We talked about this the first season but it's time to do it right. Over the next 6 weeks, we will talk about each movie and the spin-off! What are your thoughts on this franchise?

It's another installment of the Karnstein vampire drama from the Hammer Horror world!Go check out the two episodes that are YouTube only at The Beautiful Dead Podcast - YouTube

If you already listened to this - sorry! It was replaced with Sinners last week then reuploaded for now to align with the YouTube channel!!! If you haven't heard it.... you're in for a treat.... don't bother watching the movie... it is NOT worth it.

Everyone has been asking... so here it is!! Lena apologizes for her coughing.... she's trying so hard to get better for you all!!

It was the first episode of the podcast. Have my thoughts changed after 5 years?

This is the least romantic Dracula I have ever seen. I am convinced he hated women in this movie. Do you agree?

Might as well round it out and finish the trilogy! Will I enjoy it as much as I did the 2nd one?

I'd never watched it but it is time.......

It was done when I first started the podcast and didn't know what I wanted to do yet. Time to brin git back!

Lena turned this 3-hour movie into a 50-minute review..... you're welcome.

Is this the sexiest Dracula? Lena reviews what happens when a horror legend interprets a famous vampire and adds bugs.

If you've ever said "I wonder what a vampire movie with Jackie Chan would be like?" THIS IS THE ANSWER!

This is one from the first season and it's time to revisit it. Have you seen it recently? Do you think it holds up?

Lena found this DVD at a used record store... and wishes she'd never watched it.

Yes, Lena knows she did this already but she wants a redo on some of her older ones. This one deserved better so Lena revisited it. Make sure you're following The Beautiful Dead on Instagram to see picture from Orlando's Megacon!

What's worse than a bad movie? One you paid for and is written with the utter belief that they will, and deserve to, get a sequel.... buckle in for the quickest review on the history of this podcast!!

Ever have something that's supposed to be sexy just be the least sexy thing ever? That's what this movie feels like for Lena.... plus IMDB movie review titles are back!

If Jim Henson did a dark vampire comedy based on a 19th century short story .... you'd get this movie. You HAVE to check this out! Vampyre Tea Company can be found at www.vampyreteacompany.com
