#75: Fairy Tales and Horror! My 2-Year Anniversary! Karen Lam!
It’s my two-year anniversary episode! I talk about fairy tales and their effects on horror with the brilliant filmmaker (and my dear friend) Karen Lam! Check out her work over at karenlamfilms.com! Her short films Doll Parts and The Stolen are definitely influenced by fairy tales.
She has a lot to say about storytelling, mythology, horror, and the film industry. This is an episode not to be missed!
I want to thank Pia Thrasher for providing the awesome intro in German! Check out her blog here and her artwork here!
Finally, I really wish to thank all of you who donated to my UK fundraiser, including but not limited to: David Raines, Mark Nutter, Bernard de la Cruz, Kevin Walsh, Briana Malmstrom, Lori Bowen, Jim Wilsterman, Valerie Polichar, Vanessa Dinning, Peter Maxwell, Rachel Brotchner, Colleen Carlson, Jess Moviedromedvd, Aled Moviedromedvd, Kim Forsythe, Mike Beattie, Al Fair, Robert Penny, Verena C Rowe, Strange Jason, Raymond McDermott, Ashleigh Nichols, Keith Allison, Todd Stadtman, Rebecca Louise Webb, Yvette Valenzuela, Nadine L’ Esperance, Tonjia Rhen, Michael Bonomo, Clarice Meadows, Karen W Lam, Adam Tufano, Kevin Kornburger, Jon Grunes, Michael McQuiggan, Allyson Long, Tone Milazzo, and Tyler Ham!
Tyler, by the way, claims that he single-handedly sent me to the UK because he donated the amount that crossed the goal line. Funny guy! He’s also a great FX artist–see his work here. You all RULE!

“Dass ich dich besser fressen kann,” scary voiced wolf. Yay!
One more thing, my ex’s grandfather was an Austro-Hungarian baron who fled during the Communist Revolution. And one of the most interesting thing about it was that he was a baron in the countryside and his job was to resolve disputes and know about agricultural science for the people in his region. His castle was crappy and cold and hard to maintain, but he had to stay there because part of his function was to be external to the community, to be liminal, so he could resolve disputes and be trusted in his advice. So it’s interesting to me how we understand royalty now when royalty and aristocrats have so little civic function beyond inspiration uniting figureheads or entertainment. It also makes me wonder if part of the problem with the late French aristocracy is that they became more like how we think of royalty in stories, i.e., became Real Housewives or dicks.
Diana watches so much reality tv. Literally so much. Probably all of it. This weekend I learned that Bristol Palin has a show. By learned I mean I sat through several episodes. Please kill me.
How is Royalty currently thought of in places like England?
Wow, do you have to watch them, too? I think that’s a good time to catch up on some reading!
