## Resource

In this episode of The Demon Toast Podcast, King Loki, Adrian, and John Dimes (Dr. Sarcofiguy) continue our deep dive into Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. Part 2 focuses on the film’s lush visual language—its costume and set choices rooted in Pre-Raphaelite and Romantic art—and the Gothic cinematic echoes running through it, from Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula to del Toro’s own Crimson Peak. A richly textured conversation worthy of the Demon Toast flame. Death Wish Poetry Magazine – The home for the sensual and macabre, the gothic and the beautiful. Give us your heart and soul, and revel in the darkness with us.
