off before justice is served, and how Lovecraftian horror and edible gummies mix like oil and haunted ocean water.Movies discussed:The Beach House (2020) – Directed by Jeffrey A.

I needed something chill and relaxing after the nightmare that was Kingdom Come Deliverance--expect those episodes after this one. I thought about many games, but ultimately landed on DREDGE, a relatively simple game about boating and fishing, wrapped in a mysterious Lovecraftian bow. It was exactly what the doctor ordered. If the idea of boating around and fishing doesn't sound like a bore to you, I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time too. Just remember sleep in important, very very important.

Today, we're descending into the depths of Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, the 2002 GameCube classic that dared to blur the line between player and character. We begin by exploring how Canadian developer Silicon Knights transitioned from strategy games to psychological horror under the guidance of Denis Dyack, with Eternal Darkness evolving from a Nintendo 64 project into one of the GameCube's most ambitious launch titles. Along the way, we examine the game's Lovecraftian influences, complex narrative spanning centuries, and groundbreaking sanity system that played tricks on players' minds in unforgettable ways. Though it struggled commercially, its critical acclaim and cult following secured its legacy as a pioneer in interactive horror. So steel your nerves and question your reality—it's time for a sanity-shattering trip down Memory Card Lane! Find out more at https://a-trip-down-memory-card-lane.pinecast.co

We are not slowing down as my Pride Month Feature rolls along with returning show guest Eisner, GLAAD, and Ringo nominated comics writer Steve Orlando hanging out with me to talk about two of his projects dropping with the big two. Last time he was on we were talking about the ongoing Scarlet Witch series which is being continued in a new five issue mini-series The Vision and The Scarlet Witch, recognizing their 50th wedding anniversary which will see the return of White Vision. It's hard to believe their wedding was 50 years ago in Giant Sized Avengers #4. Steve is promising a Lovecraftian slat to the series which I'm personally rather excited about. Recently it was announced that he will also be working on the Magical Mysteries of Shazam on DC Go!, Venom: Original Sin jumps from Marvel Unlimited Online to print, the exciting conclusion of Ripperland who he's co-writing with John Harris Dunning just wrapped up and will be dropping as a trade soon with Dark Horse Comics, and the trade of Avengers Assemble: The Serpent Scenario just hit too. So, Steve is quite the busy guy at the moment. If you want to catch up with him, you can find him on BlueSky or on Instagram. Shark rescue Byron talked about on the show The Vision and The Scarlet Witch From the publisher The next chapter in one of comics' greatest love stories arrives this May! Celebrating the 50th anniversary of their iconic wedding in GIANT-SIZE AVENGERS (1974) #4, Scarlet Witch and Vision are back together in THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH, a five-issue limited series by current SCARLET WITCH scribe Steve Orlandoand returning series artists Lorenzo Tammetta and Jacopo Camagni. THE VISION & THE SCARLET WITCH serves as the latest evolution of Orlando's ongoing SCARLET WITCH run, which has successfully redefined the adventures of Wanda Maximoff. Carving out her own path in the Marvel Universe as a solo hero, Scarlet Witch's magic has never been more powerful. But when it comes to helping Vision, she'll need more than strength alone! Befitting their decades-spanning romance, Scarlet Witch and Vision team up for a dramatic saga that will test their souls and break their hearts! The Magical Mysteries of Shazam! From the publisher In The Magical Mysteries of Shazam!  by writer Steve Orlando (Supergirl, Martian Manhunter) and artist Giopota, Billy Batson has had to grow up fast. Life with Tawny, a talking tiger and also Billy's adoptive uncle, is humble. It's not always easy! Billy lives with Tawny's other foster children, Darla, Pedro, and Freddy. Despite all he's been through, Billy is willfully hopeful. In addition to all the struggles a blended foster family faces, Fawcett City isn't exactly the safest place to live. It might be a fantastic, whimsical city full of both humans and talking animals, but it's also got a monster problem—in fact, a Monster Society! Soon Billy is granted the ability to say a magic word and transform into a mighty hero! Fawcett City cheers its new champion—and little do they know, he's one of their own. Or do they? Because Billy's siblings are pretty sure they saw him turn into a full-grown superhero. PATREON We have a new Patreon, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CryptidCreatorCornerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

BEST OF: A recent article form the New York Time compared AI to the shoggoth of H.P. Lovecraft - monstrous beings of black protoplasm, bred as slaves that eventually develop brains of their own. An article from 2017 in MIT Technology Review compared AI to the black cube of Saturn. AI is also really good at doing one specific thing and that is creating Lovecraftian monsters. In the Watchmen comicbook series, Adrian Veidt, also known as Ozymandias, attempts to unite the US and USSR against a common enemy to avoid nuclear war. As opposed to the movie version wherein Doctor Manhattan is scapegoated, in the comic Adriam Veldt used advanced genetic engineering technology to create a giant monster from outer space. The monster is a squid, and as the plan proceeds he teleports the monster through a gateway into New York City. A 2022 promotion for the show Stranger Things lit up the Empire State building, along with others around the world, with a portal to the Upside Down. The recent wildfires from Canada that dumped smoke and particulate on New York City create a background similar to the tv show promotion. In fact, the ad this time was for the game Diablo IV. It feature the Queen of Succubi, Lilith, with a caption and date that read “Welcome to Hell, New York” - 6/6/23. New York is also home to a Ruth Bader Ginsburg statue featuring Lilith's horns and tentacle arms. Lilith is the mother of all demons, the tempter of men, and aborter of children. It is therefore appropriate that NYC's One World Trade building was lit up pink to celebrate abortion rights in 2019. Lilith also wears a rainbow necklace, an outward projection of her disdain for God's promise to never flood the earth and kill innocence. In reliefs, Lilith is shown with the legs of a serpent, with two guardian owls that guard her dominion. She haunts in dreams and from the Upside Down. It is from this realm that Gordie Rose, founder of D-Wave, said that quantum computing will summon what he compared to the visions of H.P. Lovecraft: “And these things we're summoning into the world now, are not demons, they're not evil, they're more like the Lovecraftian great ‘old ones'. These entities are not necessarily going to be aligned with what we want.” The 1920 a movie ALGOL, about an alien giving advanced technology to humans, essentially became the base for modern algorithms starting with ALGOL 60 and 58. Technology that led to the atomic bomb also acts as a sort of trigger to open the gateway and summon the Old Ones. Algol is known as the blinking demon star and AI is essential this - A Eye.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode of World Book Club, Harriet talks with one of the world's best-loved sci-fi and fantasy authors, the four time Hugo award winner N.K Jemisin. Which of her plethora of books did we choose? Her 10th novel, and love letter to New York, ‘The City We Became'.The story takes place in a world in which major cities become sentient, living beings. After New York is attacked by an otherworldly enemy, five people, champions representing each of the city's five boroughs, must band together to save the city, but also humanity itself.Rich with sharp social commentary, vibrant characters, and breathtaking world-building, it's a gripping, imaginative tale of identity, belonging, and the power of unity in the face of otherworldly, eldritch chaos.N.K Jemisin will be answering questions from our World Book Club - including how she created characters that embody each of New York's five boroughs, what makes a city ‘alive', and how she confronted, and subverted, Lovecraftian tropes to create the enemy of all humanity, the Woman in White.Presented by Harriett Gilbert.

What follows is a chilling descent into madness, mutation, and survival as nature itself turns against them.

In 1996, the world of video gaming was forever changed by the release of Capcom's “survival horror” masterwork “Resident Evil” on the Sony PlayStation. In fact, the term “survival horror”, now a common-place name for a subgenre of horror gaming, was originated by “Resident Evil”.Survival horror itself can be defined as a genre of video games with a focus on surviving in a threatening, often supernatural or disturbing environment, with an emphasis on a more vulnerable central character, tension, limited resources and combat as a last resort.Sound like a vast number of great horror games that have come since the original “Resident Evil”?Whether it's the steeped in atmospheric dread of the “Silent Hill” franchise, the cosmic Lovecraftian terror of the “Dead Space” games, the nerve-frying corridors of the “Amnesia” series or the Stephen King-esque small town horror of “Alan Wake” and its sequel, the influence of “Resident Evil” has played a pivotal role in forming horror gaming. In this episode I am joined by the stars of the most recent “Resident Evil” games. They have taken the three most iconic characters of the franchise and not only made them their own, but also brought real gravity and psychological complexity that has helped redefine the series and what we thought we could expect from it.Welcome Nicole Tompkins who plays Jill Valentine in the “Resident Evil 3” reimaging and the animated film “Resident Evil: Death Island” as well as Daniela Dimitrescu and Elena in “Resident Evil Village”, Jeff Schine who plays Carlos in the “Resident Evil 3” reimagining and Chris Redfield in “Resident Evil Village” and Nick Apostolides who plays Leon Kennedy in the reimagining's of “Resident Evil 2” and “Resident Evil 4” as well as the TV mini-series “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness”.We discuss their approaches to adapting these legacy characters, the indelible imprint of the franchise, how it's not as different from film acting as some may think, as well as their most requested line readings. Let's explore the dangers of Raccoon City and beyond, survive a world of endless zombies and undead Doberman's, expose shadowy secret evil organizations and visit a village of crazed occultist with Nicole Tompkins, Jeff Schine and Nick Apostolides! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Soft spoken reading of Algernon Blackwood's Wood of the Dead.In The Wood of the Dead, Algernon Blackwood weaves an eerie tale of isolation, spectral whispers, and the ominous presence of the past. The story follows a traveler who arrives in a remote village, where the air is thick with an uncanny stillness. As he wanders into the ancient forest bordering the settlement, he encounters an unsettling old man—one who speaks in cryptic riddles about the dead lingering among the trees.The deeper the traveler ventures, the more he feels the suffocating weight of unseen eyes and the rustling of something beyond the physical world. The villagers live in quiet fear, their words laced with hints of long-forgotten sins and restless spirits that refuse to be buried. The wood itself seems alive, pulsating with an unnatural presence that hungers for recognition.As the tale unfolds, Blackwood masterfully builds an atmosphere of creeping dread, blending folklore, the supernatural, and psychological horror into a chilling meditation on mortality and the unseen forces that stalk the living. The traveler—skeptical at first—soon finds that some boundaries between life and death are not easily crossed... nor easily escaped.ASMR tales from Lovecraft, Poe, Grimm & Beyond | Unlock Exclusive Secrets from the Vault on PatreonVenture softly into realms untold, where ancient whispers stir forgotten lore and dust-laden libraries echo with lost dreams.

Once the most derided type of film adaptation, video game movies have been seeing a renaissance as of late. So what better time to borrow the conventions of a once-derided medium to tell a story all your own? In this Mini-BOP, Mike and Jamie gush about the new film by genre filmmaker Jason Trost, The Waves of Madness, the world's first side-scrolling motion picture. With a premise that could have outstayed its welcome in minutes, Waves draws you in with its loving pastiche of PS1-era survival horror, and keeps you with a sincere Lovecraftian mystery at sea, with the best monster design we've seen all year.

In this episode, me and my homegirl, Jackson Cooper, dive into the cult classic Equinox (1970), a low-budget horror gem that helped lay the groundwork for independent genre filmmaking.With its surreal story of college students stumbling upon an ancient book that opens a portal to another dimension, Equinox blends stop-motion monsters, amateur charm, and Lovecraftian terror. We explore the film's unique production history, its influence on later horror hits like The Evil Dead, and how it earned a place in genre history thanks to the passion of its creators—especially future Star Wars effects artist Dennis Muren.Whether you're a seasoned horror buff or just discovering this underground favorite, this episode sheds light on why Equinoxremains a fascinating piece of horror history.Intro/Outro Music: "Phantom Fun" by Jonathan BoyleShow E-Mail: cultcinemacircle@gmail.comFollow Jackson on InstagramFollow Cult Cinema Circle on Instagram, Bluesky, and LetterboxdFollow American Genre Film Archive on InstagramVisit the American Genre Film Archive Website Hosted on Acast.

Listen with headphones for the best experience.Celephaïs is a mesmerizing tale from Lovecraft's Dream Cycle, following the journey of Kuranes, a man disillusioned with reality who seeks refuge in his dreams. Once a child who imagined the radiant city of Celephaïs, he grows into a weary adult, desperate to return to the dream-world. As his earthly life crumbles, he plunges deeper into sleep, chasing visions of turquoise temples, timeless streets, and galleys that sail into the sky.But dreams are fickle, and the boundary between fantasy and madness blurs. When knights from Celephaïs finally arrive to escort him home, he embarks on a surreal voyage through time, back to his ancestral estate—only to awaken as king and god of the dream-city. Yet in the waking world, his body washes up on the shores of Cornwall, lost to the tides of reality.ASMR tales from Lovecraft, Poe, Grimm & Beyond | Unlock Exclusive Secrets from the Vault as a Channel Member or on PatreonVenture softly into realms untold, where ancient whispers stir forgotten lore and dust-laden libraries echo with lost dreams.

Soft spoken reading of HP Lovecraft's Azathoth, 1922. With ominous cave ambience, listen with headphones for the best experience.At the heart of the abyss, where time dissolves and space is meaningless, the dreamer finds Azathoth—the mindless, seething center of the universe. A force of chaos, madness, and unreasoning destruction, Azathoth is the blind idiot god whose presence nullifies all thought and order. The story ends with the terrifying realization that beyond human imagination lies nothing but writhing, chaotic horror—and the dreamer is lost within its merciless embrace.Short but evocative, Azathoth is less a narrative and more a fragment of cosmic dread—one that hints at the unfathomable horrors that lurk beyond the fragile veil of sanity.ASMR tales from Lovecraft, Poe, Grimm & Beyond | Unlock Exclusive Secrets from the Vault as a Channel Member or on PatreonVenture softly into realms untold, where ancient whispers stir forgotten lore and dust-laden libraries echo with lost dreams.

The Shrieking Horror ep.770 Andrea M. Pawley lives and writes in Washington, D.C.. She plans to start her own city quadrant as soon as the space-time continuum rips, and a new direction becomes available. Andrea attended Clarion West in 2017 and currently volunteers as the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association Mentorship Program Coordinator. Her stories have appeared in Clarkesworld, Asimov's Science Fiction, and Cosmic Horror Monthly. Andrea's slightly odd takes on writing, art, and Washington D.C. can be found at www.andreapawley.com.   This story was originally published in The Nameless Songs of Zadok Allen and Other Things That Should Not Be, a March 2023 anthology edited by JayHenge Publishing.   ---- Listen Elsewhere ---- YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/c/TallTaleTV Website: http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- Story Submission ---- Got a short story you'd like to submit? Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

This week, the boys kick things off with some serious déjà vu as Fyre Fest's favorite grifter promises he's totally throwing another festival — because nothing says “I've changed” like doubling down on the same scam. Meanwhile, the IRS decided to become ICE's BFF by casually sharing migrant tax data, and their commissioner moonwalks out right after. Also: Microsoft's long game of “let OpenAI set the money on fire while we build empires” is going exactly as planned.In the news, it's Elon all day: Starlink might be doing the same government freebie hustle Microsoft perfected, DOGE is monitoring your comms for anti-Musk snark, and apparently has enough data on your family to build Black Mirror Season 8. Tesla's financials are circling the drain so hard they won't even take their own Cybertrucks back as trade-ins, but don't worry — Elon's ready to bail out Twitter/xAI with monopoly money. Over in the UK, the cops are one coffee away from full Minority Report, and MIT confirms what we already knew: AI doesn't have morals, just vibes. Speaking of AI, someone sent an avatar to court. Yes, really.In Media Candy, it's a smorgasbord: The White Lotus is back, Murderbot looks like a win, and the Tron: Ares trailer wants you to care again. There's also a full Ask A Ninja drop for your 2006 nostalgia, and “Donald Trump Rides a Cock Horse” makes us long for the innocent absurdity of Morrissey Rides a Cockhorse. Over in Apps & Doodads, we've got AI dumbbells (because of course), Instagram still pretending the iPad doesn't exist, and the Scotty Peeler — the tool you didn't know you needed. Finally, Dave's back in The Darkside, riffing on malware, The Owl House, and how ChatGPT sometimes gives your image prompts a side of Lovecraftian horror.

Techdirt has finally accepted the inevitable and gone full democracy blog—because let's face it, politics and tech are now the same dumpster fire. Google rolled out AI Mode for Search, proving once again that the internet is just Clippy with better branding. Meanwhile, Billy McFarland insists Fyre Festival 2 is totally happening, despite Mexican officials pointing out that his coordinates literally lead to the ocean. Speaking of fraud, Tesla sales are in freefall thanks to Elon's alt-right cosplay, and people are setting Teslas on fire in protest. And in rich-guy disconnect news, Google's Sergey Brin thinks engineers should work 60-hour weeks to build the AI that will replace them. That's some late-stage capitalism poetry right there.Elsewhere, Trump Media paid Don Jr. nearly a quarter of its revenue to show up twice, while indie musicians can't afford to tour, proving once again that grifting is more profitable than making art. Technicolor shut down overnight, stranding 10,000 workers because Hollywood's financial planning is apparently as stable as a Starship rocket launch. Oh yeah, SpaceX exploded another one.Meanwhile, Netflix's attempt to upscale A Different World turned it into a Lovecraftian horror show. A quarter of Y Combinator startups now run on “vibe coding,” meaning their software is basically a Ouija board with extra steps. The AI takeover continues as OpenAI plans to charge $20,000 monthly for specialized AI "agents," proving once again that the revolution will be monetized. Meanwhile, Moscow's Pravda network has been poisoning Western AI chatbots with Russian propaganda, because if you can't convince humans, just brainwash the robots that humans increasingly trust.On the bright side, hackers brought the Humane AI Pin back to life after it was bricked, transforming an overpriced paperweight into... a slightly less useless overpriced paperweight. ChatGPT can now directly edit code in macOS development tools, making it easier for AI to introduce bugs you never would have thought of yourself.
