ABOUT THE SHOW: Dragon King Dark deals with science, paranormal, ancient history, ghosts, UFOs, demons, space, and more.
Dragon King Dark – The Outer Limits – 212
On this edition of DragonKing Dark, host Karl Stern journeys back in time to 1964 for an episode of the sci-fi fueled TV show the Outer Limits and an episode titled The Solider which may have influenced The Terminator series of movies. A solider from the future is accidentally beamed back in time and tries to mesh with the world of 1964 and the results are less than successful.
Dragon King Dark – Secrets Of The Sphinx – 211
This week on DragonKing Dark, host Karl Stern takes a look at a 2013 documentary from the Smithsonian Channel called Secrets of the Sphinx. Of all the ancient monuments in Giza complex in Egypt, one stands out as different from the others. The great Sphinx seems out of place, out of scale, and older than the rest. The official archaeological story says different but one can see with their own eyes that the head is out of scale to the body and there are clear signs of water erosion. What’s up with that? We discuss the age and theories of The Sphinx.
Dragon King Dark – Bionic Man Vs. Venus Death Probe – 210
This week on DragonKing Dark Podcast, host Karl Stern looks back at a series of popular Six Million Dollar Man TV episodes featuring a Soviet Venus probe that malfunctioned and landed in the United States and went on a terror spree. The Venus death probe was indestructible, built to withstand the harsh conditions of the planet Venus. Then we will look at the reality behind the Venus probe including Russia’s actual successful landing of a probe on Venus, the only pictures from it’s nightmarish surface, and some really cool information about the hell world that is Venus.
Dragon King Dark – Paranormal Survivor – 209
On this weeks DragonKing Dark Podcast, host Karl Stern takes a look at an episode of the television docu-series Paranormal Survivor. This episode takes a look at a haunted house (one of my favorite topics), a haunted car and other haunted objects, and much more. We venture into the realm of ghosts and demonic activity.
Dragon King Dark – Best Hidden Monsters: Loch Ness – 208
One of the most popular pop culture monsters of the 1970s was the Loch Ness monster, a supposed displaced dinosaur or sea creature in a deep Scottish lake. Nessy even made it into a song by The Police and Napoleon Dynamite. While the Loch Ness monster also seems like a plausible real thing that could exist, it turns out, it’s the most likely of the famous 1970s monsters not to be real. This documentary from 2012 takes a look at how the Loch Ness monster turned out to be nothing more than a plot to get revenge on a newspaper.
Dragon King Dark – Bionic bigfoot – 207
1970s popular television series the Six Million Dollar Man and reviews the episodes where Bigfoot shows up! Not only does Bigfoot arrive but he’s has bionic enhancements as well. Bigfoot is played by both pro wrestler Andre the Giant and Ted Cassidy. We talk about Bigfoot hysteria in the 1970s and how pop culture treated Bigfoot.
Dragon King Dark – In Search of History ….Dracula – 206
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.
Dragon King Dark – Master Of Dark Shadows – 205
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.
Dragon King Dark – Abomidable Snowman Yeti – 204
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?
Dragon King Dark – In Search Of……Bigfoot 1977 – 203
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.
Dragon King Dark – Future Shock 1972 – 202
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. With 50 years of perspective since Future Shock aired, it actually seems more relevant than ever.
Dragon King Dark – Unacknowledged – 201
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.
Dragon King dark – In Search of …. And the Pyramid Code – 200
we begin reviewing retro documentaries on the paranormal, strange, odd, science, cryptozoology, and more. This week, host Karl Stern takes a look at two shows. First, from the old series In Search Of… starring Leonard Nimoy season 1 episode 1 which asks “What if plants can communicate with us?”.

Dragon King Dark – Oddities Of Louisiana – 195
http://traffic.libsyn.com/wiwcretronetwork/DragonKing_Dark_195_Oddities_of_Louisiana.mp3
This show went off the rails, I can not lie. When you think of strange, odd, and weird places, Louisiana probably comes to mind because of New Orleans and it’s association with Voodoo and Vampires. Well… most of your travel destination websites seem to grasp that and little else. They also apparently believe that Louisiana is made up entirely of New Orleans and this drives host Karl Stern crazy.

Dragon King Dark – The More That Things Change – 189
Recently we’ve been digging through Newspapers.com doing some history research. Searching for old family members, the history of our town, and more. Reading newspapers from the 1800s through the 1940s over and over again makes you realize that we aren’t so special here in 2019. In fact, the more that things change, the more they stay the same. You can add radio, television, go to the moon, have multiple wars, the internet, and every political argument you can think of but in the end human nature seems consistent.

There is a major crisis happening all around us and most people are completely oblivious to it. Should this crisis come to fruition the food chain will collapse.

In the early 1900s Egyptian archaeology was in it’s golden era and the unearthing of an intact, treasure filled, tomb of a Pharaoh was the talk of the world.

Dragon King Dark – Oak Island Money Pit – 148
On this episode of the DragonKing Dark Podcast we continue our look at various curses and tales of ill fate.

Dragon King Dark – All In Your Head – 142
Ghosts, the paranormal, UFOs, religious experience- is it all just in our heads? Everything we experience and perceive is literally just our brain’s interpretation of input from our senses. People with certain mental disorders and illnesses like dementia experience real events in their minds that aren’t happening in the real world so is this evidence that supernatural experiences are all just inside our own minds or are our minds amazing receivers to a realm beyond our own?
Dragon King Dark – Is Technology Bad For Us – 141
Is technology bad for us? In so many ways technology has helped mankind and advanced us to live longer and healthier lives. But it has come with a cost. While the tech has opened the world and given us instant access to information, we previously had to search out there are more and more studies that have uncovered the chilling ways it is impacting our lives. Does tech really make our lives easier or has it added complexity and stress and given the worst among us a new tool to exploit, harass, and prey? Join Karl Stern on this episode of DragonKing Dark to discuss.
Dragon King Dark – Are You Being Controlled II – 140
Two weeks ago we had another well received episode of the DragonKing Dark Podcast called Are You Being Controlled. Following the feedback to that episode, I have recorded a part two to the conversation. No matter what name you give to “them” there seem to be a powerful elite controlling the course of our lives. Perhaps it’s only politicians and the ultra-rich setting the agenda and influencing mass areas of policy and news but whatever the name, whatever the machination, it seems we are pawns in a larger game.
Dragon King Dark – The Bible And The Paranormal – 139
This week on DragonKing Dark we take another look at what the Bible has to say about the paranormal.

Find out on this edition of DragonKing Dark as we search for these elements in the Bible.
Dragon King Dark – Are You Being Controlled – 138
On this edition of the DragonKing Dark Podcast, host Karl Stern looks at the news, current events, modern politics, and asks the very valid question – Are you being controlled? For hundreds of years there has been the talk of an Illuminati type organization pulling the strings on world events and while that may (or may not) be a work of fiction, they told events in the world are organic have a feel of orchestration. It’s easy to view current world events and see evidence that society is being manipulated, but by whom or what?
Dragon King Dark – Modern Horror Themes – 137
As Halloween approaches this week, we have spent the month talking about archetype monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein but the monsters of the modern era are even more intense and frightening. Freddie Kruger, Jason Voorhees, Leatherface, Michael Myers, Pennywise and the other slasher killers play on a newer type of fear.
