Summary: "I am Dracula.........I bid you....welcome" In a very special edition of the Horroretc Podcast the dawn of Hollywood horror is explored as we discuss the classic Universal era of Dracula, beginning with the pillar of horror classics 1931 Dracula. The work of the great Bela Lugosi is detailed with anecdotes aplenty. For those with an appreciation of classic horror, the great character of Dracula, Hollywood history, or the Universal actor stable we hope to provide some informative entertainment. The concurrent Spanish version of Dracula (1931), Dracula's Daughter (1936), Son of Dracula (1943), House of Dracula (1945) and many other screen versions round out the classic era conversation. Francis Ford Coppola's epic Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) is also discussed at length pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of that ambitious project. Ted pulls no punches with his thoughts on Coppola's directorial style which was front and centre in the film. Schlock Corner continues the Dracula theme as Anthony reminisces about a classic Hasbro game 'I Vant To Bite Your Finger'. Finally, we return to the podcast mailbag to do some catching up.
