This week on DragonKing Dark Podcast, host Karl Stern takes a look back at a 1996 documentary from In Search of History on the origins of Dracula. We will look back at the facts and fiction of tying the real-life Vlad Tepes to the fictional vampire lord Dracula. While Bram Stoker's Dracula gets his name and much of his home setting from Vlad the Impaler, there is some question of how much the two Dracula's have in common.

This week on DragonKing Dark, Karl takes a look at a documentary from 2019 about the cult 1960s supernatural-themed soap opera Dark Shadows. We have talked about Dark Shadows before at When It Was Cool and this documentary promised a look behind the scenes and at the creator of the series- Dan Curtis. While it fell short in that area, it excelled in taking a look at the most interesting character from the show- Barnabas Collins.

This week host Karl Stern takes a look at a documentary titled "In Search of History: The Abominable Snowman". The Yeti is a creature similar to Bigfoot in many respects, only in colder climates. But what evidence of the Yeti do we actually have? Do we have more or less than Bigfoot? There is even some claimed evidence of the existence of the Abominable Snowman in the form of a mummified hand and scalp. How well do these hold up to examination?

Our retro TV review this week goes back into the In Search of... collection and tackles an icon of the 1970s- Bigfoot! In this episode, Leonard Nimoy navigates us through the usual Bigfoot stories- men trapped in a cabin under siege from a group of creatures, obviously the Patterson film story, and many other close encounters with a giant ape-man in the Pacific Northwest. If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast then this show was produced during the height of the 1970s Bigfoot-mania.

Orson Wells. We all know the name as one of the greatest directors and minds of the last 100 years. Orson Wells narrates this amazing 1972 documentary Future Shock based on a book by the same name. Unlike so many other futurism documentaries and books, this one gets it right. In fact, frighteningly so. No flying cars or homes of the future here. Instead, it seems a society shocked into depression over the rapid advancement in technology.

This week on Karl Stern's DragonKing Dark Podcast we review a documentary currently on Netflix - Unacknowledged. This is a 2017 documentary that is an explosive expose on UFOs and what the government, not just in the United States but the UK as well, know. Interviews with very credible insiders leave little doubt that UFOs have been here, are currently here, and it is known inside the halls of power. An excellent documentary on UFOs.
