Book Vs. Movie: House of UsherThe Edgar Allen Poe Short Story Vs. the 1960 Vincent Price Movie The Margos continue our month of scary movies with the 1839 short story, The Fall of House of Usher, by Edgar Allen Poe, and how it was adapted by Roger Corman in 1960 for the Vincent Price classic House of Usher. The story of the Roderick family, consisting of siblings Roderick and Madeline, is a gothic tale about their shared traumatic experiences that haunt them in their home. The narrator, who remains unnamed, witnesses supernatural occurrences and discovers that Madeline, supposedly dead and buried in the house, is alive. This revelation terrifies her brother, and Madeline uses it to seek revenge against him.The movie, which Corman directed, is a classic adaptation that stands out for its interpretation of the story and the exceptional acting of Vincent Price. The film was listed in the U.S. National Film Registry in 2005 for its artistic merit. This begs the question: which version do we prefer, the short story or the movie?In this ep, the Margos discuss:Edgar Allen PoeHow the material has been interpreted recentlyThe differences between the short story and the movieThe cast of the 1960 film: Vincent Price (Roderick Usher,) Mark Damon (Phillip Winthrop,) Myrna Fahey (Madeline Usher,) and Harry Ellerbe as the butler, Bristol.Clips used:Roderick describes his particular conditionHouse of Usher 1960 trailerThe Usher family history“A plague of evil”“Strange noises in the house”Music: Les BaxterBook Vs.

Mean Streets was Martin Scorsese's third feature film, and the one that confirmed him as a major new talent. On its premiere at the New York Film Festival in 1973, the critic Pauline Kael hailed the film as 'a true original of our period, a triumph of personal film-making'. The tale of combative friends and small-time crooks is set amid the bars, pool halls, tenements and streets of Manhattan's Little Italy. Scorsese has said of his childhood neighbourhood, 'its very texture was interwoven with organised crime', and this quality would dramatically inform the tone and restless energy of his seminal film.Demetrios Matheou's insightful study considers Mean Streets' production history in the context of the New Hollywood period of American cinema, noting also the key roles played by John Cassavetes and Roger Corman. He analyses the importance of Scorsese's background to the film's characters and themes, including preoccupations with guilt, redemption and criminal subcultures; the development of the director's film-making process and signature style; the way in which he both drew upon and invigorated the crime genre; his relationship with emerging stars Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel, and the film's reception and legacy.Matheou argues that while Taxi Driver (1976) and Raging Bull (1980) are regarded as Scorsese's greatest films of the period, Mean Streets is the more influential achievement. With it, Scorsese not only paved the way for a new kind of crime movie, not least his own GoodFellas (1990), but also inspired generations of independently-minded film-makers.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/writers-on-film.

Nico and Adam complete their two-part exploration of trashy sci-fi auteurs by watching six basic cable classics directed by Paul W.S. Anderson. The films discussed: Shopping, Anderson's indie debut that showcases his punk sensibilities and the acting prowess of newcomer Jude Law (8:51); Mortal Kombat, Anderson's colorfully plotless adaptation of the arcade game of the same name (20:25); Event Horizon, a gnarly space horror flick, starring Laurence Fishburne and Sam Neill, that was predestined for cult status (34:24); Soldier, a criminally underrated Kurt Russell vehicle that doubles as a secret Blade Runner spin-off (46:58); Resident Evil, the first installment of Anderson's signature franchise, starring his future wife Mila Jovovich (1:04:21); and Death Race, an update of Roger Corman's 70s camp classic, starring Jason Statham and a loaded cast of character actors (1:23:02).

Actor, writer, director, and novelist John Sayles (MATEWAN, BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET, LONE STAR) joins Team Deakins on this episode of the podcast for a discussion covering his long career in filmmaking and in fiction writing. A true multi-hyphenate, John first describes his postgraduate journey from working in an Italian sausage factory to enlisting in the Roger Corman film factory. John reflects on his luck having his first three screenplays produced under the legendary filmmaker and on the lessons he learned shooting his self-funded first feature. Working chiefly in independent American cinema, John considers the times and the market in which he came up that facilitated his filmmaking and offers advice for young filmmakers today. Among the many other topics of discussion, we consider the following: how John decides which medium best serves a story, the benefits of cutting in your head during production, and how comfortable an actor may or may not feel working out of an Econo Lodge in West Virginia. - This episode is sponsored by Dallas Film Commission Instagram: @dallasfilmcommission
Papier-mâché blockbuster filmmaker Roger Corman arrives at the Pals' campfire with a proposition to adapt one of HP Lovecraft's novellas into a movie of an Edgar Allan Poe story, in our latest teaser micro-episode. Submitted for the Approval of the Midnight Pals' first season begins releasing full episodes weekly from October 31st. CAST ROGER CORMAN – Bitter KarellaEDGAR ALLAN POE – Rodrigo BorgesDEAN KOONTZ – Wren MontgomeryHP LOVECRAFT – Robin JohnsonCLIVE BARKER – Sister IndicaMARY SHELLEY – Rebecca D'SouzaScript and production by Robin Johnson, including material adapted from tweets by Bitter Karella. Notes concerning Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe's HP Lovecraft's The Haunted Palace: The real-life Roger Corman did indeed make a movie adaptation of Lovecraft's short novel The Case of Charles Dexter Ward which was released under the title Edgar Allan Poe's The Haunted Palace (1963) so that it could be marketed as part of Corman's infamous "Poe Cycle". Edgar Allan Poe did write a six-stanza poem called The Haunted Palace, which has nothing in common with Corman's movie except that Vincent Price's character quotes four lines of it at some point for no particular reason. Poe's name is misspelled as "Edgar Allen Poe" in the film's credits. It's Corman in his most truly Cormanic episode.Midnight Pals characters are written as parodies and do not necessarily represent their real-life counterparts.Find the Midnight Pals at midnightpals.com, on twitter at @midnight_pals, or on bluesky at @midnightpals.bsky.social.

PUBLIC VERSION. Filmmaker Lewis Teague (CUJO, ALLIGATOR, CAT'S EYE, THE JEWEL OF THE NILE) joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen in the ArieScope studio to discuss his 60 year career so far! From the Sam Fuller war film that inspired his curiosity in filmmaking… to starting an underground Cinema on the Sunset strip in the 60's… to working in various capacities on films like George Roy Hill's HAWAII (1966) and the seminal documentary WOODSTOCK (1970)… to working with the legendary Roger Corman… to how he brought realism to genre films like ALLIGATOR (1980) and working on back to back Stephen King adaptations with CUJO (1983) and CAT'S EYE (1985)… to getting the call from Michael Douglas to join the big leagues and direct 1985's THE JEWEL OF THE NILE (the ROMANCING THE STONE sequel)… and how a fateful lunch with a certain PSYCHO star changed his entire outlook on the filmmaking business. At 85 years old, Lewis has tons of incredible stories about his Hollywood journey!
Get cozy, ghouls! This week's episode is all about Roger Corman's cozy spin on HP Lovecraft starring Vincent Price; The Haunted Palace (1963). From wiki: “The Haunted Palace is a 1963 horror film released by American International Pictures, starring Vincent Price, Lon Chaney Jr. and Debra Paget (in her final film), in a story about a village held in the grip of a dead necromancer. The film was directed by Roger Corman and is one of his series of eight films largely based on the works of American author Edgar Allan Poe.” But first: Josh and Dru go to the West side! Drusilla is Lovecraft's great great grandniece or something. Drusilla watched The Erl King (1931) directed by Marie-Louise Iribe on Criterion. Josh watched the first film by an obscure director named Steven Spielberg called Duel and became a men's rights activist. (Kidding!) Also mentioned: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Häxan, Jean Cocteau, Hell Comes to Frog Town, Guy Maddin, Kenneth Anger, Road Games, The Vanishing Point, Death Proof, Jaws, Tenebrae, Scooby Doo, Elisha Cook Jr., Lair of the White Worm, The Haunting of Julia, cozy horror, Joe Dante, Alan Arkush, The Sentinel, and more!

In this episode, I spoke with the author Chris Alexander on his book Corman/Poe: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman's Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960-1964. Produced on modest budgets for American International Pictures, Roger Corman's adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories were popular in their time as escapist horror cinema. Most starred horror icon Vincent Price and were written (and "freely adapted") by the likes of Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont and Robert Towne.
