For me, it was The Source, finding out that Harry Junior was the Dweller and my favorite part of the Necroscope Saga when Harry Jr. makes the gate in space and directs sunlight through the Mobius Continuum and out of Harry Senior's gate and just scorches all the Wamphyri and their creatures to ash. I would give my right arm to see this on the silver screen!

could you make a warrior with testicles but no penis?

You got it Hubris good job! (I thought this would be a little harder as you had to span two books to figure it out) Good work! Your turn.

Though not Wamphyri this person was killed twice. Both times the killer was a member of E-Branch. Who is it?

Sdkdmd, Hello neighbor, nice to see a Lumlian nearby.

Skinters, sorry for the long post just had this bottled up in me for a while (even mentioned it a bit to Mr. Lumley himself at the Jersey Devil Con in Edison, N.J. a few years ago) Nightshade, didn't see that episode doesn't surprise me at all that they would do that. I'm sure there are even more. I actually liked Stargate the movie before I read the Necroscope Saga, then I read the books and loved them, and then the series came out and I started seeing the connections. I thought about this topic a lot and if I remember correctly Stargate SG-1 was produced by Showtime and premiered the same year as the anthology series The Hunger(which featured an adaptation of Brian Lumley's short story "Necros") I'm not sure how that deal came about, but wouldn't be surprised if a writer/producer over at Showtime is a fan of Mr.Lumley. I actually have that "Necros" episode of The Hunger on VHS and am willing to make a copy for anyone if they send me postage/blank tape. (though I can't vouch for the recording quality)

I have long tracked the similarities between Necroscope and Stargate and having read Khai of Khem recently only made the comparisons to Brian Lumley's work more apparent. In order to contrast these similarites I have compiled a list of them. The following list is full of spoilers for anyone who hasn't read all Necroscope books, viewed Stargate(the movie), Stargate SG-1, or read Khai of Khem. If you don't want to have these stories ruined Please do not read ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! * * * * * * * * * Attribute ancient human culture/theology/architecture created/altered by aliens or alien influence/technology Stargate (movie) Yes (Egyptian) Stargate SG-1 Yes (Egyptian, Sumerian, Norse, Greek, Roman) Khai of Khem Yes(Egyptian,North African) Necroscope Yes(Gypsy,European) Attribute enslaved ancient culture used to build monuments/or ancients used as fodder Stargate (movie) Yes Stargate SG-1 Yes Khai of Khem Yes Necroscope Yes Attribute transported ancient peoples to another universe/planet for uses above via dimensional gate Stargate (movie) Yes (Egyptian) Stargate SG-1 Yes (Egyptian, Sumerian, Norse, Greek, Roman) Khai of Khem No Necroscope Yes(Gypsy,European)(though may have been other way around?) Attribute on secondary planet(s) human population is predated on by Lords/Ladies and their half-parasitized lieutenants during raids/tithing (a feudal system is in place) Stargate (movie) Yes (Ra)Lieutenants (Jaffa’) Stargate SG-1 Yes (Goa’uldSystem Lords)Lieutenants (Jaffa’) Khai of Khem No Necroscope Yes(Wamphyri Lords/Ladies)and thralls “Lieutenants” Attribute Lords/Ladies worshipped as deities/demons,seat of power of Lords /Ladies is an elevated /isolated position above their “subjects,”places of horror and depravity where rituals/ experiments are performed on the helpless population Stargate (movie) Yes (pyramid/ship) Stargate SG-1 Yes(pyramids /castles/ships) Khai of Khem Yes(pyramid)(though on Earth) Necroscope Yes(aeries /stacks/manses) Attributes pyramids used as “landing pads” for space ships shaped as pyramids Stargate (movie) Yes Stargate SG-1 Yes Khai of Khem Yes Necroscope No Attribute glowing eyes indicate alien presence in Lord/Lady Stargate (movie) Yes(white) Stargate SG-1 Yes(white) Khai of Khem No Necroscope Yes(red) Attribute a parasitic alien leech/worm extends life/healing powers Stargate (movie) Yes (Ra)parasitic but not a leech/worm (metempsychosis)life extended via body switching/ technology Stargate SG-1 Yes (Goa’uld)parasitic alien leech/worm extends life/healing powers Khai of Khem No(though alien/human hybrid Pharaoh has extended life) Necroscope Yes (Wamphyri)parasitic alien leech/worm extends life/healing powers Attribute parasitic worms/leeches have rare females who reproduce by thousands Stargate (movie) No Stargate SG-1 Yes (Hathor) Khai of Khem No Necroscope Yes (Karen, others)The “Mother” Wamphyri Attribute Earth military discover ancient gates or use technology to create one whether intentional or accidental Stargate (movie) Yes (Americans) Stargate SG-1 Yes (Americans.

To anyone familiar with the show there are many more references to Necroscope, from the overall demeanor of the System Lords(they just "act" like the Wamphyri) to last season's finale entitled "Moebius." I am a fan of the movie,show, and books but the influence is undeniable in the least. [ April 02, 2005, 11:42 AM: Message edited by: BlueJaunter ]
