To all the Children of the Night: This podcast was designed to be a monologue on horror movie iconography. Each Wednesday, I will release a new episode analyzing my favorite motion pictures while drinking. I strongly recommend that you watch the movies before listening to Deadly Theremin. Also, pour yourself a drink, and prepare to embrace the darkness with me. We'll cover soundtrack, curious facts, philosophy, history, art, and spoilers. Lots of spoilers.You have been warned. Enjoy. Or not. Whatever.
You can watch the full documentary on YouTube here. It is a short story of a real life werewolf told by the inhabitants of this small village in Romenia. Gratian receives food and clothing from the villagers, so that when he turns into a werewolf, he doesn't go after people's sheep.
Much beyond the subject in question itself, this episode draws attention to documentary film as a genre, and how the director Thomas Ciulei proposes a non-colonial gaze to oral history, and non-scientific methods for documenting the life of people.

The Cursed (2021)
Released in the Sundance Film Festival in the cursed year of 2020 as Eight for Silver, The Cursed is a 19th-century victorian gothic folk horror featuring a familiar monster as an allegory for dwelling identities within the same body: the civilized human and the bestial monster. Desaturated color pallettes and muted, modest garments set the tone for foggy gray skies by day, and nightmares inhabited by human scarecrows and silver fangs by night. Directed by Sean Ellis, The Cursed is a suprisingly slow-burn lycanthrope film supernaturally reprimanding white colonialism, extending the legacy of violence to a whole lineage within this small oligarchic society.

Carnival of Souls (1962)
A car crash and a new beginning. Carnival of Souls depicts the solitude of provincial living in the southwest United States in the 1960s from the perspective of a woman who also works as a church organ player. Despite her efforts to live a normal life, she is haunted by a ghostly presence that leads her into learning wild secrets about her own existence. This is my season finale, an incredibly interesting series of plot twist coming from many levels fading in and out in style between scenes. The episode contains huge spoilers so I recommend you watch it first. R.I.P.
