Hypnogoria 216 - Nightmares of Nosferatu Part IX - The Apocryphal Orlock


In the final chapter of Nightmares of Nosferatu we examine the influence of Orlock on Salem's Lot, the semi-sequel to Herzog's remake Vampire in Venice (1988) starring Klaus Kinski, and finally look at Shadow of The Vampire (2000) a movie that poses the question - what if Max Schreck was actually one of the undead?

Inktober 2018 - Week 3


Day 15 - "Weak" -  a quick and silly one today... Hey, it was a Monday and we all need a chuckle on Monday morning, right, gang?




Day 16 - "Angular" - This reminded me of the classic weird tale The Hounds of Tindalos by Frank Belknap Long

"They are beyond good and evil as we know it. They are that which in the beginning fell away from cleanliness. Through the deed they became bodies of death, receptacles of all foulness. But they are not evil in our sense because in the spheres through which they move there is no thought, no morals, no right or wrong as we understand it. There is merely the pure and the foul. The foul expresses itself through angles..."

You can hear my reading of it here


Day 17 - "Swollen" - This prompt made me thing of another Mythos entity, Tsathoggua, created by Clark Ashton Smith. This sketch is from a Hyperborean statue carved by Smith himself of the fat, sleepy bat-toad god.



Day 18 - "Bottle" -  Fancy a djinn and tonic?



Day 19 - "Scorched" - At this time of year, I couldn't help thinking of the fate of many a guy...


Day 20 - "Breakable" - This put me in mind of breaking curses, which in turn leads me to Casting the Runes by MR James...



Day 21 - "Drain" -  Well, in an attempt to avoid doing the inevitable Pennywise picture, I considered "drain" as a verb, which led me to vampires, and therefore provided the perfect excuse to draw Ingrid Pitt...

INKTOBER WEEK #3


Day 16  - "Uninvited Guests" - another homage to old school RPG art



Day 17 - Crooked House with Mark Gatiss as the Curator



Day 18 - I think I'm calling this one "Black Goat Kaleidoscope"



Day 19 - Ghastly McNasty, Editor at Large #inktober2017


Day 20 - A regular face at the Great Library of Dreams...


Day 21 - Misty


Day 22 - another piece inspired by MR James
"One thing I did notice in the carving on the well-head, which I think must have escaped you. It was a horrid, grotesque shape — perhaps more like a toad than anything else, and there was a label by it inscribed with the two words, “Depositum custodi” - "Keep that which is committed to thee"...

from The Treasure of Abbot Thomas




Day 23 - The Stain of Vampirism - this piece was very much an exercise in seeing what suggested itself from some random splashes.
