Conjure up your deepest, darkest fear. Now call that fear to life. Gothic is a 1986 British psychological horror film directed by Ken Russell, starring Gabriel Byrne as Lord Byron, Julian Sands as Percy Bysshe Shelley, Natasha Richardson as Mary Shelley, Myriam Cyr as Claire Clairmont (Mary Shelley's stepsister) and Timothy Spall as Dr. John William Polidori. The film is a fictionalized retelling of the Shelleys' visit to Lord Byron in Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva and it concerns their competition to write a horror story, which ultimately led to Mary Shelley writing Frankenstein and John Polidori writing The Vampyre. 00:00 Intro 12:26 Horror News 32:20 What We've Been Watching 52:53 Film Review 2:10:01 Name Game 2:16:20 Film Rating 2:22:36 Outro Podcast - https://podlink.to/horrorhangout​​​ Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/horrorhangout Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/horrorhangoutpodcast Twitter - https://twitter.com/horror_hangout_ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@horrorhangoutpodcast Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/horrorhangoutpodcast/ Website - http://www.hawkandcleaver.com​​​ Ben - https://twitter.com/ben_errington​​​ Andy - https://twitter.com/AndyCTWrites Helen - https://www.instagram.com/helen.c.pain/ Audio credit - Taj Easton http://tajeaston.com Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thehorrorhangout.
