Ep. 109 - Wojciech Kilar's 'Bram Stoker's Dracula'
It's Halloween!

Horror, Music, 20-Oct-2021
Did you know that was the only Dracula film to ever win Oscars? To us, this version of Dracula is our absolute favorite. Nothing tops Gary Oldman's version of this character and without question, Kilar's score is genius. From the costume design, Makeup, Art Direction, and Cinematography, the music with the imagery is unforgettable. Enjoy this first opening scene from the film, and if you haven't seen it - do so immediately!
