The Beautiful Dead

It's the 50th anniversary of the book being published so we're talking about the movie that changed Lena's brain chemistry.

It's sequels month and we're starting off with a big one. They waited 20 years to continue the story. Was it worth the wait?

This was a request and I was happy to revisit it. We did Let The Right One In years ago.... time for the remake!Discord: https://discord.gg/6k784PdV

It started streaming today at midnight so Lena watched it ASAP and brought her thoughts to you!

I did it when the podcast was young but it's time to bring it back to celebrate love as February continues. What are your thoughts on this movie, which many say is one of the greatest vampires ever made.

It's February and love is in the air.... or the crypt. We're kicking off this month with a movie about Dracula finding his one true love... and also disco.Join my Discord at : https://discord.gg/dUuRqZbT

A 2000s, Canadian vampire police procedural? Ummm, yes please. And, the podcast's favorite game is back!Thank you to Wednesday Girl 1990 for this request.

I'd never seen it when it was requested and had no idea what I was headed into. Is it so bad it's good or just bad? And how can we make this a drinking game?Thank you to Chris Pawlowski for the request.

It's viewers' requests month and we're redoing Near Dark. It was in my first season when I didn't know what I was doing so let's do it some justice!Let me know your requests!

It's a new year and we're starting it off right by reviewing one of the "must see" vampire movies of all time.... and the greatest opening scene in a movie!(audio from the YouTube video)

We're on the 4th one... don't leave me now, we're so close. If you watched me on Hack the Movies, you know how I feel about this one. (audio from YouTube review)

We're on the 3rd movie and we're going back in time to see why vampires and lycans just can't get along. Go to Hack the Movies on YouTube to see me vote on the worst one in the bunch. (audio from the YouTube video)

Let's keep this party going by learning how the vampires and lycans were created and which one is the strongest! Go to "Hack the Movies" on YouTube to see my thoughts on which is the worst. (audio from my YouTube video if you want to see the film clips)

It's your holiday gift..... I'm covering ALL the Underworlds.... because you guys have asked so many times. Go to Hack the Movies on YouTube to see me vote on the worst one. (Audio from YouTube vide)

MISTAKE- in the video I say that Elizabeth was related to the King of Hungary who was an ally to Vlad. I meant to say the voivode of Transylvania Stefan Bathory who was also an ally of Vlad. Please forgive me. They are the mother and father of vampires and they were very real people. Lena does what she loves.... digging into history to talk about vampires. Make sure you're checking out her posts on Instagram from her day at VAMPA!Happy Halloween, vampires!Find Jack's music:  @TheVampireJackTownson ​(audio from the YouTube video until I can get a new mic)

It's viewers' requests month and this one is the first up. Is it the budget or the writing that hurt this one? Lena will let you know.(Audio from YouTube review until I can get a new mic)

It's a viewer request and a new one for Lena. What did she think of this one and does it compare to the other vampire movies of that time?(Audio from the YouTube review until I can get a new mic)

It's a viewer's request and I'm thrilled to do it. What do you think of the ending and Dracula's origin in this one?(Audio from the YouTube review until I can get a new mic)

While I try to get a new mic, I'm going to upload the audio from each of my YouTube episodes so you guys have something to listen to!

Continuing spooky season with a little discussion about demonic possession. Do you think it's real?

Let's mix Lena's love of the paranormal with her love of true crime. These are all actual cases that have a spooky twist.

It's October! That means Lena likes to talk about all things spooky and "real." We're starting the month off with lycanthropes: their history, the best movies and the best vampire/wolf rivalries.

Which one is better? Lena has watched them both and decided which one she will definitely watch again.

Viewers' request month continues and we head back to Hammer Horrors.

It's another viewers' request. This time we have a vampire that feeds in an...... interesting way.

It's August and we're doing viewers' requests. If you haven't checked out my YouTube channel, you should!

We talked about this the first season but it's time to do it right. Over the next 6 weeks, we will talk about each movie and the spin-off! What are your thoughts on this franchise?

It's another installment of the Karnstein vampire drama from the Hammer Horror world!Go check out the two episodes that are YouTube only at The Beautiful Dead Podcast - YouTube

If you already listened to this - sorry! It was replaced with Sinners last week then reuploaded for now to align with the YouTube channel!!! If you haven't heard it.... you're in for a treat.... don't bother watching the movie... it is NOT worth it.

Everyone has been asking... so here it is!! Lena apologizes for her coughing.... she's trying so hard to get better for you all!!

It was the first episode of the podcast. Have my thoughts changed after 5 years?

This is the least romantic Dracula I have ever seen. I am convinced he hated women in this movie. Do you agree?

Might as well round it out and finish the trilogy! Will I enjoy it as much as I did the 2nd one?

I'd never watched it but it is time.......

It was done when I first started the podcast and didn't know what I wanted to do yet. Time to brin git back!

Lena turned this 3-hour movie into a 50-minute review..... you're welcome.
