HI friends! This week, my guest is the legendary fringe culture author, Robert Guffey! Robert has been writing about conspiracy culture for years now, and has contributed a lot wildly fascinating stories, books, magazine articles to this field of interest. On this episode, we spend most of the time discussing his new book Hollywood Haunts the World, which focuses on encoded cinema and cultural taboos. I don't want to spoil too much here, but we get into intel agencies involvement in screenwriting, things you can say in fiction, but not in real life, and a whole lot more. Being a deep fan of cinema history, I have to say that this one hit the spot perfectly for me. Enjoy!Love, Steve For more Robert Guffey:https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00DWBKY64?ccs_id=523be68a-98a4-4519-9dde-dc32b2cd1f8ehttps://www.instagram.com/cryptoscatology/?hl=enSteve Berg LInks:https://www.patreon.com/HiStrangenesslinktr.ee/stevebergPretty please subscribe and leave a review!

Mein live Gast ist Robert Guffey, seines Zeichens Literaturdozent und Meister der absurden Zwischenwelten und (sur)realer Verschwörungen aus Long Beach, California. Wir sprechen u.a. über bizarre und verstörende Kurzgeschichten aus seinem aktuellen Buch Cryptopolis and Other Stories, sowie einen im New Dawn Magazine erschienenen Artikel, in dem Robert verblüffende Parallelen zwischen Erlebnisberichten von s.g. "Alien Abductions" mit Ritualen aus der Freimaurerei aufzeigt. Last but not least, möchte ich mit dem 32nd degree Mason auch noch über kabbalistische Symbolik in den legendären Comic Figuren von Jack Kirby sprechen. Ein wilder Ritt zwischen säkularen "Gottheiten", Conspiracies und Pop-Kultur erwartet uns...

And if you love wild, mind-bending true stories, we'd strongly suggest you go back and listen to Episode 19 (a fan favorite), but it is certainly not a prerequisite for listening to today's discussion.Today's topic is all about Qanon, and correpsonds with the release of Robert's newest non-fiction book "Operation Mindfuck" available now at OR books. Robert gives a basic overview of what Qanon is, and gives insight into how he thinks so many people with good intent can get led into so many crazy conclusions. Once you listen to the interview, we'd highly recommend you go pick up a copy of "Operation Mindfuck" to read Robert's more deeper analysis.You can also find Robert's non-fictional analysis of conspiracy-theories "Cryptoscatology" on Amazon, as well as find his articles debunking conspiracies like Qanon on Salon.

Marc admits to a certain amount of conspiracy-driven paranoia when he was younger, which gives him a unique vantage point to observe the conspiracy theories shaking our culture. Conspiracy scholar Robert Guffey joins Marc to talk about the origins of modern conspiracy theories. What is the Illuminati? Why is Freemasonry central to so many conspiracies? How do cultural icons like Rudyard Kipling, John Huston and Steven Spielberg factor into the spread of conspiracy thinking? And how did Qanon grab hold of the fevered conspiratorial mind?

On this spooky season edition of Parallax Views, film scholar Gary D. Rhodes, one of the foremost authorities on Bela Lugosi and classic horror cinema, and Robert Guffey return to the show to discuss their new edited volume Scripts from the Crypt No. 12: Tod Browning's Revolt of the Dead. Tod Browning is perhaps best known for director 1931's Dracula. Starring Bela Lugosi as the titular vampire count, a role which he'd become inextricably linked to for the rest of his career, Dracula was a massive success for Hollywood's depression era Universal Studios and launched that studios foray into making wildly popular creatures features for the next three decades. Before The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein, The Invisible Man, and The Mummy there was Tod Browning's Dracula. Browning, however, wasn't new to either Hollywood or weaving tales of the macabre for the silver screen. Born on July 12, 1880, Browning ran was fascinated from a young age by carnivals and eventually ran away from home to join a traveling circus. From there he'd transition to acting and, finally, becoming a director. In the silent film era, Browning became known for his collaborations with Lon Chaney, Sr., who became known as "The Man of a Thousand Faces" and whose credits include such classics as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Phantom of the Opera. Together, Browning and Chaney told macabre tales involving themes like violence and mutilation in films like West of Zanzibar, The Unholy Three, The Unknown, and the infamously lost London After Midnight. Browning would then go on to direct Dracula before making other films such as the controversial Freaks (featuring real-life circus people) his London After Midnight talkie remake Mark of the Vampire. In this conversation Gary, Robert and I discuss: - An introduction to the Scripts from the Crypt series founded by film historian Tom Weaver - Biographical background on Tod Browning, who was often spoken of as the Edgar Allen Poe of filmmakers in his time and his influence on filmmakers and artists including Ray Bradbury, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Woody Allen - The critical beating Browning has taken over the years and why Gary argues that it's mistaken; the Spanish Dracula vs. Browning's Dracula; Browning's transition from the silent films to talking motion pictures; Browning's collaborations with Lon Chaney Sr. and the horror elements in them - Browning's light-hearted murder mystery Miracles for Sale; Browning's early talkie The Thirteenth Chair starring Bela Lugosi (before Dracula) and its taking on the subject of spiritualist conmen/frauds; Browning's silent films such as West of Zanzibar, The Unknown, and The Unholy Three - Tod Browning's thematic obsessions: trickery, fakery, deception, mutilation, sexual frustration, and more; the different kinds of trickery dealt with in Browning's films; harmless truths vs. dangerous lies and swindling; skepticism towards medium, seances, and the supernatural; women and how they are portrayed in Browning's movies (such as Carol Borland's Luna in Mark of the Vampire); the Scooby Doo-eqsue element of Browning's murder mysteries - Tod Browning's Freaks; a movie that used real-life circus people; the film's subversive quality by way of its making viewers sympathize with the circus people and treating the "normal" people as the villains; the question of Freaks success and its effect on Browning's career; mentioning how the pop punk band The Ramones were influenced by Freaks; the role of vaudeville, circuses, and sideshow life on Browning's work - The Browning script/treatment for the unmade movie Revolt of the Dead; the movie would've predated William Friedkin's The Exorcist and Night of the Living Dead in dealing with now common horror tropes like demonic possession and the zombie apocalypse; Revolt of the Dead would've even included human crucifixions; the story would've also included the phenomena of stigmata, the inexplicable appearance of wounds on the wrists like those of Jesus Christ during the crucifixion; the unique qualities of the script - Tod Browning's Londo After Midnight, the "Holy Grail" of lost films; the rumors, legends, hoaxes around the movie ever since it was destroyed in a fire at the MGM vault; the iconic image of Lon Chaney Sr;. in scar make-up for London After Midnight; other lost films including F.W. Murnau's Der Januskopf (aka The Head Janus; starring Conrad Veidt and Bela Lugosi) and the 1959 Bela Lugosi-headlining chiller Lock Up Your Daughters - Robert' novel Bela Lugosi's Dead, which deals with a man searching for the lost test footage of Lugosi as Frankentein's monster - The Revolt of the Dead in relationship to White Zombie, William Seabrook's Magic Island novel and its success, American military involvement in Haiti, and racist/xenophobic sentiments about Haiti in the early 20th century - Appreciating early 20th century cinema; getting past the "I can't watch Black-and-White movies" mentality; the rewarding aspect of watching classic movies - Tod Browning and the Grand Guignol, the theater tradition in France obsessed with the gruesome and grotesque And much, much more!

Have you ever thought that your neighbors might be acting a little stranger than normal? That your house suddenly appeared bigger on the inside than the outside?  That invisible dwarves were following you on your madcap escape from various intelligence agencies out to ruin your life, specifically? Well you might, unfortunately, be entirely correct. This week we're looking at Robert Guffey's book Chameleo: A Strange but True Story of Invisible Spies, Heroin Addiction, and Homeland Security, an entirely bizarre and perhaps completely accurate account of what happens when the military industrial complex decides to test out their fancy new future-tech gadgets on you. We've got heroin soaked flop-houses, stolen night-vision goggles, invisible dwarves, invisible Jeeps, invisible robots, esoteric Freemasonry, and more than one food fight. All this and more as we unpack the quite possibly real Project Chameleo.
