Vampire A/V Club

10/31/20 • 73 min

We're going to the movies! Three vampire movies planted the seeds for the 20th century's gallery of glampires and we'll tackle them all in this episode and once we've taken them to the floor we'll cover them in hugs and kisses. It's time for some nookie with Nosferatu, drama with Dracula, and cold vampin' with Vampyr. Bestselling author, Grady Hendrix, continues his struggle to get you to buy his book, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, and to make his argument he throws in some plain talk about syphilis, sexually insatiable women, hideous war wounds, gas attacks, super-clean underwear, and poetry.

Saturday School 3: Not Draculas

Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you're crazy for making us write an essay debunking the legends of notorious real-life vampires, Vlad the Impaler and Elizabeth Bathory. Who turn out to have nothing to do with vampires after all.
This episode is written, narrated, and produced by Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. You can learn all his weaknesses at gradyhendrix.com.

Vampires: House of Hammer!

Welcome to the House of Hammer! This tiny British film studio resurrected Dracula in 1958 and gave movies the most iconic image of the vampire since Bela Lugosi in 1931! Then Dracula killed them dead.
Bestselling author, Grady Hendrix, continues his vain attempts to get you to buy his latest book, How to Sell a Haunted House, and to sweeten the deal he throws in lots of talk about the menace of dope, the illegal international trade in vampires, and he brings in an entire cast to do the voices, recruits Chris LaMartina of The WNUF Halloween Special fame to produce, and forcibly drafted Mike Walls of Audio Esoterica to engineer.
