Today we begin out October Marathon by listening to the children of the night in Dracula (1931). We discuss the juicy vein that Universal tapped with the creation of their monsterverse, why Bela Lugosi became the most iconic vampire of all time, and why Dracula is the monster we all love to love. Return with us almost 100 years ago to celebrate of the earliest and best Messed Up Movies.
