Chad your comment about the guy party for a really resonated with me. I had a similar incident a couple years ago when I went to see Trans-Siberian orchestra in Pittsburgh The guy was wearing a stifling amount of cologne and I ended up getting a migraine and having to leave the show early. Right about the time they started flying through the air in the arena with their guitars. It was a good show but all I remember is the cologne

Have you guys ever seen the BBC show Being Human? It's got a vampire, werewolf, and ghost living in a house trying to "be human." It treats vampirism like a addiction. In the middle of the series, it goes a little of the rails, but it's enjoyable, if a little gory at times. There's a American version which mimics the British for the first season, than deviants significantly.

One more dracula to add to your list if you haven't come across it yet is Vampir (2021) a Serbian movie that has some good folk horror vampire elements. It's perhaps a little long for the story it tells, but there are some good scares and creepy bits. I thought the fact that the film didn't translate the villagers dialogue to the main character interesting, and that makes the audience a little bit more uneasy. It's on Tubi if you want to check it out.

There’s probably earlier examples, but the Frank Langella Dracula from the 70s leans into the idea of him as a tragic and romantic (and sexy) figure.

As an electrician, I’m always bugged and disappointed by the electricity coming out of the fingers gambit to fell someone in a movie. How does it work? Where exactly does it come from? Is it AC? Is it DC? As the target, do you have to be grounded for it to affect you? I think if I were the person wielding it, I would try to wait until my victim was in contact with some plumbing just to make sure they get the best hit.

Nightman is holographic musician? That's Outrageous, truly truly truly outrageous!

Richard Horsman

I’m now imagining an electrician vampire hunter who goes out with an oscilloscope etc. to learn more about these powers. Oo! Their nickname would be The Rectifier!

It's a Ghost.

I watched the first three seasons of the original British "Being Human" and loved it! I stopped there because at that time in the US (2012), the fourth season wasn't yet available for streaming on Netflix, and too, for various reasons (spoilers!) it just felt like a natural place to stop watching. Also, if you transpose the words Being Human, you get Human Being 🙂

Our old pal Brendan Gardiner

I hope no one needs the rectifier’s services on a Sunday because that sounds super expensive.

It's a Ghost.

I absolutely loved the music of Sinners and how beautifully it was shot. Also, I felt like it was very much a movie about people, and then there were also some vampires. There were definitively vampires present, but, unlike the human characters, who were the focus of the movie, the vampires were never fully developed as characters. Their presence in the story seemed much more about serving the human story rather than simply being scary, creepy monsters, which I appreciated.

As far as I can figure, the first use of the heroine as reincarnated lover for a supernatural villain was in the Boris Karloff version of The Mummy from 1932. The earliest example I know of where it's a vampire is the 1960s soap opera Dark Shadows. The first time I know where it's specifically Dracula is the 1974 TV movie starring Jack Palance, which is scripted by Richard Matheson and directed by Dark Shadows creator Dan Curtis. That version has Lucy as the reincarnation, which IMO makes more sense for the story than using Mina in that role.

Jim Cannon

Speaking of graphic novels: I was prepping notes for an episode of The Iron Age of Comics focused on Matt Wagner's _Grendel_ which prominently features a vampire character (who is really creepy and also predates on children) and it occurred to me that, even though I know you guys read comics, you don't mention vampire comics ever. Whither _Tomb of Dracula_? _Hellboy: Wake the Devil_? _Greenberg the Vampire_? _Preacher_? That one Superman annual where he and Batman fight vampires? Heck, you're huge Spider-Man fans and yet in nearly a thousand episodes of this podcast, there has not been one single mention of Morbius, the Living Vampire. "Vampire media" is not just TV and movies!

Mandy Reznor (She/It)

Y'know, my wife and I finally got around to watching Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, and I gotta say it scratched a serious gothic vampire itch. Might be worth checking out the next time y'all do a vampire roundup.

March should always be for Manimals.

I really wish studios would stop remaking movies and games that are already fantastic. It'd be much better to remake ones that weren't that great and make them better. I get why they just go for the popular stuff, it's a much safer bet, but like... the originals still hold up well.

Kyle Van Acker

Hahahahahaaa! Body sprayyyyy. XD Great bookend to the month and great episode fellas!

John Corell

For a more cheesy and fun watch, I'd recommend "Suck" (2009). A struggling Canadian rock band gains popularity after the bassist is turned into a vampire. The rest of the band follows suit (except for the beat down French-Canadian roadie who becomes the Renfield) and the band becomes famous. You can play spot the cameo with Moby, Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Henry Rollins, Alex Lifeson, Nicole de Boer (replacement Dax from DS9), Dave Foley and others.

Totally agreed on how terrible the Van Helsing SyFy series was, but I do feel the need to point out the cleverness of the original premise. The vampires come out of hiding after the Yellowstone supervolcano finally blows up, and thick clouds block the sun for years. It was like they had one great idea and decided that was good enough.

Jason of the K

Wow, that Luc Besson "Dracula" film really is just a riff off Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula. It's a copy of a copy of a copy removed from the novel for sure.

Jeb Card

Concur for film. The film in turn is probably taking inspiration from a number of sources, including Jewel of the Seven Stars by Stoker (not a reincarnation, but a possession of a young woman by the ancient Queen). But most importantly, Conan Doyle's The Ring of Thoth. In the story, a mummy is dug up and masquerades as a museum worker at the Louvre to get a magical elixir so that he can join his ancient bride who is currently a dead mummy. The scroll that can animate the dead in the 1932 movie is the Scroll of Thoth.

Pearce Duncan

I just got a collection of Conan Doyle's supernatural stories, so I'll have to read that one.
