Bonus Episode 30: Terry-Thomas in Panties (Dracula and The Vault of Horror)

It’s time for our annual spooktacular Halloween Who-rror special! This year, we discuss two horror movies featuring the stars of Doctor Who, starting with Hammer Horror’s Dracula (also known as “The Horror of Dracula” - featuring Peter Cushing), followed by the Amicus anthology The Vault of Horror (featuring Tom Baker).

 

It’s a wild ride this episode, as we touch on topics as varied as Chap Hop (yes, it’s a thing!), the worst insurance scam ever, erroneous claims of being the first person to make Dracula “sexy”, American censorship, and, of course, everyone’s favourite bounder, Terry-Thomas, in panties.
