You are strange and off-putting here in the final chapter of Drac-tober, our month-long celebration of all things Dracula. We talked about the humble origins, but what happens when some boxes of dirt (boxes!?) make their way to Sunnydale, California? We get the answer in the Season 5 opener with "Buffy vs. Dracula" from the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. Joined by Buffy enthusiast and Glitterjaw podcast host Derek B. Gayle⁠ (⁠Walloping Websnappers⁠, ⁠Gimmicks⁠, ⁠Falling with Style⁠, ⁠Skreeonk!⁠, ⁠Lee Carvallo's Podding Challenge⁠), we look at the comparisons with the source text and film, how they work in the Buffy-verse and we even accuse each other of being under the thrall of the dark prince!

We may be finished with Dracula for now, but he always comes back.
