It's a double feature dipped in blood as Ian and Aaron review Horror of Dracula and The Revenge of Frankenstein!In the latest stop on their "Hammerland" tour, the guys examine Terence Fisher's 1958 follow-up to Hammer Films' crazy-successful The Curse of Frankenstein. First up, Christopher Lee makes his debut as the debonair Dracula, squaring off against a version of Van Helsing (played by Peter Cushing) that's quite different from the character in Bram Stoker's novel.Next, Cushing switches sides to play one of Ian's favorite movie villains. It turns out that reports of Victor Frankenstein's death have been wildly exaggerated, and the bad doctor sets up shop in another unsuspecting town--this time with better designs for the creature that bears his name!Kick back, relax, and enjoy this spoilerific discussion, which covers deja vu, the evolution of Hammer Horror, and much, much more!Show Links:Watch the Horror of Dracula trailer.Watch the Revenge of Frankenstein trailer.Keep up with all of Aaron's reviews at Horror 101 with Dr. AC.Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!
