Nightshade Cult; A Podcast Macabre Exploring the darkest corners of cinema, music, and subculture.

Cultists, let's extend our vampire theme one more episode and catch up with a Dracula adaptation that slipped by your Horror Hosts last year. Luc Besson's Dracula: A Love Tale, is more of an adaptation of Coppola's Dracula than it is of Bram Stoker’s Novel but it does have some pretty unique takes on lore as well.

Cultists 2024's Abigail isn't a “Remake” of Dracula’s Daughter. To call it a “Reimagining” would even feel like a stretch. Instead it takes just the core concept of Dracula having a daughter and builds a blood splattered “Monster In The House” action comedy from it. Please join us for the Dissection

Cultists, there's only a handful of female Monsters in the Universal canon, and while The Bride gets most of the attention, Countess Zaleska should not be overlooked. Dracula's Daughter introduced the trope of the reluctant and conflicted vampire to the mythos and was pretty subversive for the Hayes Code era. So to celebrate the film’s 90th anniversary, we're putting it on the Exam Table. Please join us for the dissection

Hard to believe it, Cultists but The Craft is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year! Perfect excuse for your Horror Hosts to finally put the Cult Classic Teen Horror on the Exam Table. Please join us for the Dissection.

Cultists, after the success of Curse Of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula, Universal decided ‘if you can't beat them, join them’ and they entered into a partnership with Hammer Studios. The first film in that collaboration was 1959’s The Mummy. It's not so much a remake as it is a Greatest Hits of plot elements from across the Mummy franchise. Please join us for the Dissection

Cultists, eager to keep their hit streak going, Universal released The Mummy in 1932. Bringing back Frankenstein star Boris Karloff, and with Dracula cinematographer Karl Freund in the director's chair. The film capitalized on an Egyptian craze in the era, and spawned one of horror’s most enduring franchises. So before the next iteration is released from its Tomb, let's put the original on the Exam Table.

03/15/2026

Cultists, we've been inspired by the release of The Bride! this month to put Frank Roddam's film of the same name on the Exam Table. Taking 1935’s Bride Of Frankenstein as a jumping off point and bringing back several actors from Roddam's Cult Classic, Quadrophenia. The film reimagines The Monster and The Bride as star crossed lovers to mixed results. Please join us for the Dissection.


03/01/2026

Cultists, it's only been a couple of months but your Horror Hosts are heading back to Castle Frankenstein. In the late 1950’s Horror had largely moved away from Gothic period pieces and on to Alien Invaders and Atomic Monsters. Terence Fisher's The Curse Of Frankenstein brought the Gothic back, this time in glorious Eastman Color.


02/15/2026

Cultists, there's a handful of remakes that eclipse the original in the public consciousness. Phillip Kaufman's Invasion Of The Body Snatchers is certainly one of those. Kaufman moved the setting into the urban heart of San Francisco and gave the Cult Classic the vibe of a 1970s paranoid thriller. Giving us some of the most iconic images of 1970s genre cinema.

Cultists! Cold Iron Blood is a new Gothic Horror Revenge Western novel, written by me, David Graves, one of your Horror Hosts. The novel is being released as a web serial, with 2 chapters availble per week, absolultely free. Find the link in the comments, and check out the summary here:

California, 1876.

Captain Silas Hatcher survived four years of war. He rode west to find his brother and leave the killing behind.

He found Micah dying in a monster's jaws.

Now, Silas is one of them. A vampire, cursed with an unrelenting Thirst and a predatory Instinct that whispers from the shadows of his mind. The sun that once warmed him would burn him to ash. The discipline that kept him alive through Sherman's March is all that stands between the man he was and the monster he's becoming.

But discipline can be a weapon too.

Armed with cavalry steel, silver bullets, and the Cold Iron will that carried him through hell, Silas begins a bloody campaign against the ancient vampire who murdered his brother. He'll need allies: a fugitive scientist with forbidden knowledge, a deputy who won't stop hunting him, and a broken young man with nothing left to lose.

Vane rules Cinder Creek from the shadows. His power is centuries deep. His connections reach from San Francisco to the Old World.

Silas has two weeks of unlife and a revolver.

It'll have to be enough.
