Awesome essay, Josh! It's so cool Dracula was your gateway into horror, what a great film to start with!

Thank you for joining me for Universal Horror Month! 🤘

I love the analysis of why people might've loved Dracula as much as they did. I never thought about it that way, but putting it in that political era as a synonym for politicians siphoning everything from the mere mortals makes a lot of sense.

It would be fascinating to be able to travel back in time and watch these movies as they were released and see what kind of impact they were making.

Oh, hell yes! I've said that a million times already, it must've been a crazy good experience!
