Nina Zumel - I blog about folklore and weird fiction. And on reading, writing, or anything else that I feel like.

Chamber of Horrors (1966) features the House of Wax set from Vincent Price's 1953 movie, and an over-the-top, Price-like performance from Patrick O'Neal as a ripper-like mass murderer in 19th century Baltimore. It's fun! #film #HorrorMovies

Part II of "Before Kolchak" : pilots for early, never-made occult detective #TV shows.

Dark Intruder (1965) stars Leslie Nielsen in turn of the 20th century San Francisco. Produced by Alfred Hitchcock's Shamley Productions.

My mini-series on early attempts to put occult detectives on TV: what could have been, before Kolchak.

First entry: The Ghost of Sierra de Cobre (1964), created by Joseph Stefano and starring Martin Landau.

A little travel anecdote that was possibly the inspiration for Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado."

Two versions of a "true" haunting in Lille: one from a person who experienced it, and the other the result of the story being told and retold. Amusing to see the expansion.

Reading a book of "true" #ghoststories, collected over the years by Lord Halifax.

Entertaining read, plus amusing connections to other names one might recognize.

Check out the new VAMPIRES ebook and audiobook from @HorrorBabble !! They were kind enough to include my translation of "Family of the Vourdalak"

My take on Fährmann Maria, an interesting fantasy film from the late German Expressionist period. Worth a watch. https://t.co/5KcPVNElR9

Just putting that out in to the universe....

I haven't been following Nu-Trek, but I did see the first few episodes of Strange New Worlds, and I liked it. It felt very much in the spirit of The Original Series, to me. The Ghosts of Illyria, in particular, captured the horror vibe that was present in TOS.

[MultoGhost @MultoGhost]

So maybe I'll get my wish: Mario Bava's Planet of the Vampires, done as TOSish era Star Trek. Except Pike wins, of course. https://t.co/ZYLOB7qjFp

Advantage: it would *feel* like a TOS episode remake, w/o actually *being* a TOS episode remake...

I just read a wonderful collection of #ghoststories by Miyuke Miyabe. https://t.co/ufj4D6VIA5 #reading

This past week in 1841, Edgar Allan Poe published "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," and for whodunit lovers, the rest is history. To commemorate, here's a lesser known Poe crime tale. It's not a whodunit, but it's fun all the same! https://t.co/lWmDzIK5N4 #ClassicCrime #mystery
