Ep683: Hammerland: DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE
In this very special jaunt through Hammerland, Ian and Aaron celebrate a couple of birthdays while admiring the scenery of Dracula Has Risen from the Grave!
Freddie Francis' 1968 sequel to Dracula: Prince of Darkness is a different kind of Hammer film than the guys have seen so far. Focusing less on horror atmosphere and traditional ghouls-versus-good-guys action, Risen is more like a really compelling soap opera that happens to have vampires in it.
Our intrepid hosts explore this new direction for the Dracula films, and raise a lot of questions about lore, continuity, and how the material might evolve if...ahem...resurrected today!
"Hammerland" is our monthly look at the 1950s-1970s Hammer Studios horror films featuring Dracula and Frankenstein.
