Welcome to Vamp-tober! For this year’s October theme, Cinema on Tap will be taking a deep dive into vampire movies. To start, we’re going way back to the beginning, and discussing the OVs: 1922’s Nosferatu and 1931’s Dracula.
Both of these films are adaptations of Bram Stoker’s genre-defining novel and hugely important in film history. F.W. Murnau’s silent film has lived on as one of the most influential films of the silent era, while Tod Browning’s film kickstarted the Universal Monsters series and made an enduring impact on popular culture.
Is Max Schreck or Bela Lugosi the better vampire? Which is the superior film? Will Producer Lalo survive watching his first silent film? All these questions and more will be answered on the show!
Plus, get our quick review of The Substance and Scott’s thoughts on Megalopolis!
