Halloween Special: THE HORROR OF DRACULA (1958) with Christopher Lee

The James Bond Complex

Hello dear friends,

We welcome you to the castle of Count Dracula. Take off your coats and boots. It's a cold, wet night and the fire inside is so inviting. There are women to entertain you and our host will be arriving soon. You may never want to leave!

It's that time of year again. Late October can only mean one thing at The James Bond Complex: the Halloween Special 2022. Matt and Edgar make good on of their earliest Halloween Special ideas from a few years ago. The Hammer film vault is opened up and look who's inside: Christopher Lee as Dracula in THE HORROR OF DRACULA from 1958!

The hosts really sink their fangs into this one. It's such a nourishing, juicy film with so many topics. Among the terrifying sights and sounds in this ghoulish episode: awful Transylvanian accents, trying to remember what Roman Polanski's vampire film is called, trying to remember what Polanski's wife's name was, the defunct horror-sci-fi channel Scream (which became Dusk, which became something else), Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee being great friends in real life, loose adaptations of horror stories, vampirism upping one's libido levels, DRACULA: UNTOLD starring that dude who plays Tanner in Edgar's Bond 26, and much more!

So sit back, relax, and enjoy this horrifyingly great Halloween Special 2022. The leaves have turned yellow, orange, and blood red. Mmmm, blood red. Delicious.
