The Dogcast: “Dracula” From Orson Welles And The Mercury Theater On The Air For Your Old Radio Fun!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and in honor of the entertaining “Renfield” opening today I thought I would bring the definitive old radio version of “Dracula” from Orson Welles and The Mercury Theater On The Air! Broadcast before the infamous “War Of The Worlds” show, this one is equally as good, especially the suspense and atmosphere during the voyage of the Demeter! It’s old radio theater of the mind done right and a terrific representation of Stoker’s legendary count! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
“Dracula – The Mercury Theater On The Air – 7/11/1938
The Dogcast: The Original Vampire Radio Drama “Dracula” For Your Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a hankering for a good old fashioned vampire drama after watching the fun Netflix film “Day Shift.” A fun flick but the vampires (save for the boss lady) were a little underwhelming. I’m correcting that oversight with the best radio adaptation ever to air from none other than Orson Wells and The Mercury Theater On The Air. This takes place the same year as the classic “War Of The Worlds” broadcast but a few months earlier. In many ways it’s just as good as “War Of The Worlds” and in some ways, even better. The captain’s log detailing the terrifying events on The Demeter crossing from Transylvania to London is one of the most chilling dramatizations in radio. So enjoy and feel free to comment either below or on my Facebook Page. So Sayeth The Kendog!
