What if Dracula were based on a Freemason? No big deal, right? But what if Dr. Frankenstein was, too? And the Mummy films? And zombies—a strange blend of Freemasonry and other esoteric traditions? This week, we dive deep into the shadows of literature and film to uncover the hidden Masonic influences behind some of the world's most iconic horror figures. From vampiric immortality to Frankenstein's quest for forbidden knowledge, from the Mummy's resurrection to the zombie's moral symbolism, we'll explore how Masonic ideals of transformation, enlightenment, and the mysteries of life and death may have inspired the monsters that still haunt our imagination. Tune in… if you dare.
