THE GHOSTS OF AUGUST

The Ghosts of August

We had such summer times here,

Laughing in the hall's hey day,

A season of endless cheer,

But now only shadows play

Too much, too long, wines turned sour,

The blue skies faded to grey.

But the place still has power,

And now only shadows play

Trapped by secrets, guilt and gloom,

Cant ever leave, doomed to stay,

Locked in echoes of lost rooms,

Now only our shadows play…

COMMENTARY CLUB 130 - Jurassic Park

"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should"

 In tribute to the late great Sam Neill, we revisit the original Jurassic Park, the first dinosaur theme park with live exhibits and watch it all go wrong... There were raptors in the kitchen Phil... In the goddamn kitchen!

In the Shadows of the Lane

Do not tarry in the lane,

After sunset stains the sky,

When dead branches weave and writhe

As daylight finally dies

Do not tarry in the lane,

It’s not safe there after dark,

Rumours tell of grasping hands,

And something with skin like bark

Do not tarry in the lane,

When shadows spider the stones,

For stray moonlight might unveil

A thin horror, pale as bones.

Passing an Old House by Moonlight

That old house is still empty,

Though once it was bright with life,

But darkness calls it home now,

Since the master killed his wife.

‘Twas just evil said the judge, 

And so he hung ten years back,

But they say there's blood stains still,

Spattered on walls red and black.

Did something pass that window?

Surely a trick of the light...

And not a hanged man's corpse

Seeking blood to sup tonight…

HYNOGORIA 312 - One Season Wonders Part V

In this episode we look at two beloved series that very nearly ended up in the Legion of One Season Wonders. First we uncover the story of the Wonder Woman TV series starring Lynda Carter, which was actually cancelled but picked up for further seasons by a more far sighted network. And then we attempted untangle the confusing history of the original Battlestar Galactica - was it really a TV series, or several movies, or two TV series?!? Plus we have a bonus step-side to Buck Rogers in the 25th Century which also nearly ended up cancelled.

The Haunted House

Deserted long ago,

But everyone knows why,

It's left to rot beneath

A lonely haunted sky.

No pathway leads to it,

For none risk being seen

By the creeping figures

With faces dead and green
