Pryce and Carter 614, Vampire Edition:

"When in doubt, whip it out - 'it' being an enormous pack of bloodthirsty wolves."

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"

More reviews have been trickling in for the first episode of Dracula: The Danse Macabre.

After listening to The Happiness You Bring, Victoriocity co-creator Jen Sugden said:

"Dracula: The Danse Macabre is a sensuous, gorgeous retelling of Stoker's novel. It's everything you could want from an adaptation and so much more. Urbina's love for – and understanding of – Dracula makes this in many ways a love letter to the original, but his gift for taking stories and telling them in new and thought provoking ways means that this version has plenty of surprises and twists in store. Garbiel has assembled a cast and crew whose incredible talents elevate this production to something truly spectacular. This is a lavish, richly imagined, and hugely impressive work of audio fiction. Just when you think Gabriel Urbina's work cannot get any better, he takes a gothic masterpiece and makes a masterpiece of his own."

But really, nobody has captured the spirit of the show better than Supernatural writer Meghan Fitzmartin:

"Mina kicks ass."

We Are Going to Make One Of Those "Why You Should Listen To" Slideshows for Dracula:TDM...

... and the whole thing will just be a photo of Peter Coleman followed by a photo of Evangeline Young.

That'll be it, that'll be the whole thing.

[draculathedansemacabre]

Yeah, folks, all of us here at Dracula: The Danse Macabre are going to need you all to listen to this prologue and trailer for @re-dracula's adaptation of Carmilla.

And then join us in absolutely freaking out about it, oh my god!!!!!

the way my jaw dropped by the end of the FIRST EPISODE of dracula the danse macabre?!?!? like it’s already such a unique take on a classic i was soo not expecting it but i love it

[draculathedansemacabre]

Dracula: The Danse Macabre is shaping up to be an excellent series! It's a great chaser after the end of Dracula Daily. (And their Dracula sounds a lot like Willem Dafoe in Shadow of the Vampire, so you know Meg's on board.)

[draculathedansemacabre]

I’m sorry, HOLY SHIT.

I was NOT expecting that.

(This about Dracula: The Danse Macabre)

If you like dracula stuff you should definitely go listen to it.
