Count Dracula
Manage episode 245273905 series 2544136
Over the course of the last several weeks, we’ve looked at Frankenstein’s Monster, the Headless Horseman, mummies, and werewolves, and today we’re rounding out our Halloween-themed episodes by looking at a monster that’s captivated audiences for over a hundred years— Count Dracula. Count Dracula is the invention of Bram Stoker, who featured the famous villain in his 1897 novel, Dracula, but vampires have existed— in some form— in nearly every culture throughout history. From Africa to Asia and Ancient Rome to Mesopotamia, pretty much everywhere you look you’ll find some form of vampiric creature, but Count Dracula, the Transylvanian count and undead, centuries old vampire, is really the grandfather of the creature we think of today.
Today’s episode features an excerpt from Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
This episode was researched and written by Lindsey Morse. Niall Cooper assists with writing and editing. Our theme music was composed by Graeme Ronald.
Today’s story was read by Verity Clayton, host of Scary Stories Podcast. Find Scary Stories Podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.
