This week on The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we’re sinking our teeth into two very different takes on the Dracula legend.

First, we travel back to 1960 with Hammer’s gothic classic The Brides of Dracula. Despite Dracula never appearing on screen, this chilling tale introduces us to Baron Meinster, Van Helsing’s return (Peter Cushing at his finest), and one of Hammer’s most atmospheric and underrated vampire films.

Then, we leap forward 40 years to the year 2000 with Wes Craven’s Dracula 2000. Starring Gerard Butler in an early role, Christopher Plummer as a modern-day Van Helsing, and a cast full of familiar faces, this Y2K horror mashup mixes gothic lore with turn-of-the-millennium flair.

Join us as we compare these two films, explore what worked (and what didn’t), and share our favorite performances, moments, and lasting impressions.

If you’re a fan of classic Hammer horror, gothic chills, or early 2000s vampire fun, this episode is for you!
