Dark Discussions Podcast: Episode 046 - Bits, Pieces, and Body Parts Volume 2
It’s been over half a year but finally a
second volume of Bits, Pieces, and Body Parts arrives. Yet with this
edition we have a bit of a change. Unlike the prior episode, Episode
014, where your cohosts were live discussing genre news and reviewing a
film immediately after viewing it at the local theater, this new volume
is a mish mash of various subjects and topics.
First off cohosts Gordon and Philip
discuss some of your favorite horror icons as was the case in Episode
038, Iconic Characters in Horror. Here a short conversation on Friday
the 13th’s Jason Voorhees commences before moving on to a detailed talk
of the somewhat overlooked Tony Todd larger than life monster, The
Candyman.
Next, fantasy and zombie author Elaine
Isaak and thriller author K.D. Mason are interviewed, discussing their
novels and what’s coming next. Both will autograph any copies of their
novels that are purchased from their websites.
Continuing, Thomas Newman, the director of
the zombie film Bong of the Dead and the upcoming zombie western
Deadsville, is interviewed where he discusses the home video release of
his debut film (February 21st , 2012) and an exciting synopsis of his
highly anticipated follow up. Afterwards author Charles Day chats about
his debut novel, The Legend of the Pumpkin Thief, which brings the
spirit of Halloween together with the nostalgia of a Steven Spielberg
movie. Lastly, cohost Eric and Philip interview the owners of Fatal
Pictures, Zach Green and Richard Powell, specifically discussing their
half hour psychological horror films Worm (to become a feature length
production) and Familiar, to be given its world premier at Toronto
Frightfest March 2nd, 2012. Familiar will be introduced by Fangoria
magazine and the presentation will let the audience meet and greet the
film makers.

Dark Discussions #45 Vampires in Folklore and Myth
As discussed in Episodes 021, 023, and 029,
The State of Vampires episodes, vampires in film and literature have
been a staple in media for a very long time. From such novels as John
Polidori’s Vampyre, Sheridan LeFanu’s Carmilla and Bram Stoker’s
Dracula, never mind the penny dreadful serial Varney the Vampire, all
from the 1800’s, vampires have appeared as both the main character as
well as the barely seen threat in genre fiction.
After the written story, next came the
impressively done stage plays followed by movies. Culturally, vampires
became a large part of visual entertainment that made them larger than
life, in some cases as a monstrous and ugly villain as seen in Nosferatu
yet in other cases as a charming yet sociopathic individual as
portrayed by Bela Lugosi. But whether literature, stage play, or film,
the historical monster from folklore and myth has been twisted and
redefined from the original legends. Sometimes for the better and
sometimes for the worse, vampires have grown and expanded by becoming
many subgenres all under the name of the vampire.
Dark Discussions is joined by a very special guest, publisher, historian, and author Inanna Arthen of By Light Unseen Media
, to discuss the truth of what a vampire really is. Many questions
and confusions are answered including whether the vampire was specific
to one culture and/or religion or enlarged by biased single minded
historians to include monsters from other cultures that have little
traits of the vampire. Such topics as sunlight, garlic, religion, and
the rural superstitious mind of the Eastern European peasant are
discussed in great detail by Ms. Arthen and how the mythos of the
vampire evolved to include the more famous modern tropes as well as
those that have been forgotten or modified.
