When I was originally contacted, some 10 years ago, Kevin Kolde, our Executive Producer, pointed me at a specific part of the game's sequence that he thought would make a good film (Note: This is the game Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse) In absence of a better idea I dug in there and started pulling things[...]

…And it was all going so well. Stephen Moffat and Mark Gatiss' adaptation of Dracula has been campy, goofy and still horrific The first two episodes were knowing deconstructions of the Gothic Horror genre and an update at the same time They delved into the subtexts of taboo, sexual terror, homo- or poly-eroticism more overtly than[...]

I rather enjoyed the BBC adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula by Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss and Sue Vertue – now on Netflix Well, the first two episodes at least, and I gasped at the cliffhanger at the end of the second episode But would I have been happier if I had stopped there? Probably. I thoroughly[...]

Tonight, we got the second episode of BBC One's Dracula adaptation, based on Bram Stoker's classic novel, from Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss and Sue Vertue But how 'based' is it? Certainly, there is plenty taken from the original novel, rearranged a bit, and with a few notable and broadly welcomed – and squeed over –[...]

I mentioned in my brief semi-spoilery summation of the first episode of Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss and Sue Vertue's Dracula, which aired on BBC One last night, second episode tonight, that there was a bit of a Sherlock Holmes crossover The team had also recreated Sherlock for the BBC, and it was a mention from[...]

Tonight saw the debut of the first episode of the new BBC adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, from Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss and Sue Vertue It was everything it needed to be and so much more Minor spoilers before, holding fire on the big stuff, as I know plenty of people will be timeshifting this[...]

I'm in the room with Steven Moffat, Mark Gatiss, Sue Vertue and Claes Bang, to hear them talk Dracula, their new BBC TV drama But first we got to see the trailer There is blood dripping on contracts, flies crawling into eyeballs, blood pumping in veins, fingernails being ripped from fingers, nuns with stakes under[...]

Set in Victorian London with a Vlad intent on world domination, the show also stars Jonathan[...]

We've got a preview below. The recap page shows us this won't be your typical Marvel comic… And the preview opens with a tale of Conan the… we mean, Ulysses Bloodstone. Though you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference. We've also got a martial arts tale starring Shang-Chi… …who looks like he's about to get fisted! Er… phrasing. And finally, Dracula[...]

Greetings! Now we know there are waves and waves of "television" shows (our old-school way of including cable, streaming, etc.) out there, and an avalanche of more coming down the mountain in the next few months that everyone is super pumped about (Disney + Marvel shows? Apple TV+?) – but what about those shows that[...]

Super7 started this years Universal Monsters Boodega event at SDCC on Wednesday Night, and Monster Kids turned out in droves!

Depending on which classic monster you are up against- Frankenstein, The Bride, The Mummy, The Creature, The Wolf Man, The Invisible Man, or Dracula, the game will be more difficult and the strategy will shift and change It sounds like a great time for fans of Universal Monsters, and hopefully I can track down a[...]

There will be some stuff from throughout his career later, but mainly that first run." Dunbier isn't sure when it will be ready, but it won't be in time for SDCC this year. Next Dunbier discussed the release of Bram Stoker's Dracula by Roy Thomas and Mike Mignola Last year IDW released an oversized black and[...]

And it begins, in a preview of next week's issue, in the most spectacular way possible: with Vampires on a Plane. Dracula's forces have been massacred and Drac himself is missing, so his remaining followers are attempting to flee before they meet the same fate Unfortunately, they've chosen to fly commercial and someone has eaten the[...]

In particular, it's a War of the Vampires, with Dracula making an appearance… maybe The head vamp was last seen in Deadpool #29, vanishing after stealing Deadpool's wife The solicit for February's Avengers #14 teases his return, though it's unknown whose side he'll be on.

This week we kick off a retrospective dedicated to the films of Bela Lugosi, beginning with Lugosi's iconic star turn in the 1931 Dracula. This is a supersized discussion where we dive deep into the casting of Lugosi, the oddness of Lugosi's performance, and the fealty of the movie (or not) to the book– and whether[...]
