Better Than Friday - 317
Hello y'all, reading anything good this Halloween season?
Just shot the review for John William Polidori's "The Vampyre" (Paid Link) - The first Vampire story in English. Coming your way soon. October AMA video coming soon as well.
Thank you so much for all your help in keeping the show going - Have a great weekend.
A Gothic Novel written by an Irish Priest about a man who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for an additional 150 years of life.
If it was enjoyed by Baudelaire, Poe, and Oscar Wilde, I imagine it's quite something.
Boris Karloff (the Frankenstein Monster) Coffee Commercial
That is quite the stash he's got there in his castle.
These Immortal Souls - Crowned
Can't go wrong with Rowland S. Howard.
Florida is now turning invasive Burmese pythons into luxury goods
Here's a wild article from National Geographic about a woman who is doing this.
Don't get me wrong, I love snakes - but considering the damage they've been wreaking on native species in the Everglades, I'm ok with this."Gothic" directed by Ken Russell
A very bizarre cinematic take on the night at the mansion near Lake Geneva where Byron, Polidori, and the Shelleys had their ghost story contest.
Littered with problems - they definitely weren't flattering to Byron nor Polidori, but it's such a bizarre, demented film that it's worth a watch.
Ken Russell was the outrageous director behind "The Devils".
Gave Gary (our skeleton) an Upgrade after my Dracula review. He didn't mind.

NGL the Devils is one of my favorite movies and I love telling people about Lair of the White worm because its so bizarre to tell Dr Who fans that one of Peter Capaldi's early roles was a horror movie where he acted along side Hugh Grant of all people.
Haha nice, both great films. And Lair of the White Worm is based on a Stoker novel no less!
Especially towards the end! And even if the historical accuracy is a bit dubious, I really liked Mary Shelley's portrayal. She was my favourite character.
She's the only sane one in the film hahaha - it's the story of her realizing she's trapped in a house filled with lunatics.
I got up super early and couldn't get back to sleep. Got this update and thought I'd check out Gothic. It's 7:30am here, I feel I've started the day well!
Ha! Nice - Glad you enjoyed, it's weird as hell isn't it?
