This week on The Ghostly Gallery Podcast, we’re sinking our teeth into two very different takes on the Dracula legend.
First, we travel back to 1960 with Hammer’s gothic classic The Brides of Dracula. Despite Dracula never appearing on screen, this chilling tale introduces us to Baron Meinster, Van Helsing’s return (Peter Cushing at his finest), and one of Hammer’s most atmospheric and underrated vampire films.
Then, we leap forward 40 years to the year 2000 with Wes Craven’s Dracula 2000. Starring Gerard Butler in an early role, Christopher Plummer as a modern-day Van Helsing, and a cast full of familiar faces, this Y2K horror mashup mixes gothic lore with turn-of-the-millennium flair.
Join us as we compare these two films, explore what worked (and what didn’t), and share our favorite performances, moments, and lasting impressions.
If you’re a fan of classic Hammer horror, gothic chills, or early 2000s vampire fun, this episode is for you!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
