297: Dracula (1931)

This week we're diving into the coffin with the classic Dracula (1931). We ponder its enduring influence on vampire films, delve into Bela Lugosi's path to becoming the iconic Count, and dissect how it deviates from its novel and theatrical roots. In this episode's b-side, we speculate on why Binx might be voiceless, mull over the quantity of Dracula content we've tackled this year, and Kris theorizes that Renfield might've had ulterior motives when visiting Dracula's castle. This episode contains spoilers, beginning at 33:35.
