153. The Return of Dracula (1958) with Christopher Page
[16x3] Forget crumbling European castles and foggy mountains. In The Return of Dracula, the Count trades Transylvania for the manicured lawns and white picket fences of small-town mid-1950s America.
Christopher Page of the Time Shifters podcast return to help us break down Francis Lederer’s strikingly suave, low-key performance, discuss the film's surprising use of a single, sudden splash of colour, and debate whether this suburban thriller paved the way for some modern vampire tropes.
