This week, the Pop Culture Historians begin their tribute to the Essential Universal Monster movies! First up: 1931’s DRACULA. Bela Lugosi’s iconic performance holds up almost 100 years later, but does the rest of the film? Next, it’s 1931’s FRANKENSTEIN. How amazing is Boris Karloff, eh? And does it say anything about the time these movies were made that the horror derives from unnatural extension of life? In between, we have an Intermission Special! What’s YOUR favorite Halloween candy?
