Episode description
As Spooky Season continues, the Dames discuss all things vampiric, including:
- A brief history of sexy scary monsters
- Transgressive sexuality, Freudian nightmares, and rapacious aristocrats
- Why Bela Lugosi is the best Dracula
- Twilight's de-fanging of the vampire
- Why Coppola's Dracula is really problematic
Plus! The Last Duel kerfuffle and why a medieval epic about rape might not be such a big hit right now.
