TKDF Vampires (#114)

Source file here. Originally broadcast on June 25th, 1998.

Ah, vampires. They get a lot of attention, as ghouls go. Why did we never do a show about yeti or Frankenstein's monster? They don't generate the raw material in media that vampires do. Also, zombies.

Among the movies heard here are the dryly humorous Nadja, Tony Scott's chilly The Hunger, Polanski's goofball Fearless Vampire Killers, Abel Ferrara's academic and brutal The Addiction, and the ones everyone knows. The dialogue heavy movies like Nadja and The Addiction make the show somewhat philosophical and Nietzschean, while others variably add creepy dread, campy horror, and short spurts of bloody gore—or at least the sounds of it. All in all, a rather verbose, thinking-vampire's production.

13. Why all these people dead?

They're Here (#80) Halloween #1

Source here. Originally recorded on October 30th, 1997.

I suppose I could spin a yarn about trying to wait until Halloween and simply NOT HAVING THE PATIENCE, but in reality I've been a little slack. I'll place the blame squarely where it belongs: the awesome weather.

This is one of the first Halloween shows I did with TKDF, and I think it's in fact one of the first ones recorded, if not the FIRST ACTUAL HALLOWEEN SHOW EVER. There's plenty of spooky fun to be had here, so download and play in the background when the little ones come to visit and ensure you always have a wealth of candy leftover forever and ever again.

1. Someone's at the door
2. Cackling and moaning
3. A Dismemberment Plan
4. That Piano Music
5. INFERNAL MACHINES
6. There's something about an 80's horror movie analog synthesizer
7. Singing around the campfire, hopefully
   
8. Vincent Price grooving with the pict's small furry animals
9. In the bowels of the gypsy calliope
   
10. The chanting the chanting the chanting the chanting
11. GET OUT
12. I can hear the traffic just above the sewer grate
13. Love theme from Halloween #1

Monsters v. Everyone (#19)

Original source here. Recorded on September 28th, 1996.

More logistical notes. I finally managed to get the uploading to the Internet Archive working again, and the buffer between what's available and what's been posted is once again on the increase. The feeling of well-being the creates is indescribable except to those similarly afflicted.

The afflictions available in this show are numerous and varied. Monsters v. Everyone stretches the description of "monster" (and, in fact, "everyone" as well) to give you a creeping dread not normally found outside of October. Plenty of chewy backwards masking and airy atmospherics.

1. Trapped in Snow
2. Gasp
3. Bat Power Dive
4. Bell Haven
5. Marco Polo
6. Speaking in Tongues
7. Mammal Attack
8. Sing us a song, you're the Piano Monster
9. Chinese Water Tenure
10. Deep Inside the Haunted Ship
11. Aviary
12. Example 22
13. Bell Haven (reprise)
