Okay so *wait a second*—*Nosferatu* is *back* again? This time in 2024? Look, I've been trying to follow this for like fifteen years now, and I'm still not sure how we got here. First there was *Dracula*, right? Bram Stoker writes that, full of bats and aristocratic bloodsucking and all that. Then Germany goes rogue in the 1920s and makes *Nosferatu*, but it's not called *Dracula*, even though it's *clearly* Dracula, because they didn't *ask permission*. So they change the names and hope nobody notices. Spoiler: the Stoker estate noticed. *Hard.* Lawsuits happen. Copies get burned. And yet somehow Nosferatu survives… because that's what Nosferatu does.*Now*, in 2024, there's a new *Nosferatu*—directed by Robert Eggers, no less—and Clay and Amanda are here on *The Rotten Horror Picture Show* podcast to dig into all the shadowy nooks and eerie crannies of this beautifully gothic reimagining. Is it a remake of the illegal remake of *Dracula*? A re-remake of the original that couldn't legally exist? Is that legal now? Is anything? Does copyright even *mean* anything when every monster has at least three origin stories?Clay and Amanda are unafraid to untangle the legal and artistic roots of the most iconic bald vampire in cinematic history. With moody visuals, creeping dread, and Willem Dafoe's legacy breathing down everyone's necks, this new take on *Nosferatu* asks: do we still fear the things we thought we buried? And also: how long before *Nosferatu* joins the MCU?So, if you're someone who enjoys slow-burn horror, public domain loopholes, and podcasts that know the difference between an homage and an infringement, then this episode is for you. Even if copyright law makes your head hurt. Especially if it does.And be sure to hit up patreon.com/thepenskyfile to hear all the coverage of remakes and reboots this year!

Started receding a conversation I was having with one of my good friends. We talk religion, sales, life in general. Hope this helps someone feel like they aren't just in their head going crazy with thoughts that are normal.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 365 - Vampire BridesLet's jump into Bram Stoker's 1897 Gothic novel - Dracula.  Now the character of Count Dracula draws from  draws from historical figures, folklore, and literary innovation, and is widely believed to be inspired by Vlad III Dracula (Vlad the Impaler), a 15th-century Wallachian prince known for his brutal tactics against Ottoman invaders.  The name "Dracula" derives from Vlad II Dracul, Vlad III's father, who belonged to the Order of the Dragon (Dracul meaning "dragon" or "devil" in Romanian).Now Bram Stoker - though we don't have any solid proof of this - likely encountered the name of Vlad the impaler - the 15th century Wallachian prince known for his brutal tactics against Ottoman invaders - in his research for his novel, but there is no proof that Stoker's modeled the Count directly on him. Scholars note Stoker's notes mention neither Vlad nor Transylvanian history in depth. He may have just liked the sound of the name.In fact, Stoker blended vampire folklore with Gothic tropes, possibly inspired by actors Sir Henry Irving (for Dracula's aristocratic demeanor) and Jacques Damala. Many scholars believe he lesbian vampire tale Carmilla (1872) also influenced the novel's tone.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 1 ‘Gates of Argonath' member, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Dr. John E. Browning. A professor in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area, John Edgar Browning, Ph.D. has contracted or published 20 academic and popular trade books as well as over 100 shorter works on subjects that cluster around cultural studies, critical media literacy, Dracula, vampires, monstrosity, and horror. Included among his work in film and media studies is his decade-and-a-half-long ethnographic fieldwork with the human or real vampire subculture (a topic in which there are perhaps five scholars worldwide). In addition to academic venues, Browning has published on the real vampire subculture in public forums such as The Atlantic (2015) and Discover Magazine (2015 and 2018), and his unique expertise in this area has helped facilitate several public appearances as a guest scholar on, or service as a consultant for, over two dozen television and streaming networks, professional podcasts, and radio programs, including Discovery channel, National Geographic, Animal Planet, AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth's History of Horror, History channel, Disney+, Netflix, Discover Magazine's “It's Only Science” podcast, Ripley's Believe It or Not, NPR, The Howard Stern Show network, BBC Radio, RTÉ—Ireland's National Television and Radio Broadcaster, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Georgia Public Broadcasting, and SLATE among others. In this interview, John and I discuss his research into the Real Vampire Community. He talks about his motivation to begin looking into this subculture, as well as what he's learned over the years. As this topic somewhat overlaps with my own research into the Otherkin community, I take the opportunity to ‘compare notes' so to speak, and ask questions to gain more clarity on this group. John also discusses to what degree contemporary expressions of the vampire in popular culture have influenced the real vampire community, and how his research has contributed to changing perceptions of this subculture. He talks about his term ‘defiant culture' as it relates to people who have been labeled ‘Other' or ‘deviant' and also mentions how his research has helped forensic professionals that deal with crimes that seem, on the surface, to involve people who label themselves ‘vampires'. We also touch upon the Temple of the Vampire, a group that is viewed as a religious organization, and how this group relates to the larger vampire community in the US. PROGRAM NOTESJohn Edgar Browning - Savannah College of Art and DesignForeword to The Palgrave Handbook of the Vampire (ed.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 363  - Dracula's Guest, Part OneFinally - this podcast is beginning a series of episodes about Bram Stoker's Dracula. First, I am going to delve into - at some detail - what is often felt to be the first chapter of Bram Stoker's Dracula and was first published as "Dracula's Guest” in the short story collection Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories (1914). Again, It was believed to have been intended as the first chapter for novel Dracula, but was deleted prior to publication as the original publishers felt it was superfluous to the story.  I will start with some commentary about Dracula's Guest, the first part of the story, and then finish the story - or chapter - or whatever it is - in the following episode.In the preface to the original edition of Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories, Stoker's widow Florence wrote, "To his original list of stories in this book, I have added an hitherto unpublished episode from Dracula. It was originally excised owing to the length of the book, and may prove of interest to the many readers of what is considered my husband's most remarkable work."Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is a 1922 silent German horror film directed by F. W. Murnau and starring Max Schreck as Count Orlok, a vampire. Nosferatu was produced by Prana Film and is an unauthorized and unofficial adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. Various names and other details were changed from the novel, including Count Dracula being renamed Count Orlok. Even with several details altered, Stoker's heirs sued over the adaptation, and a court ruling ordered all copies of the film to be destroyed. However, several prints of Nosferatu survived, and the film came to be regarded as an influential masterpiece of cinema. Today, Karl from When It Was Cool reviews this, very close to the novel, interpretation of Dracula in Nosferatu (1922). Support us on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/wiwcool

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 355 - Why All the Fuss About DraculaEpisode 354 should be a relatively short episode - the subject is Stoker's Dracula - and I want to briefly explore some reasons WHY Dracula is considered a great book. But before I start, I am going to be talking about all kinds of aspects of Dracula - and I know some of them are completely new to you - stick with me, and in several episodes, hopefully all this will make sense.The novel unfolds through journals, letters, and newspaper clippings, immersing readers in the characters' perspectives. This epistolary style builds suspense—readers piece together clues alongside the protagonists, heightening tension. Jonathan Harker's early journal entries, for instance, subtly foreshadow Dracula's menace without explicit exposition.Stoker synthesized Eastern European folklore into a cohesive mythos, defining modern vampire traits: aversion to sunlight, shape-shifting, and vulnerability to stakes and garlic. Unlike later romanticized vampires, Dracula is a chilling aristocrat who embodies Victorian fears of foreign invasion and sexual corruption.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

The episode begins with a host setting the atmosphere for a spine-chilling story, highlighting the cold weather outside and inviting listeners to prepare for a tale titled "Devilstone." This narrative unfolds in Dublin, where the protagonist, Timothy Martin, leads a comfortable life thanks to a substantial inheritance. However, his tranquil existence is disrupted when he inherits an abandoned property in County Fermanagh, known as Devilstone, from a forgotten uncle.Timothy's initial reaction is nonchalant; he considers renting the property out but is met with a skeptical response from his solicitor, Ian Carney. Carney strangely advises against renting it to prospective tenants, raising curiosity and concern. Shortly after, a visitor named Mr. Stoker arrives, furious about having visited Devilstone with his wife. Stoker claims that the house is haunted, which Timothy dismisses as absurd, thinking it's merely an excuse to avoid the rental.Despite Everts, Timothy's loyal manservant, suggesting the hauntings might have a foundation, Timothy is determined to investigate Devilstone for himself. They travel to the estate, encountering an imposing, gloomy mansion that unsettles both of them and their dog, Kim. As they explore the property, strange occurrences and eerie sounds begin to surface, raising the tension.The narrative escalates with Timothy feeling someone's presence, witnessing strange footprints appearing in the mud, and experiencing physical manifestations of terror. Undeterred, he pushes forward, wanting to investigate further despite the creeping fear. However, they soon find themselves trapped in a room as doors mysteriously close, and a chilling voice ominously warns them of impending danger. The ghostly figure of Jason O'Flynn, Timothy's ancestor who had died tragically on the very grounds, appears, confirming that the house is indeed haunted.The suspense builds as Timothy learns about the tragic backstory of Jason O'Flynn, who cursed the place after the demise of his wife. This curse has seemingly trapped his spirit within the house, and the connection to the recent events becomes clear. Timothy resolves to uncover more about the mystery shrouding the estate. The investigation moves forward, but the discoveries lead to a climactic moment when Timothy and Everts uncover a trapdoor concealing the preserved body of Jason O'Flynn himself. This revelation ultimately leads to the lifting of the curse, allowing the ghost to finally rest in peace. The episode closes with a sense of foreboding yet comfort, as the host reflects on the themes of fear and gratitude, urging listeners to find solace in their lives as they drift off to sleep.Overall, the episode is a rich blend of suspense, historical intrigue, and supernatural elements, examining themes of legacy, fear, and confronting the unknown. With careful narrative pacing and intriguing character development, it culminates in a resolved mystery that lingers in the mind of the audience.

Una entidad tan antigua como el propio universo llega a nuestra realidad a través de objetos creados por los humanos. Uno de ellos es la novela Drácula de Bram Stoker, cuya fama pervive gracias a encarnaciones como la película muda Nosferatu, creada con intenciones oculistas… Este es el epicentro de Luz negra (Ed. Minotauro), de nuestro invitado Pedro Berruezo (John Tones), un homenaje a la creación de Stoker y Murnau a través de personajes de diferentes épocas e incluso realidades como Florence Stoker, la viuda, una experta en cinéfilo mudo de nuestros días , la espiritista Maria B. Hayden, Albin Grau, productor ocultista de Nosferatu o el propio Jonathan Harker, primer invitado de Drácula en la novela de Bram Stoker. Libro muy recomendable que complementamos con Duque de Campagne y Don Víctor comentando algunos de los mejores cómics inspirados en el mítico personaje vampírico.Escuchar audio

In this week's episode, we're discussing a movie that Allen has wanted to cover forever and that I have been absolutely dreading-- the 2001 supernatural horror film "The Others." Special topics for your consideration include: the sadneeeeess, recognizing hypocrisy at a tender age, bad medical advice, reasons to go to war, and sad "Beetlejuice." Do you like Nicole Kidman? You can catch her in Episode 76- "???" which is really just "Days of Thunder," or Episode 424- "Stoker" which is also really quite bad. The regular lineup of links!

So much of how we think of Vampires is entwined with Bram Stoker's book Dracula, but what folklore inspired Stoker. We explore the pre Dracula era that led to the rise of the Vampire; from ancient blood sucking entities, to Eastern European graveyards, to Western paranoia. Leaning heavily on Nick Broom's book 'Vampire A New History'.    Help support our podcast by becoming a Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/tqmpod 

Vampire January Continues!! This week we explore the opulent, haunting world of Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, this gothic horror classic reimagines Dracula as a tragic, romantic antihero, blending lush visuals with timeless themes of love, loss, and the supernatural. We discuss Gary Oldman's unforgettable performance as the enigmatic Count Dracula, the film's groundbreaking practical effects, and its richly detailed production design. From Anthony Hopkins' eccentric Van Helsing to Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves' iconic (if occasionally divisive) performances, we examine the cast, storytelling, and Coppola's daring artistic choices. Does Bram Stoker's Dracula remain the definitive adaptation of Stoker's novel, or is it overshadowed by its own extravagance? Tune in as we dissect this enduring classic and its impact on the vampire genre.

Hello and welcome listeners to Episode 270 of Journey with a Cinephile: A Horror Movie Podcast. In this episode, your tour guide, David Garrett Jr., starts off January with doing his New Year, New Movie segment. The randomizer selected The Fourth Victim (1971). I also got a screener for The Damned (2024), that is making its wide release in 2025. This makes for a double feature of people being blinded by things around them, leading to interesting decisions. I also got to see these films for Mini-Reviews: You Are Not Me (2023), Thou Shalt Not Kill (2025), The Phantom of the Opera (1925), Stoker (2013), Before I Wake (2016) and a trio of shorts. They're not horror, but I wanted to support the teams behind them. These are Sundays With Dad (2024), After (2023) and Hard Truths (2023). I hope you enjoy coming on this journey with me!

Hoy sabemos que “Drácula”, la novela de Bram Stoker, refleja varias vivencias de su autor. Los caminos explorados, las ideas que buscaban llegar como fuese al papel, las influencias de otros creadores. Como Walt Whitman, el poeta al que Stoker le dedicó quizás una de sus cartas más personales y a la vez más crípticas, años antes de publicar la obra que lo inmortalizó.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit thewccs.substack.comThe Writing Community Chat Show has always been about celebrating authors, sharing their stories, and inspiring writers everywhere. Our recent interview with J.D. Barker was nothing short of spectacular, a rollercoaster ride of storytelling, career breakthroughs, and invaluable advice. Today, we're giving you a sneak peek into some of the unforgettable moments from this one-of-a-kind conversation. Want the full experience? Become a member now and watch it today.A Tale of Determination: From Stephen King to StardomJ.D. Barker shared an unbelievable story about how his career skyrocketed after what started as a failed attempt to connect with Stephen King. Barker had reached out to King with the hope of receiving permission to use a character from Needful Things in his debut novel, Forsaken. Though King didn't initially respond, fate intervened: King's assistant eventually passed the manuscript along, and to Barker's astonishment, King gave his blessing. The rest is history. This incredible moment not only legitimized Barker's work but also opened doors to a world of opportunity.“It's one of those surreal moments that still feels like a dream,” Barker told us, laughing as he recalled the experience. “One minute, I was trying to track down King; the next, my book sales exploded overnight.”The James Patterson EffectAs if that wasn't enough, Barker also talked about his game-changing collaboration with James Patterson, one of the most successful authors of all time. Patterson's approach to storytelling and his disciplined process left a profound impact on Barker.“James has this incredible ability to simplify storytelling without losing depth,” Barker shared. “Working with him forced me to become a more efficient writer. I used to labor over every sentence, but now I've learned to trust my instincts.”This partnership not only honed Barker's craft but also expanded his reach to an even larger global audience. The camaraderie between these two literary giants is inspiring, and the lessons Barker gleaned are gold for any aspiring writer.Dracul: The Legacy of Bram Stoker Lives OnOne of the most jaw-dropping moments of the interview was when Barker recounted how the Bram Stoker family approached him to co-write a prequel to Dracula. Armed with Bram Stoker's original notes and journals—many of which had never been made public—Barker embarked on the daunting task of bringing Dracul to life. The novel was an instant hit, earning praise from critics and fans alike, while being optioned for film by Paramount.“I'll never forget that phone call,” Barker said, his eyes lighting up. “To have the Stoker family trust me with something so personal and iconic—it was both humbling and terrifying. But that's the kind of challenge you dream of as a writer.”Why You Should Watch NowFrom perseverance to partnerships, J.D. Barker's story is a masterclass in grit, creativity, and seizing opportunities. And the best part? This is just the tip of the iceberg. The full interview dives deeper into his creative process, the ups and downs of his journey, and his invaluable advice for writers at every stage of their careers.You can wait two weeks to watch it when we release it publicly, but why delay the inspiration?

Episode 407: The Crew's going silent while watching F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu. This 1922 German silent film was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Stoker's widow sued and the court ordered all prints to be destroyed. But like a vampire, the film has been resurrected, or restored from a few surviving prints. And thank god, cause the film set the blueprint for vampire films and loads of horror films to come.

It's our bi-annual mailbag episode, where Producer Jake presents listener questions to Danny and Derek. Among the topics of this edition: If hierarchy is inevitable in human societies, how does status not based on wealth work? What would a US weapons embargo on Israel look like? Has neoliberal atomization led to a decline in the popularity of bands? What are Derek's bird feeding tips? Subscribe now for benefits like mailbag submissions, weekly bonus episodes, and our new Discord server! Speaking of the Discord, listeners have formed a book club that sends the following message: "PrestigeHeads are organizing a book club for AP subscribers around military historian Donald Stoker's 2024 book Purpose and Power: U.S. Grand Strategy from the Revolutionary Era to the Present. It will likely be a critical reading given Stoker's affiliations and ideology, but the book should provide ample fodder for discussion. The plan is to read at most 50 pages a week and have ongoing discussions on the AP Discord for each chapter. We have people on board to read the introduction and first chapter by Friday, December 6th."

Bram Stoker's life and career was shaped by the strong women around him. Charlotte Stoker, his mother, raised him on folklore and stories of her own youth, while Speranza (Lady Jane Wilde, the mother of Oscar) was a key influence in expanding his knowledge of Ireland's folklore and mythology.  I'm joined by Marion McGarry, author of the acclaimed book Irish Customs and Rituals and an authority on Charlotte Stoker to discuss some of the women central to Stoker's life and work. Live readings by actor Eva Jane Gaffney bring their words to life. Marion's book is available from: https://www.orpenpress.com/books/irish-customs-and-rituals/

This podcast will reveal how Stoker melded ancient folklore and contemporary fiction. It will show how he exploited Victorian fears around sex, science and religion.

Dracula permeates everything. Before we're five years old, we know his story. It's baked into the cultural imagination. However, if you were to hold that story up to the light, you'd immediately notice a lot of holes. In Bram Stoker's iconic work, Dracula appears less frequently than you would think, and his backstory is referenced in short bursts and shrouded in mystery. His tale is perfect fodder for artists Kelley Jones and Matt Wagner to sink their teeth into. Last year, they published Dracula - Book One: The Impaler through Orlok Press via Kickstarter. The hardcover has spent months in the hands of readers (ours included), and its trade paperback release from Dark Horse Comics is set for October 22nd. With the first chapter complete, exploring Dracula's pre-vampire days, set primarily during his time at the Scholomance, aka his unpaid internship with the devil, Jones and Wagner are ready to unleash volume two, Dracula: The Brides. Their latest entry covers centuries, focusing on how Dracula came into contact with the iconic trio, who get pages in Stoker's book but have seared their way into every adaptation. Who are they? What do they mean to Dracula? What happened to the fourth Bride? Dracula: The Brides will take Kelley Jones and Matt Wagner right up until the moment Bram Stoker's novel begins. This means their next chapter dissects the classic and exposes what the Impaler was up to when the other characters were not paying attention. We happily dig into Dracula with Kelley Jones and Matt Wagner on the podcast. We discuss the title character's relationship with romance, women, and blood. We uncover Jones and Wagner's compulsion to tell this story and why comics were always the best fit for it. Dracula: The Brides has fifteen days left on its Kickstarter campaign.

  It's an EmMajority Report Thursday! She speaks with Adam Hanieh, development studies academic based in the UK, to discuss his recent book Crude Capitalism: Oil, Corporate Power, and the Making of the World Market. Then, she speaks with Greg Stoker, co-host of the Colonial Outcasts podcast, to discuss Israel's recent offensive into Lebanon. First, Emma runs through updates on the release of Jack Smith's new brief on Trump's Jan 6th case, Elon's secret funding of GOP PACs and candidates, Biden-Harris disaster response to Helene, climate change, Harris polling, Israel's expanding offensives in the Middle East, the devastation of Gazan families by Israel, Facebook's suppression, the Longshoremen strike, Jordan Neely's killer, and the presidency of Claudia Sheinbaum, before parsing a little deeper through Jack Smith's Jan 6th briefing, including his approach to SCOTUS' ridiculous immunity qualifiers and some extra insights into the day of January 6th itself. Adam Hanieh then joins, briefly touching on his lived experience in the Middle East before diving deep into the central role that the evolution of fossil fuels has played in shaping Western hegemony over the past century and a half, from the rise of coal directly fueling the growth of the British Empire, and well through the “transition” to oil (really more of an addition than transition) and the rise of US Empire. Expanding on this latter point, Hanieh walks Emma through the rise of the oil industry in the mid-20th Century as a product of monopoly, with near-complete vertical integration in an industry dominated by seven companies (five of which were American), also touching on the major role oil reserves in the Persian Gulf played in the evolution of the Cold War, as the US stepped in for dwindling British and French colonial power in the Middle East, establishing a strong alliance with the Saudi regime before Israel's success in the 1967 war added another major US proxy in the region, with even greater control over the Suez Canal – two relationships that remain central to US interests with the ongoing push for the Abraham Accords. After expanding on the role of the US in bolstering instability and insecurity in the region to secure their influence, Adam wraps up by unpacking the evolution of OPEC and its role as a supposedly decolonial institution headed by a major US-ally and authoritarian regime in Saudi Arabia. Greg Stoker and Emma tackle the rapid expansion of Israel's ongoing military campaign into a full-scale regional conflict, with Israel launching a full-scale terror campaign across Lebanon before advancing a typically collectively punitive bombing campaign against Hezbollah personnel, as well this week's Iran-launched barrage on Tel Aviv. Stoker continues, tackling the glaring parallels between Israel's ongoing invasion of Lebanon and their complete failure in the 2006 war, parsing through the difficulties Israel faces in constantly warring with decentralized guerrilla factions, and exploring Israel's potential responses to Iran's controlled assault. Wrapping up, Greg and Emma tackle the U.S' role as a behind-the-scenes broker between Iran and Israel, and assess the devastating impact Israel's bloodthirst has had on its economy. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they talk with Brendon from San Diego about Harris' attempt to appeal to the center-right, discuss Trump's recent invocations of William McKinley, and watch the Longshoreman Union President vocalize support for Julie Su and call out Fox News… all live on Fox.
