#100-2 Dracula Reborn: 30 Years of the Count on Screen

The Evolution of Dracula on Film: From Gothic Prince to Action Villain.

In this episode of High Strangeness, hosted by Tony, the night before Halloween, we delve into the evolving appearances and portrayals of Count Dracula in cinema over the past 30 years. From the gothic and tragic character in 1992's 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' to the high-octane action villain in 2004's 'Van Helsing', and the warrior king in 2014's 'Dracula Untold', we trace the many faces of Dracula. The journey culminates with the 2023 horror-comedy 'Renfield', where Nicolas Cage redefines Dracula with humor and charm. As we explore these transformations, we uncover why Dracula remains a compelling figure in culture – a mirror reflecting society's fears and desires. Join us for this Halloween special as we celebrate the timeless allure of Dracula.
