Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Vampires... but were too scared to ask! Folks have a fear and fascination with bloodsuckers like Count Dracula and Akasha, the ancient vampire Queen of the Damned and others, so, to celebrate Halloween I'm bringing in vampire expert Prof. Stanley Stepanic of The University of Virginia to, not exactly shed some light one the subject, because, according to lore, that might make the vampires burst into flames, but to give us a lively history of the undead. To date he has published three textbooks that have been released in recent editions - these are "Dracula or the Timeless Path of the Vampire," "Russian and East European Film", and "Russian Folklore". His latest book, a novella titled “A Vamp There Was,” is set in 1920s Virginia, and looks at the vamp archetype… that of a desirable woman who manipulates men. A young man from Virginia investigates the secrets of her past and the devastating effect on the men who fall for her.  Professor Stepanic teaches a popular class on Dracula at The University of Virginia which covers the history of the vampire from pre-Christian Slavic belief to the present and often appears on lists of students' favorite University courses. Then, at the end of the show I share a taste of an interview I did with director Matt Reeves. He's directed movies like “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” “War for the Planet of the Apes” and “The Batman” with Robert Pattinson, but here we talk about his unique vampire film “Let Me In.” It's a remake of a Swedish film, but unlike so many remakes, this story of a bullied young boy who befriends a young female vampire who lives in secrecy with her guardian, really works and is perfect Halloween viewing.

After the couple gets married, Oliver becomes concerned about Irena's notion that she is cursed and may transform into a large cat in the heat of passion. Confiding in his beautiful assistant, Alice Moore (Jane Randolph), about his marital issues, Oliver unwittingly triggers Irena's curse, with tragic results.1982 - In this sensual and violent horror tale, Irena  (Nastassia Kinski) has a dark family secret, one that resurfaces dramatically when she reconnects with her estranged brother, Paul (Malcolm McDowell). Living with her sibling in New Orleans, Irena finds herself enamored with zoologist Oliver Yates (John Heard), even as her brother makes his own advances toward her.

However there are a number of other connections including the aforementioned pool scene, the main character being named Irena and the bus coming out of seemingly nowhere for a jump scare. Producer Wilbur Stark bought the rights to the RKO Library and intended to make a series of horror remakes but the box office failure of this and The Thing killed any future plans. This was made in the middle of a string of remakes of classic horror movies including The Thing, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Fly and Nosferatu the Vampyre.We all agree the pool scare sequence is one of our favorite moments from both films, and shockingly all 3 of us had more to say about the originalSupport the show (https://www.paypal.me/bingewatcherspodcast)

Folks, we had strong drinks for a strong language, but it wasn't Vodka that sent us off the rails. For this fiasco we would like to thank Tequila. In this episode we discuss the folklore legends Baba Yaga and Koschei the Deathless. So, hop on your mortar and pestle and set your forest house to spin cycle. Or, in the spirit of Koschei get naked and ride your faithful steed. No matter how you travel, we think you will enjoy this tale of two feisty and complex characters that appear in many Russian fairytales and are not your typical villains.On second thought, riding a steed while naked is never a good idea. We recommend getting cozy in your favorite chair (with anything but Tequila) and allow your imagination to run wild as we unravel a fascinating tale!We want to hear from you!

In the deep, dark forests of Russia, where danger lurks in the liminal spaces, you might just find the unusual abode of one of folklore's most fascinating characters: the incomparable Baba Yaga. With her hooked nose, her bedraggled hair and her wrinkled skin, this hag of hags appears in her strange mode of transport, ready to aid or to hinder, depending on how much you keep your wits about you. With roots in the early Slavic pantheon of gods and goddesses, Baba Yaga has changed through the centuries, playing different roles for different listeners, and slowly crystallising into the ultimate fairy tale witch.Arm yourself with your magic charms and keep your tongue sharp as we cross the threshold into the domain of talking creatures and mystical powers to stoke the fires and spin a tale or two of Baba Yaga.

Baba Yaga - OG witch and one of the many characters of ancient Slavic folklore. Today we explore Slavic folklore just like we explored Germanic folklore with the Brother's Grimm episode. The peoples of medieval Russia and Eastern Europe loved a good dark tale to teach their kids to be wary of strangers, listen to their parents, etc. Fear sells now and fear sold then, and Baba Yaga was scary. She was most often depicted as an evil witch living in a magical mobile home able to move about on top of chicken legs. And if you had the unfortunate experience of meeting Baba Yaga, she most likely was going to try and eat you. So meet Baba and some of the other crazy characters that populated her world and more, today, on Timesuck.  Check out Lynze and I's new horror podcast Scared to Death. Listen on Spotify, Stitcher, iTunes, Youtube, and more!

In this brief, less than fifteen, minute podcast, I outline the Psychological Moves made by a beloved figure in Russian Folklore, for the purpose of seeing how some antiheroes become heroes.

Two vastly different stories of children made from snow. The first is one where the king is called on to solve some dating issues...but then discovers something far colder is at play. The second is the completely real story of a totally legitimately born snow child and what do you mean you don't think he's real? Of course he's real? Well, whatever. You can't prove otherwise so what are you going to do about it? The creature this week is one that likes to make his home (and his toilet!) out of cinnamon. --- Sponsors: Credit Karma: Check out the app or http://creditkarma.com to get always free reports about your credit score!

The unexpected story of a fool, an epic quest, and a flying ship. Also, why you should respect your elders, especially if they want to give you a lot of free bread and vodka.

Victoria Kononova is studying Slavic languages at the University of Wisconsin. Her dissertation is entitled "Nationalism, Ethnography, and the Appropriation of the Folk in Late Nineteenth Century Russian Literature and Culture". Snow-maiden stories have captivated people everywhere. At this event, its image in Russian culture is explained. This event is sponsored by the UAA Languages Department.

The discussion on Russian folklore continues with "Ivan the Firebird and the Gray Wolf. An in depth analysis of this fairytale is facilitated by the formulae wrought out by Vladimir Propp in "The Morphology of the Folktale". Emphasis is placed on wondertale motifs, themes that imply individual development. As I read the story, musical accompaniment is provided by Stravinsky (Firebird). Lastly, I provide an introduction to Russian bylanies, which are songs and poems about epic heroes. These stories tend to discuss the creation of Russia from Keiv to the Tartar Yoke. Enjoy!

The series contiues with the role Ivan IV (Ivan the Terrible) played in Russian civilization. Emphasis is placed on his contributions, which included the collection and distribution of folklore. A discussion on his epithet "Ivan the Terrible" is also provided. I was surprised to find that although Ivan IV carried out several wicked acts, he was nonetheless praised as a good ruler. His character and reign marked the beginning of a type of rule that will come to dominate Russia. His interest in folklore provides the basis for collection and distribution of Russian folklore. Special attention is given to this subject in this episode. For a better understanding of Russian folklore, I turn to Vladimir Propp, author of "The Morphology of Folklore". Enjoy!
