Dark Discussions Podcast #41 - M.J. Preston's The Equinoz
Episode 041 - M.J. Preston's The Equinox
In the 1980’s and 1990’s, Stephen King’s
prominence brought about a flood of mass market paperbacks to
bookstores, libraries, and supermarket checkout lines. Horror reading
had become the fad and anyone who had a manuscript seemed to have their
books published. Unfortunately most of them were horrible or mediocre
at best and by the end of the 1990’s
the horror market completely collapsed leaving only a handful of the
early authors having their books published for a mass audience.
Today a handful of great authors are
still about including Jonathan Maberry, Gord Rollo, and Brian Keene.
Others have dabbled within horror such as Douglas Preston, Michael
Crichton, Lincoln Child, and Scott Sigler, but many of their books cross
genres into techno-thrillers and science fiction. But for those
looking for a throwback to the writings of Stephen King, a new novel
from 2011 entitled The Equinox by M.J. Preston was released that brought
horror back to its core.
When a tribe of native people in the
Northwest Territories of Canada are snowed in from the world, they are
forced to resort to inhuman ways of survival. When a presence is drawn
to their suffering, an evil blankets over their continued existence
until a misfortunate occurrence results in the spread of the terror to
more populated lands. With its ensemble cast, the novel takes paths
that lead to a serial killer, demonic monsters, and a police department
that slowly discovers that there may be something deeper into the crimes
that have transpired in their small farming town in Manitoba.
Dark Discussions is joined by the
author of this fantastic novel which co-host Philip has stated is one of
the top ten horror novels he’s read since 2000. With the novel readily
available at such stores as Amazon and Barnes and Noble, folks should
go out and check their local library or get a copy for themselves.
For further information on M.J. Preston, check out The Equinox website
and the author page. Also you can listen to another interview by Mr.
Preston at Ron’s Amazing Stories #31.

Dark Discussions Podcast Episode 040 - High School of the Dead
Episode 040 - High School of the Dead
With a large fan base for genre animated
films such as Heavy Metal, Fire and Ice, and Beowulf, the West has been
denied the variety of product that such nations as Japan has. The land
of the rising sun has filled their fanbase with series after series of
science fiction, horror, and fantasy animated films both based off of
original material and graphic novels. Though Western fans have graphic
novels, Japanese manga, and Heavy Metal magazine, cinematic animation
has been very limited. Fortunately for decades Japanese anime has been
imported and dubbed into many different languages bringing with them
fantastical worlds and horrific visuals. Such series as Gantz,
Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy, Mardock Scramble, and Rin have been giving an
alternate yet very fulfilling experience equally as Fringe, Dexter, and
True Blood have to genre fans.
Dark Discussions focuses on one of the
more popular Japanese imports from 2011 entitled High School of the
Dead. When a group of five seniors and the twenty-six year old school
nurse end up in the epicenter of a global zombie apocalypse, our six
survivors attempt a breakout from the high school for lands more
forgiving. With additional focus on the zombies, the series gives such
shows as The Walking Dead a run for their money. Violence, adult
situations, and kinetic mayhem make the struggle of our six core
protagonists much more harrowing than your typical zombie media.
With a roaring soundtrack, fantastic
animation, a story that has the undertow of the rot of society, and
three hundred minutes of frenzy surrounding the action, Dark Discussions
brings an overview of one of the most exciting and satisfying viewing
experiences from 2011. Get ready for a new take on zombies that
illustrates a tired topic and makes it as fresh as a recently risen
corpse.

Vicis Interimo Podcast #103 Brain Dead aka Dead Alive
Dead Alive: UR, 1992
Although it's easy to admire the maniacal glee of director Peter Jackson's bloodfest, Dead Alive is nonetheless intense and profoundly disturbing. When a Sumatran rat-monkey bites Lionel Cosgrove's mother, she's transformed into a zombie. She begins killing (and transforming) the entire town while Lionel races to keep things under control. Events culminate at a house party that turns into a blood-drenched zombie buffet.

Dark Discussions Podcast Episode 039 - The Best of 2011
The best of the year: 2011. The
definition of what makes a film a 2011 film is pretty tough with genre
movies. Many were released in 2010 through the festival circuit but
were not available for anyone not in a major metropolitan area. Others
were foreign films and due to distribution rights they never made it to
cinemas in other nations and were instead released directly to DVD but
months after their initial release in their home country. As a result,
our definition of a 2011 film is a movie which was rolled out to
thousands of theaters or released to DVD for the first time for mass
consumption.
Since the films discussed are horror,
to define a horror film can be a bit tough too. Each of your co-hosts
had their own ideas. Horror comedy, dark thriller, supernatural
suspense, exploitation, and of course slashers were considered. Even
one film that was released years ago but has a new director’s cut is
presented. But should films like Rise of the Planet of the Apes,
Contagion, or Hobo With a Shotgun be considered?
Your hosts discuss top ten lists that
include some standards like Insidious, Paranormal Activity 3, and Stake
Land, but also less known films such as Dream Home, The Reef, and
Kidnapped. Others that may raise eyebrows that are discussed include
Jon Hewitt’s X, Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia, and Kevin Smith’s Red
State. The conversation touches such topics as the biggest
disappointments as well as what the new year has ahead. Is 2012 the
year Hollywood bounces back with big budget films like Prometheus
leading the way? As one listener, Peter from Massachusetts has done, go
out and watch as many on our lists as you can.

Vicis Interimo Podcast #102 Paranormal Activity 2 and Mirrors 2
Paranormal Activity 2: (2010) R
Doors slamming shut, shadows moving across the floor -- the unexplained, terrifyingly real supernatural forces are back, and this time, Dan (Brian Boland), Kristi (Sprague Grayden), Ali (Molly Ephraim), baby Hunter and dog Abby become part of the nightmare as the cameras roll. Tod Williams (The Door in the Floor) directs and Michael R. Perry ("Persons Unknown") writes this spine-chilling sequel to the wildly popular 2009 flick.
Mirrors 2: (2010) NR/R
In this sequel to the horror-thriller Mirrors, a security guard (Nick Stahl) working the night shift unwittingly discovers a portal to another dimension and starts having visions of a young woman who was murdered long ago. At first, he assumes what he's seeing is a figment of his own imagination. But when the vengeful girl's spirit begins claiming innocent victims, he's got concrete reasons to fear for his life.

Dark Discussions Podcast Episode 038 - Iconic Characters in Horror Volume 1
Since Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and her
creation of the monster, iconic horror characters have entered the
imaginations but more so the nightmares of genre fans for generations.
Whether they are supernatural monsters that stalk the night for new
victims, whether they are wicked sociopaths filled with murdering wrath,
whether they are demonic outer beings that collect souls for hell,
monsters both human and inhuman have been the focus of frightening and
lurid tales both in literature and film alike.
Dark Discussions takes a look into what has
frightened audiences over these past forty years. With an eclectic
look into the genre, four fiends of death which have brought audiences
terror and dread through various film franchises are spotlighted in
detail. Michael Myers of John Carpenter’s Halloween fame seems human,
yet could there be a supernatural element to his beginnings? The focus
of his murderous deeds make him unique as a personality. Jebidiah
Morningside, better known as the Tallman in Phantasm, appears to be
nothing more than the local mortician but behind closed doors some would
say he’s more likely a necromancer, a demon, or maybe even the product
of outer dimensions such as hell. Speaking of hell, Clive Barker’s
creation of Pinhead, a demon known as a cenobite, comes calling to those
who would dare summon him in search of pain and pleasure that no sane
human being would seek. Lastly, Freddy Krueger of Wes Craven’s
Nightmare on Elm Street returns in the nightmares of the offspring of
those who murdered him after discovering while alive he had killed
children for pleasure.
Philip and Gordon discuss each monster and
their film franchises in detail. To wrap up the episode, from the mail
bag, a number of zombie podcasts are focused on (thanks to listener
Wodan). They include Darker Projects which features an audio production
of David Moody's 'Autumn' in six parts as well as an original, ongoing
zombie production called 'Alive Inside'. Also the website Zombie
Astronaut, though older, has a number of zombie audio productions for
your listening pleasure. Welcome once again to another Dark Discussion.
