Celebrate Independence Day with Reverend Lowe!

Nothing says, "I love 'Murca!" than shooting fireworks into the maw of a werewolf.

The above is amazing fan art by LeGrande 62. 

Check out our episode on Cycle of the Werewolf and Silver Bullet!

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.)

John List Scares Us!

Tonight's episode, featuring family annihilator John List, was also the last we recorded before Katya left Missoula to pursue her PhD.  But fear not, apricot:  we recorded another episode last night, and you'll be privy to it soon!

Your fearless hosts; note Katya in her fuchsia peignoir!  

Ryan and I are so obsessed with Race Chaser podcast that we mention it in our next episode as well!

If you're looking to pick up a copy of the book we gifted Katya with for her going away present,
Golden Girls Forever: An Unauthorized Look Behind the Lanai look no further than your friendly neighborhood This Place Scares Us blog.

Katya challenged me to name my favorite episode, and it has to be Episode 5, Cycle of the Werewolf!

The first appearance of Catwoman ... yes, Papa will spank.

Obviously it's super easy to leap around from roof top to roof top in a purple evening gown, green tablecloth, and high heels.

Catwoman's evolution.  I'm going to begin every conversation starting tomorrow with "Meow do you do?"

The new Catwoman costume, complete with breathing room for your arm pits.

Pu Pu!

Smoke over the city at The Keep, where we enjoyed Katya's farewell dinner.

We record on top of my Tales from the Crypt books.  And Katya's peignoir continues to be fabulous.

Ryan designed this creepy graphic of John List combined with a skull.  Very effective.

The Stepfather, complete, if you care to watch it.

Falling Down is the first thing I thought of when I saw John List's photo.

The List family.  Oh, Helen.  Oh, oh.

Lara Parker (refer to our episodes focusing on House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows), starring as Laura in The Glass Menagerie.

The List bust that finally caught the bastard.
