I did a thing, my lovelies. I participated in an episode of one of my favorite podcasts! I am a loyal patron to From Page to Scream. I highly recommend this podcast for all those who, like me, love horror literature, horror films, and all things macabre! Their deep-dive into Dracula is absolutely delectable!
They now offer patrons the opportunity to choose a horror adaptation to be covered on the show. I was honored to be the first patron to do so! While I would have loved to discuss Dracula with them (and seriously, they did SUCH a kick ass job on it!), being that it had already been covered, I chose my second favorite vampire story: Carmilla. After a brief interview with yours truly (and to my recollection, this was my first interview ever), they discuss the novel and the Hammer Films adaptation The Vampire Lovers. Yes, there was a 2019 film adaptation that followed the source material somewhat more, but it was drab and boring and I am grateful they covered the film from Hammer. It is undoubtedly the more entertaining film!
If you do nothing else for me, please go check out this podcast. You don’t even have to start with my episode; all of their work is darkly delightful, so jump in on any of their public posts! Patron status starts at only $6 a month, and it is definitely worth it. I encourage you all to follow From Page to Scream! And, if you are interested, here is the link to my episode. This is only part one, so if you enjoy this discussion of Carmilla, be sure to tune in when they post the rest of the conversation! I am only in the first 20 or so minutes of part one, but definitely listen to the entire episode. It is so good!
Here is the link to their Patreon page:
This was such an incredibly fun experience! I was nervous, but hopefully that isn’t too apparent during the episode. I am forever grateful to FPTS for this opportunity!
Until next time…
