For this second entry in this short series, Tom and Richard Lummis join forces to explore the 1931 movie Dracula. Count Dracula is one of the four classic Universal Pictures movie monsters from the 1930s, including the Wolfman, the Mummy, and Frankenstein’s Monster. What sets him apart from these other three?
