Don’t Read The Latin! Episode 92: Screamplays Based On Books!
With a punny title like that, I feel like the opening here should be, “Hello, kiddies, welcome to another episode of Tales From The Crypt Don’t Read The Latin!”
This time, Jennifer Lovely and Rhias Hall are joined by Jillian Venters of Gothic Charm School to talk about their favorite books turned into movies. Spoiler: A fair number of them are vampire ones for some reason *cough*Jillian*cough*
And check out Rhias’ and Jillian’s podcast The Night Library for more book-related content!
(Note: the pun in the title wasn’t me, for once. It was Rhias.)

DRtL Episode 25: Hail to the King!
Hail to the King — namely, Stephen King, that household name of horror, the Maine Man himself! As any horror fan will tell you, Stephen King has had more than his fair share of movie adaptations, not all of them good. Well — maybe, most of them really not that good. But! We persevered here at DRtL, and dove right into our retrospective. We mostly remembered King’s films as being fairly light, fun, popcorn movies — but join us as we realize how wrong we were, and just how many of the genuinely horrifying aspects of human nature are lurking under the surface of King’s work, like a clown in a sewer.
Not to say we didn’t have fun with the topic. See for yourself. Or, I guess, hear for yourself!

DrTL Episode 23: Werewolves!
Welcome back, and thanks for listening to one whole year of Don’t Read the Latin! It seems like only yesterday that Episode One was lovingly streamed straight to your trembling ears, but it was way back on May 9th, 2014. So we’re celebrating our podcast-iversary! Join us! Have some cake and ice cream!
Ooookay, maybe — maybe just some ice cream.
Anyway! Yes! A new episode! We have one for you, and it didn’t take a whole month this time! We are joined once again by Jeff Harris from Fanboy News Network, who practically insisted on coming along for the recording when he found out we were talking about werewolves, which turned out to be a good thing as Michael and Jennifer ended up realizing that, on the whole, they, uhhh, they don’t really like werewolf movies that much. So, yeah.
But we still manage to have a good time with the subject, and Jennifer talks about rewatching The Walking Dead and about common werewolf tropes in urban fantasy, Michael tells us about a unique stage adaptation of Dr. Jekkyl and Mr. Hyde, Michael and Jeff talk about the history of werewolves in Marvel comics, and we wonder why more werewolf movies don’t deal with pack dynamics.
In short, it’s another fun episode, so press play above! Or download it. I mean, whatever you wanna do here. Knock yourself out.

Episode Ten: It Happened On Halloween!
“Welcome to DRTL, the podcast that is not about Beastmaster.”
It’s October! It’s October! That means that this whole next month is, effectively, Halloween. We got a little excited.
This time, we’re talking about movies that take place on or around Halloween. (Yes, including the original Halloween.) How many of them do you think you can watch this month?
Finally here’s a …. a …. Call it a “bonus video.” (It will make sense once you listen to the episode, honestly.)
