“The Invisible Dan” and “Monster Mike” have returned from the grave to talk more Universal Monsters! Join them as they sink their teeth into 1979’s Dracula, starring Frank Langella, Laurence Olivier and Donald Pleasance! They revisit the original play, which served as the basis for this film, much like Tod Browning’s original film, and discuss how the two films compare, plus Frank Langella’s unique approach to the title role, Donald Pleasance’s scene-stealing techniques, the incredible practical effects, the wasted Renfield, the influences this film may have had on a certain other Dracula film, and so much more!
