THE BLOODY LIFE OF R.M RENFIELD - out now

The Bloody Life of R. M Renfield By Marty Ross

Some #horror filled cinema for your ears

With Harry Myers And Sarah Whitehouse

Delivering astounding performances of this wonderful dark and gruesome script - the origins of Renfield’s servitude

Available on our feed and your favourite podcatchers

If there’s one character in Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula as fascinating as the arch vampire himself, it’s R.M. Renfield the zoophagous patient in Dr. Seward’s mental hospital, who has fallen under the vampire’s spell. But Stoker provides no explanation of how Renfield came to be imprisoned, nor of the origins of his strange relationship with his Master.

Marty Ross’s audio drama imagines a whole back story for the character – the story of a tragically ordinary Victorian shopkeeper, stuck looking after ageing parents and prone to a furtive fascination with blood.

Desperate for relief, he goes for a holiday in Whitby, on the Yorkshire Coast, where he experiences premonitions of a vast supernatural power approaching across the sea, a force that will bring meaning to his life, but only of the most terrible sort.

TRIGGER WARNINGS

Blood, violence and father to son domestic abuse , reference to marital domestic abuse, murder, drowning, coarse language, sexual reference, depiction of dementia, factory accident, cut throat razor, close shaving, death, depiction of insanity.

Writer, Marty Ross has written several gothic dramas for Wireless Theatre, from Blood And Stone to The Woman On The Bridge and Night Of The Orchid.

Here, working again with two of Britain’s foremost audio actors, Harry Myers and Sarah Whitehouse, Ross combines the darkest of dark humour with the most poignant, devastating tragedy, in a production that takes listeners, immersively, inside a very troubled and dangerous mind….

Can any world survive a benevolent god?

@foggyoutline presents:

Cover art by Dionysis Livanis

Produced by @wirelesstheatre

In this original audio drama podcast, each episode is a prayer, some prayers are answered, and a prayer granted can upend the world.

For fans of

Each episode of I Need A Miracle is a short monologue. A new character every episode. Never the same character twice. Always addressing a plea to a listening deity – which never makes a sound.

Play god

You, the listener, stand in for a silently listening god. Hear brazen demands for divine intervention and vulnerable, secret pleas for deliverance. Whose requests would you grant and why? Does anyone deserve a miracle?

Play detective

Which pleas are granted? How does the listening being decide? What are the Upheavals that regularly wrack this world? What threatens to rise from the Depths? And can any being with ultimate power truly be benevolent?

Play the heartstrings

I Need A Miracle is all about the many kinds of wanting, and the many ways of asking for help. How would you make your case to an omnipotent being who grants some miracles but not others, based on ineffable criteria?

Coming August 2024

Thinking about that line in the new twisters movie: “you don’t face your fears, you ride them”

And as a horror/slasher fan that is just a sentiment I can really get behind-

My favorite film directed and performed by Charles Chaplin - "City Lights" (1931)

"Wandering the city streets, the Little Tramp happens upon a blind flower girl who mistakes him for a rich man. The Tramp later saves a drunken millionaire who is attempting to drown himself in the river. The millionaire becomes his best friend. That is, until he sobers up and no longer recognizes the Tramp… In City Lights, friendship and social ranking are not always as they seem. We enter a world of a disenchanted bourgeoisie, where a tramp is king and a blind girl, queen." (X)

Cast: Charlie Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Florence Lee, Harry Myers, Hank Mann, Eddie Baker, Allan Garcia, Henry Bergman, Albert Austin, Joe Van Metter, Robert Parrish, Charlie Hammond, Tiny Ward, Mrs. Hyams, Harry Ayers, Florence Wicks, Jean Harlow...

/The full cast of the film is 59 actors and extras./

Production :United Artists

This film was Charlie Chaplin's most labor-intensive film - it took him almost four years to shoot, from December 31, 1927 to January 22, 1931. However, the shooting itself took only 180 days. The film was shot in Los Angeles and San Francisco (California, USA).

This is Chaplin's first film in the sound era. The director himself faced great pressure to give it full sound - but he managed to leave it silent, apart from the music recorded for it. At that time, all films were made with dialogue.
