Kim Newman on DRACULA (1931) - Old Movies | Lyssna här

Old Movies is delighted to welcome the living legend, author, critic and horror expert Kim Newman to the podcast to discuss a subject he is, without hyperbole, a world-leading authority on: everyone's favourite blood pervert, Count Dracula. Specifically, we discuss the 1931 Tod Browning Universal adaptation of Dracula, and its tortured journey from book to stage and screen, playing a key role in what has to be one of the first and most consequential battles over intellectual property and screen adaptations. We discuss the personal connection the film has to Kim, as well as exploring the possiblity that Dracula is the most represented screen character ever; at least, he's ubiqutous enough to keep Kim's 'Daily Dracula' going every day for six whole years.
