Ominous Origins

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).

Women in Horror Month - Kristen Zaza

In this very special episode, I honor the Women in Horror Month with a look at a friend mine from the Horror Rama event earlier this year. Her name is Kristen Zaza, and you may have heard me talk about her in the past. She was kind enough to let me interview her, and talk about what she's all about. Her audio drama podcast, On a Dark, Cold Night just released it's 51st episode, and it's incredibly well done.

Deathly Personifications: Hel

In this episode of the podcast I continue my look into the various personifications of death; today we look at Hel, from the Norse Mythology. Hel, as her name suggests is also the ruler of the realm of the same name, and she's attributed to gathering a portion of the souls who've died, with the rest being distributed through other afterlife's. She's an interesting character, with quite a bit of a story behind her.Don't forget to leave a review if you like what I'm doing here, it helps a ton!You can find/contact me at:Website: www.horrorshots.comInstagram: horrorshotsphotographyTwitter: @horrorshotspodFacebook: HorrorshotsPatreon: www.patreon.com/horrorshotsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/Ominous-Origins-1.

Personifications of Death: The Celts

In this episode of the podcast, I continue my look into how various cultures around the world personify death; today's look is at the Celtic region of Europe, which means Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. We look at everything from the Banshee, to the origins of the headless horseman. It was a very interesting looking into those specific beliefs, and how they had more than version of death depending on the country, and even area within said country.And of course, you can find me at the following places:Website: www.horrorshots.comInstagram: horrorshotsphotographyTwitter: @horrorshotspodFacebook: HorrorshotsPatreon: www.patreon.com/horrorshotsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/Ominous-Origins-1.

Deathly Personifications: Thanatos

In this episode of the podcast, I look at certain death as it is personified. In the first of a many part series on the topic, which will feature many cultures from various regions around the world, I look at the Greek God, Thanatos. He's the god of Death (not to be confused with Hades), and he's more so a benevolent being than not.The sources I used can be found in the links below:Greek Gods & Goddesses, June 10, 2018Thanatos: GreekMythology.com - Jan 14, 2019And of course, you can find me at the following places:Website: www.horrorshots.comInstagram: horrorshotsphotographyTwitter: @horrorshotspodFacebook: HorrorshotsPatreon: www.patreon.com/horrorshotsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/Ominous-Origins-1.
