It’s a Christmas miracle! Or, should we say, a Christmas NIGHTMARE? On today’s special episode of Film Is Lit, we cover Robert Eggers’s new adaptation of F. W. Murnau’s 1922 silent film...which itself was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s legendary gothic horror novel, “Dracula” (*wolf howls in the distance*). The first half of the episode features a non-spoiler review of the film, a first for the pod, and then at the 40-minute mark, we indulge in our favorite activity—spoiling the HELL out of everything! We hope you came hungry for a stimulating discussion, because Count Orlok is “quite the appetite.”

Spooky season is still lingering around Film Is Lit! Join us for another non-fiction, true-crime installation: Daddy Fincher’s 2007 interpretation of Robert Graysmith’s sprawling investigation, “Zodiac” (1986). Have you encountered a more disturbing story? Is it still unsolved, or have Danny and Laura seen enough evidence to be convinced that the murderer has been identified?

On October 31st, 2000, six year-old Danny (your trusty co-host) went as Frankenstein’s monster for Halloween (shoutout to Mama G for constructing the costume!). 24 years later, he put the makeup back on and reapplied the milk-cartoon head (this time it was a full gallon instead of a half 😂). Listen to our podcast episode in which we compare Mary Shelley‘s book to the iconic movie. Link in our bio!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! Film Is Lit is wrapping up our series on Vampires (for now!). In our oldest dual coverage yet, we’re diving into Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” and F. W. Murnau’s recovered (and plagiarized) 1922 film, “Nosferatu.” This Vampire series has allowed us to look back at how much 100 years of cinema has given us. Join us to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve with a NOSFERATU!

A Stephen King vampire story that takes place in Maine? SIGN US UP, AYUH! Today on the pod, we're covering King’s classic novel (and one of his first!), "'Salem's Lot," and its long-delayed film adaptation of the same name. The film was dumped on streaming, but Laura and Danny got the opportunity to see it early in theaters. Ain’t nuttin better than watching a Halloween romp with a packed audience, ayuh!

Heads are gunna ROLL…on this special crossover episode of Film Is Lit! The folks at The Revisitors podcast collaborated with us to watch and analyze Tim Burton ’s spooky season classic, “Sleepy Hollow," which is loosely based on Washington Irving's short story of the same name. The Revisitors is a podcast where movie buffs Frank and Diego revisit the beloved films of childhood to determine whether these "classics" are truly worthy of our affection or if our minds have been clouded by nostalgia. How does “Sleepy Hollow” hold up 25 years after its release? Will we lose our minds over it (😏) like we did as kids, or has growing up tainted the fun? Listen to find out…that is, if you’re brave enough...🎃

Beware the Beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn...but not us, we're cool, you can trust us 😎 On today's VERY special episode of Film Is Lit, we welcome back Danny's longtime friend and Ape franchise expert, Michael Sciortino, to talk about the sci-fi classic, "Planet of the Apes." Does Pierre Boulle's book have the same iconic ending as the movie? And how many times will Danny mention that he and Laura got married in the exact location where the movie was filmed? Listen to find out the answer to these questions, and much, MUCH more!

It's the sequel, so you gotta raise the stakes. On this episode of Film Is Lit, we discuss The Hunger Games: ALL STARS!
