# Episode 493 – Dracula (2026)

When we were all in Louisville together for our live show, we took the opportunity to record a pair of Shoctober episodes all together in person, and this is the first one! What happens when the only version of _Dracula_ that Luc Besson seems to be familiar with is “Bram Stoker’s Dracula?” We get [DRACULA](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31434030/) (2026), which takes all the extra nonsense from the Coppola version and adds some more French nonsense on top of it.

 FLOP TV SEASON FOUR is underway! [Pick up a pass](https://theflophouse.simpletix.com) for individual episodes or the whole dang season! Next up (on 11/7), we’ll be talking GLADIATOR! If you miss us live, your ticket also buys access to an on-demand recording (through February, 2027)!
