Ominous Origins

The Thunderbird

In this episode of the cast I take a detour away from the idea and origins of the curse and step back into the realm of mythological creatures. Today I look at the Thunderbird, and no, not the car. The Thunderbird has been, and will always be a staple in the Native American culture. Around since the earliest days of history, the Thunderbird has been worshiped and admired by tribes all throughout North America for its brilliance and power over the weather. Sometimes a protector, and other times an enforcer of morality, the Thunderbird is a prominent and imposing force within the Native culture.As always, I'd love to hear from you, and you can contact me at any of the places below.

Resurrection

In this special, and slightly different episode, I'm drawn to the idea of resurrection after the passing of my beloved cat, Shelby. Unfortunately she lost her battle with bone cancer, and so my wife and I decided it was only right to put an end to her suffering. She was a sweet, friendly, and lovable cat who lived a full life of 15 years. So, with that and the recent release of the Pet Sematary remake, I got caught up with the idea of bringing something back to life. I think it's only natural that we want to bring those we've lost back once they've passed, but is it always a good idea? I explore the theme and cultures associated with the idea, as well as give more personal opinion than usual.As always, I'd love to hear from you, and you can contact me at any of the places below.

Curses

In this episode (that I mistakenly call season one! It's season three. Talking is hard) I look at curses and their effect on people dating all the way back to ancient Egypt, potentially before then even,all the way to people of today. The curse is something that everybody is familiar with, but its intricacies are far more nuanced than many might believe. From talismans to wards, to everything in between, this is the story of the curse.Feel free to visit me at any of the following:Website: www.horrorshots.comInstagram: horrorshotsphotographyTwitter: @horrorshotspodFacebook: HorrorshotsPatreon: www.patreon.com/horrorshotsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/Ominous-Origins-1.

Season 3 - Episode One! The Curse of The Poltergeist

In this first episode of season three of the podcast, I go over what a poltergeist is, as well as the curse associated with the film, if it really is even a curse. No matter the truth, lives were lost, and the mystery surrounding the classic horror movie remains unsolved. Poltergeist came out in 1982 and as a creation of Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper, and with it came with the real life death of four cast members.

The Phoenix

In this episode, which is related to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, I discuss the ancient symbolic bird known as the Phoenix. This topic has always been a fascination for me as I really do like and admire birds - so I've always been drawn to them in any sense. The Phoenix is a truly magical and hopeful creature, with an equally enthralling story to match.

Set

In this episode I look at the villainous Egyptian God, Set. Set is a very interesting character, and therefore has a very interesting story. He has seen a few iterations of himself through different myths, and even influenced some characters from Christianity. This episode was inspired by 2017's The Mummy, which I reviewed on my brand new YouTube Channel, which I plan on updating weekly.

Fresh Kills Con - Jesse Markowski

In this episode of the podcast, I was lucky enough to interview Jesse Markowski of Fresh Kills Con - which is a brand new horror convention takings place in the Niagara region this summer (July 13th weekend). He has a lot of interesting insight, and from everything I could gather, this is going to an amazing convention.
