As we conclude Halloween Month, we take a look at the original scary dude, Dracula. And even though you think doing research on Dracula would be fun and spooky, we learned the hard way that the original source material that introduces this guy who is undead, sucks blood and can turn into a bat and a wolf-thing, is actually kinda boring. Tom read Bram Stoker's original book and Tim watched the 1931 Bela Lugosi-starring movie (a totally fair division of work), so we have a lot to share.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Halloween Month continues this week with a look at one of history's greatest monsters, Frankenstein. "But Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster," you say, trying to be clever.
