The Priestess of Blood Scares Us!

Lost!  Found!  The De-Losting!  Welcome to our lost episode!

I collect the various editions of the books I love, as we've mentioned; the Puffin Classics edition of Dracula, terrifying -- looks at those teeth; ALL HIS TEETH ARE FANGS FOR CHRISSAKES -- was my first.

And one of my first editions of The Wizard of Oz . This is actually a Disney adaptation that I had on cassette tape; I think I have the little record of it somewhere.

The British 'Salem's Lot ... with movie pictures!

The vampires of 30 Days of Night.

Before we enjoy vampy Josh Hartnett, let's enjoy hottie Josh Hartnett.

Some shirtless Josh Hartnett ...

... and some Penny Dreadful bisexual Josh Hartnett.

Aw, let's face it.  He's a hottie even as a vampire.

Yerba Buena itself.  Where have all the cultists gone?

Viracocha, the Incan creator god.

Will the real Magdalena Solis stand up?  And please stop killing people?

All hail Coatlicue!

The Monster in My Pocket Gang!

Vampire ...

Witch ...

Springheel Jack ...

And Coatlicue herself!

I owned both of the above comics when I was a kid.  I wonder where they went?

Countess Erzabet Bathory, the so-called Countess of Blood.  I don't know why I'd be so upset to learn that she was set-up by powerful and power-hungry dudes.  I guess I want to believe that she's an inhuman demon capable of murdering 550 girls because otherwise she loses her power ...?

Ingrid Pitt as Bathory in Hammer's Countess Dracula.

And Pitt's Bathory as she's lost face ... and everything else.

BLOOD SACRIFICE!!!

Was the Reverend Lowe of King's Cycle of the Werewolf a serial killer?  What do you think?

Barnabas Collins, killing people with his fangs.

And strangling the hell out of people, many of them women. That makes me feel kinda gross.

Movies floating around the zeitgeist at the time that Magdalena did her damn thang:

NOT Magdalena!  This is Dagmar Overbye!!!  BEWARE, BEWARE!  (Although she's probably not living next door to you; Magdalena very well may be.)

Night of Dark Shadows: Katya and Laramie Are Famous!

Well, kinda.

Danny Horn over at Dark Shadows Every Day featured clips from our Night of Dark Shadows episode --- head over here and check it out!

The Horror Hotel in the City of the Dead Scares Us

We started this episode talking about the 2018 revival of Mart Crowley's The Boys in the Band ...

...featuring the hot hot hottie Matt Bomer.  Enjoy him for a moment before the true horror begins.  I'll wait.

Okay, we're back.

Everybody buy my play!  Click here to purchase Frankenstein Among the Dead.

Christina Heagney as Morgan LeFay and Zach French as Merlin in my new play, Morgan and Merlin, currently touring around the state of Montana.

Morgana gets real; Merlin crawls out of a tree that totally does not contain vaginal imagery.

Here's a link to Horror Hotel ... watch it before you continue!

Our old friend Jack Davis, the illustrator famously known for helping the evolution of EC Comic's The Crypt Keeper for Tales from the Crypt (check out our episode on TFTC by clicking here), did a ridiculously rad poster for Horror Hotel -- "doom service" ... tee hee.

That looks like Peter Cushing to me.  Fail.

The video cover of Horror Hotel that I purchased at that long ago Sam Goody's in the Missoula Southgate Mall.

Patricia Jessel as Elizabeth Selwyn, that beautiful bitch.

Christopher Lee as Alan Driscoll, seducing Venetia Bradley's Nan Barlow with a creepy little town in New England.

And Christopher Lee baring his fangs in his first foray as Count Dracula in The Horror of Dracula.

This gorgeous landscape of the horrors that dwell within the mind of H.P. Lovecraft was separated into individual paperback covers from Del Rey in the 80s and 90s.  Whitewood might as well have been Dunwich.

13 o'clock, from the 1980s series Friday the 13th: The Series that had nothing to do with Jason Voorhees and all to do with cursed antiques. 

Witches, easily disposed.

The big reveal of Elizabeth Selwyn's demise at the end of Horror Hotel ...

...and a similar moment in Hitchcock's Psycho.

Angelique/Cassandra from Dark Shadows with her brother/fellow warlock Nicholas Blair ...

... and their counterparts in Horror Hotel:  Jethro Keene and Elizabeth Selwyn/Mrs. Newlys.

And finally ... THE CRONES OF WHITEWOOD!  May they haunt your dreams.
