We pause Candide for a quick trip back to Ylourgne!

Just jumping in mid-show: Chad, the story you covered that included the Scholomance by name was *Dracula.*

Incaptivity

Had a feeling all the recommendations for Bloodborne would fall short. It’s a shame that the barrier is so strong, if it was a written story it’d straight up yer alley

As another person with not enough time to “git gud” at Bloodbourne I highly recommend the VaatVidya YouTube channel. He combs through items and places and monsters and coalesces them all into a story that you can actually follow. What I love about the from software games is that their lore is all hinted at and gestured to, rarely outlined clearly, so having someone like Vaat put in the time to pull them together and narrate it really feels like listening to a scholar reconstruct the history of some gods-forsaken land. Give some of his Bloodbourne videos a try, they make for really easy listening.

"Necromancers get the answers" is actually their slogan.

Steve

I want more badlierness!

Devin Morse

I looked up Rawhead and Bloody Bones to learn more, and lo, apparently they (as two separate monsters) also appeared in Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. Mignola's certainly fond of folklore as well as Weird Tales.

Jerome Arnold

Since March is for Draculas, and the weather is quite menacingly frigid, how about covering "The Glamour of the Snow" by Algernon Blackwood? I think it was the first tale of his I ever read.

Corey Wittig

Phantom of the Attic is the best! Jeff and Wayne and the crew are still around. The place has actually upgraded quite a bit. (Still on Craig Street in Oakland, but has hopped buildings a few times. They have a game store across the street in a former location.)

Brian Pitt

CAS's Mars stories really are great! I recommend "The Vaults of Yoh Vombis"

Evan

Scholomance just makes me think of hearthstone now, which totally doesn’t jive with the aesthetics I mentally ascribe the devil.

Artemis

So, this isn't old enough by far to satisfy the request for mind bending space stuff for the show, but John Scalzi's 2009 novella The God Engines would absolutely be worth a read. It hit me with cosmic horror full force when I read it and I still think about it about once a month.

Ben Gilbert

SF suggestion: Black Destroyer by A.E. van Vogt. It is considered by some to be the first story of the “Golden Age”. It was one of the inspirations for ALIEN (van Vogt got a $50000 settlement for it). It was later revised as the first chapter of the novel THE VOYAGE OF THE SPACE BEAGLE, one of the inspirations for STAR TREK.

Mark Saunders

In the immortal words of the great Chris Lackey: “comment show”

Innsmouth Gold

Thanks for the mention! As far as Jacky Chan goes, if you haven't already, check out the work of his classmates Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. A good place to start is Mr Vampire, a rollicking kung-fu vs undead comedy that has immaculate timing and great set pieces! If I may self promote we discussed it on the last Innsmouth Book Club podcast episode https://www.patreon.com/posts/ep-9-mr-vampire-47117120 But this is quite an old film and I think you are right. People talk about Iko Uwais or Tony Jaa but I don't think either has quite the same comedic sensibility as JC. BTW JC did appear with Bruce Lee in Enter the Dragon, in the underground fight scene. I believe he was also a stunt man in Fist of Fury.

Sweatin' to the Great Oldies

If I recall correctly, Quentin Tarantino initially scored Pulp Fiction solely with Four Foxes covers - a subtle play on the Mia Wallace Fox Force Five narrative. I believe it was Neil Diamond who insisted on using his original vocals for "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" feeling that the Four Foxes sound was confusingly substantially identical to his. Pretty sure.

Mark Brett

Thanks for that hard-G "gibbering," Chris! I've always pronounced it that way in my head, thinking it was one of Lovecraft's archaic word choices. I thought the J-sound pronunciation was an entirely different word spelled "jibbering." I wasn't corrected on it until I was in my 40s, so it's nice to know I'm not the only one.

Michael-Paul Schallmo

What a great callback to Tedesco and the pigeon. "I don't even know how that reflects tenacity... But it's as true today as it ever was." - Chad Fifer, The Lurker at the Threshold, Part 3.

Allison Albright

I'm also ready for some good space stuff. Fuck the Earth, so far it's been the source of all our problems.

Joshua Weiss

If you're looking for something Sc-Fi to cover, I would like to suggest Invasion of The Body Snatchers. While it's not set in set in space, the pods are extraterrestrial, so that counts, right? You could even do a bonus episode on the film versions.

Ko-Wahi Kit

I couldn't find a better place to put this, but when it's Werewolf season again in the ol' HPLLP you should both do yourselves a favor and look up the song, "Dog Police" by Dog Police. 80s? Weird dog people? It's practically made for this show.
