Episode 177: Dame Stoker‘s Dracula

As Spooky Season continues, the Dames discuss all things vampiric, including:

• A brief history of sexy scary monsters
• Transgressive sexuality, Freudian nightmares, and rapacious aristocrats
• Why Bela Lugosi is the best Dracula
• Twilight's de-fanging of the vampire
• Why Coppola's Dracula is really problematic

Plus! The Last Duel kerfuffle and why a medieval epic about rape might not be such a big hit right now.
