This episode sinks its teeth into three wildly different Draculas across horror history:

  • Dracula (1931): Bela Lugosi’s hypnotic, cape-draped classic that set the vampire standard—elegant, chilling, and unforgettable.
  • Horror of Dracula (1958): Christopher Lee’s fierce, sensual Hammer reinvention, with Peter Cushing’s Van Helsing in hot pursuit—bold, bloody, and Technicolor Gothic.
  • Billy the Kid Versus Dracula (1966): The gloriously absurd B-movie where John Carradine’s Count heads West and faces off against a gunslinging Billy the Kid. Fangs vs. six-shooters in pure drive-in camp.

From Universal elegance to Hammer ferocity to cowboy-vampire chaos, we cover the Count’s evolution with trivia, scares, and laughs. Short, sharp, and full of bite—tune in!
