In Episode 2 of The Night Crew Podcast, we sink our teeth into one of the most iconic—and undead—figures in horror history: Dracula.

From the brutal legacy of Vlad the Impaler to the shadowy genius of Bram Stoker, this episode peels back the coffin lid to explore how Dracula went from medieval warlord to literary legend to pop culture icon.

We dive into gory historical tales (yes, there will be impalement), dissect the Victorian fears hidden in the pages of Dracula, and trace the count’s ever-evolving presence on screens big and small—from Bela Lugosi to Hotel Transylvania.

Whether you’re a fan of gothic horror, historical bloodbaths, or just curious about how a 15th-century prince became Halloween royalty, this one’s for you.
