Dracula's Daughter (1936) feat. Naomi Osborn

Drac's dead but his daughter very much wants to live. She seeks a cure for her bloodlust but thanks to the terrible men in her life, realizes happiness might lie in embracing her true vampiric nature. If you're thinking this sounds like a metaphor for sexual identity, you are correct. This Universal Monster movie explores LGBTQIA+ themes in groundbreaking, and problematic, ways. Plus talk on cinematic Garths, bow ties, and more. Then, Peter Lorre reviews a Bela Lugosi debacle called Invisible Ghost (1941). Special thanks to Naomi for joining it all.

Thanks for listening, friends! We'll see you next time for Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992).
