Review of Netflix's "Dracula"

This week, the Grue-Crew head back to Transylvania to revisit Vlad, the Impaler as he leaves his homeland for England and the new world. The three-part mini-series, DRACULA from show creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, is currently playing on Netflix and both celebrates the traditional Hammer-Film-Heavily-Influenced roots and pushes the boundaries for a bold, fresh new take.

Doc Rotten from Horror News Radio. Jeff Mohr from Decades of Horror: The Classic Era. And Crystal Cleveland, the Livin6Dead6irl from Decades of Horror: 1980s share their thoughts about this week's awesome collection of streaming horror films.
