Episode 12 - Halloween Special! Dracula. How do we understand the vampire? W/ the Horror Vanguard

In this Spooky Halloween Special we once again team up with Jon and Ash of the Horror Vanguard, as we delve into the darkest crypts of the Vampire Castle and... Find most fun, spooky and interesting readings! It is an incredible discussion on the vampire yesterday and today, and how we can both understand it, and oppose it when necessary. Beyond that, we discuss the rse of capitalism, colonialism, and, evidently, Gothic Marxism! We hope you enjoy this extra long episode to make up for our rushed routine and still make the spooky season valuable and worthwhile!
