(43.3 MB; 1:34:37 MIN)


When Doctor Despicable goes shopping for lab coats, he usually drags me along.  This time, he manages to take the store out while he's at it.  While we try to escape uneaten by the local plant life, you get to listen to episodes of Sleep No More and the Vanishing Point, as well as an excerpt from William Castle's Halloween novelty album and a brand spanking new Flights Of Fright..  Taliesin fills us in on the plant life used to incapacitate a bloodsucker, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires

What some corpses go through for good teeth!  When Dr. Luna poses as a dentist to perform terrible experiments on my teeth, Doc faces his nemesis again in hopes that he can screw up my teeth instead.  You, however, get to listen to two creepy tales of dental horror - an episode of Nightfall and an episode of the phenomenal Fear On Four, as well as punk tunes about good dental hygene by Amy Jo Doty and Crucial Youth.  Taliesin discusses fangs and gets fanmail, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires

EPISODE 0.032: FLIGHT INTO FREAKINESS

Episode 0.032: Flight Into Freakiness
(46.7 MB; 1:42:02 MIN)


Doc, in an attempt to make an unpleasant flight aboard Dairy Airlines flight 187, installs an experimental warp engine on the plane that causes it to rip through the fabric of space and time into an alternate universe where the plane is attacked by space snot.  No, seriously.  You think that's bad, wait until it crawls up your nose!  During our horrific flight, you'll listen to episodes of Crisis, Lights Out and Theater 5 dealing with freaky flights, as well as a freaky song about a freaky flight and the trailers for Airport and Survive.  This episode features a ZA1 Beneath The Music with Jonathan Coulton (the full version of the interview is available here).  Taliesin discusses flying and bloodsucking, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires

EPISODE 0.031: MOTHER KNOWS BEAST

Episode 0.031: Mother Knows Beast
(43.5 MB; 1:35:08 MIN)


It's Mothers' Day, and I'm being forced to spend it in darkest Slumgullia, where Despicable Manor is.  Weirdness abounds as Doc tries to locate Mother Despicable (despite Mrs. Harridan's attempts to thwart him), mostly by leaving me to fend off the love-starved Miss Harply, Mother Despicable's hired help, and to get squished by Mrs. Harridan's illegitimate behemoth son, Peasley.  In the meantime, you'll get to listen to episodes of Suspense, Crisis and The Mysterious Traveler dealing with creepy old ladies.  Taliesin discusses the maternal role in vampire cinema, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires

EPISODE 0.030: VENGEANCE BEYOND THE GRAVE

Episode 0.030: Vengeance Beyond The Grave
(39.6 MB; 1:26:30 MIN)


Bernie's Video Rental has a horror rarity I've been looking for, but when I get the wrong movie everybody assumes because I'm dead I've returned from the grave to seek vengeance.  The nerve!  While I try in vain to convince everybody I just want to get my movie and go home, you get to listen to tales of real vengeance beyond the grave.  Checkout these tales from The Inner Sanctum, Lights Out and The Strange Dr. Weird.  Also check out the first in a sporadic series of interviews with sci-fi and horror musicians as I interview Pete Kellers of No They Do.  Taliesin talks about vampiric vengeance, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires

EPISODE 0.029: HIM, ROBOT

Episode 0.029: Him, Robot
(45.7 MB; 1:40:01 MIN)


Robots drive me crazy!  All I wanted to do was order a pizza and what happens?  A robot goes crazy and tries to kill me.  To top that off, killer robots from the future travel to the past to save me or kill me, depending on which one you're talking about.  While I attempt to avoid being invalidated, we listen to killer robot tales from Theater 5, Dimension X and 2000 Plus, as well as listening to robot songs from Bent Bolt & The Nuts and No They Do.  Taliesin talks about vampirism and robots and what crappy movies they make, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.  Doctor Despicable isn't in this one.  Nope.  Wasn't invited.

Episode 0.028: Keep Your Nose To The Tombstone
(49.4 MB; 1:48:06 MIN)


I've been so busy lately I have to do this podcast from work.  Strangely enough, it's a work-themed podcast as well!  As I face off with a VP and her Five Deadly Admins, as well as the creepy Cake Cult who keep trying to make me eat cake at work, you get to listen to three tales involving killing your employer - listen to The Diary Of Fate, The Clock and Nightfall.  Taliesin talks about vampirism in the workplace, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.  Doctor Despicable eats a whole pie for lunch.

Episode 0.027: Cars For Alarm
(41.9 MB; 1:31:32 MIN)


Who knew vehicular homicide was that bad?  I have to attend a driving school for people who habitually commit vehicular homicide while you get to listen to vehicular homicide-themed OTR.  Check out The Creaking Door episode "Death On The Road", Theater 5's "Hit And Run" and the Inner Sanctum tale "You Could Die Laughing", as well as an excerpt from the driving safety video "Tomorrow's Drivers", narrated by Jimmy Stewart.  Rock out to The Munsters "Frankenstein Had A Hot Rod Car" and The Ghouls "Little Old Lady From Transylvania" while you run over people in your own neighborhood.  Taliesin dishes up a Zombina and the Skeletones tune while giving you information on the upcoming Mis-fest, then gives us a Taliesin's Top 3 discussing how vehicles play a part in the vampire genre, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.

Episode 0.026: Transylvania 2 - Electric Boogaloo
(45 MB; 1:38:27 MIN)


Though well-meaning, Dr. Von Martinez whacks Taliesin and I in the head, stuffs us in the trunk and drives to Transylvania - Transylvania, Louisiana, that is.  We don't find vampires, but we do find trouble, thanks again to Dr. Von Martinez.  The podcast itself, however, is stuffed like a bloodsucking tick with vampire-related audio.  Listen to Inner Sanctum's "Undead", Wade Denning's "A Trip To Transylvania", The Witch's Tale episode "Graveyard Mansion", Nightfall's "Carmilla" and a handful of vamire film trailers.  Taliesin tells us everything you ever wanted to know about "Carmilla" but were afraid to ask whilst I get the holy heck beaten out of me, courtesy of Taliesin Meets The Vampires.
