Better late than never! Our newest episode, discussing Hrabě Drakula, is now available on our website, as well as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and now, Audible! We also give a shoutout to our pals at https://mobile.twitter.com/tmwilypodcast ! We really enjoyed this movie, and we hope you enjoy listening! https://www.deadandwatching.com/episodes/episode-5-hrab-drakula-1971

We’re late again, but we’re pleased to announce that WE HAVE A (mostly) BOOK-ACCURATE DRACULA! A made-for-TV movie made in the Czech Republic, Hrabe Drakula gives us a bearded dracula, a competent Jonathan, a LIZARD CLIMB, and more! And the best part: YOU, listener, can watch it on Youtube RIGHT...

So we wanted to get our episode releases back on schedule, and then that [checks notes] didn't happen. Episode 5 has been recorded, we're just still working on editing it. Vampire Bites have been put on hold for the moment, so we can focus on getting the main episodes out!

Thank you for your patience!

Christopher Lee returns! We swoon over book-accurate moustaches and a competent Jonathan, we scream about asylum toilet boxes, and we cheer for some of the most animated taxidermy we’ve ever seen this side of Evil Dead 2!

An Update for you, Children of the Night!

We continue to work to catch up on our backlog. Currently, we have both our fourth full episode, 1970's "Count Dracula," and our fourth Vampire Bite, "Interview With a Vampire," recorded. We are hoping to finish up editing both of these by the end of the month.

From there, we will work on getting episode 5 recorded, as well as our Vampire Bite discussing vampires in tabletop games. We hope to be back to a more regular release schedule soon. Thank you for your patience!

Hungarian actor Béla Lugosi was crowned “Hollywood’s Prince of Darkness” for his portrayal of the vampire Count Dracula in several films. But today few people know he was a union leader and anti-fascist who fought real-life monsters. From actor to activist Lugosi was born Béla Ferenc Dezső

OUR TRIUMPHANT RETURN! That’s right, Children of the Night! It’s the first episode we’ve recorded since we recovered from The Plague, and we… might have gone a little feral with this one. This “Vampire Bite” clocks in at about an hour long, and it is… Well, honestly, we can’t tell yo...

An Update on things: We are not quite caught up on our backlog, but we SHOULD have a new vampire bites for you soon! We've recorded, all that's left to do now is edit it. We were not sober for this one.

WE’RE BACK! Sorry about the unexpected break, listeners! As Andrew will tell you in this episode’s into, our household came down with a case of The Plague near the end of December, preventing us from getting this episode edited and uploaded until now! We’re all fully recovered now, and will be...

Update: THEY'RE ALIVE! THEY'RE ALIIIIVE-- wait, wrong movie... Regardless, we are all still alive and fully recovered! We've fallen behind in our scheduling, but we will get caught up on episodes as soon as we can!

Thanks for your patience, Children of the Night!

Hey there, Children of the Night! It is with great regret that I must inform you that our household has been infected with the Plague. We're all feeling pretty poorly, and as a result, our next episode will be delayed. Sorry about that! Send your good thoughts our way, please! We'll get back to our regularly scheduled content as soon as we can!

Welcome, Children of the Night, to another episode of Vampire Bites! This time, we take a look at the 2000 film Shadow of the Vampire, a metacommentary on the filming of Nosferatu that imagines Max Schreck as an actual vampire. Did we enjoy the film? Did we think it was trying too hard to be dee

Sorry for the wait, Children of the Night! Our second full episode, in which we discuss the 1922 silent film "Nosferatu," is now available on our website, as well as on Spotify, Stitcher, and Apple Podcasts!

EDIT: We are aware there are some audio glitches in the first few minutes. We're not sure what's causing them, and we're not sure how to fix them, but they go away after about a minute and a half.

Rats rats rats rats rats rats rats… We made it to Episode 2, Children of the Night! Dead and Watching it is officially a SERIES now! For this one, we’re going back to the earliest Dracula adaptation that we have access to (even if Bram Stoker’s wife really wishes we didn’t): NOSFERATU! This ...

Hope you're having a fangtastic Friday, Children of the Night! I'm happy to announce that our very first Vampire Bites episode is now available on Stitcher, Spotify, and on our website at deadandwatching.com! Vampire Bites are shorter episodes that don't QUITE fit our guideline for adaptations, but they involve spooky things and we want to talk about them anyways.

For our first Vampire Bite, we discus the delightful 80's classic, Monster Squad!
