Definitely Mr Vampire. We lived near a Blockbuster when I was a student and every Saturday would rent videos from there after playing games all day long. That's when I discovered Mr Vampire and it was AWESOME!

The mention of vampire comics reminded me of an absolutely bonkers Marvel team-up between Dracula & Nick Fury (before he was Samuel L. Jackson, back when he was still David Hasselhoff). It was set during WWII, and Dracula needed help rescuing his Gypsy servants from the Nazis. Apparently, the swastika counted as a religious symbol, so he wasn't able to enter their fortifications. Better a literal bloodsucking monster than a Nazi, so Nick Fury agrees to help.

Mr. Vampire (1985) is fantastic and a personal favorite. It may actually be easier for Chris to track it down than Chad since it's out on blu-ray from Eureka Entertainment in the UK, but is only available as an OOP DVD in the US (I admittedly have both). Worth pointing out that Mr. Vampire is loosely based on the story “Living Dead” from Pu Songling's Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. Also if you're interested in an excellent remake/sequel to Mr. Vampire, check out the 2013 Hong Kong-Japan co-production Rigor Mortis. And speaking of Japan, an alternative to you guys having to re-read all of Tomb of Dracula is to watch the 1980 anime movie Dracula: Sovereign Of The Damned, which is an adaptation of the Marvel series. That film is easily found online.

It's a Ghost.

In Swedish, the letter ä is pronounced similar to the short e sound in English, so Häxan should be pronounced more like Hexan than Haxan. And this makes sense because the word Häxan is related to the German word for witch, which is hexe . . . which is also where the English word hex comes from.

Thanks for explaining that Dave Gahan story - it was perfect. I love that it was that newly sober period because Dave Gahan on mtv news after near OD or whatever is stuck in my mind forever. Good for you, Dave!

Eh, deceiving assholes when truly necessary is a survival skill; and it’s not the worst vice in the world to take a little delight in excelling at our skillful execution of our survival skills.

Okay, a fun fact about witch trails: King James VI of Scotland was burning ing a bunch of accused witches in Scotland during the 1580s, so some bloke named Reginald Scott wrote a book called "The Discoverie of Witchcraft (1584)" in which he described a bunch of magic tricks that some of the accused witches may have been doing. And when King James VI acquired the English crown a few years later (and becoming King James I of Egland, making him King James VI & I), he promptly proceeded to burn as many copies of "The Diacoverie of Witchcraft" as he could. Also, this book is often considered to be the first book on magic tricks

The month you guys finally devote to Shirley Jackson, and I was away! Though it was an absolute treat listening to you cover these three of her short tales. You guys brought up some great insights! The depth of anxieties, changing perceptions, and lack of observation and introspection by characters are true hallmarks of her writing. All were on display here. There are other gems in the collection you all mention, including 'The Man in the Woods' and 'Paranoia'. If you can find a copy of her story 'Charles' I'd put that toward the top of the list. And I look forward to hearing when you cover Haunting of Hill House...
