    Werewolves (2024)

    Dog Soldiers (2002)

    Awooooooooo & welcome to Werewolf Winter! It's the winter, and we're talking about werewolves, ya Lil Monsties! In this episode, we talk about the cult classic Dog Soldiers, where the premise is as simple & wonderful as "what if soldiers fought werewolves?" Sometimes genius doesn't have to be convoluted.

    Nosferatu (2024)

    The Monstie Men start 2025 by wrapping up their Nosferatu retrospective with Robert Eggers's take on Count Orlok! Has there ever been a vampire movie with this much spit or this many O-faces? Is this one a low-key comedy? Or is it an erotic gothic romance? There's a lot to say about this one, and we definitely talk about the mustache of it all.

    Dracula (1931) Remastered

    Okay, Mr Cook, we accept your surrender. That's right, Lil Monsties: after all this time, you can finally (re)listen to our original episode where the original trio (Gary, James, & Mike) talk about the OG Universal Monster: Dracula! It's a Christmas miracle! We hope you are enjoying the holiday season, we hope you enjoyed the episode, and we can't wait for you to hear what we have in store for next year. Note: the audio is rough, the format is still forming, but this is where it all began. You may ask yourself "why does it say remastered?" Astute catch there, Monstie. This is a cleaned up version of the original stream-of-conscious episode to make it a bit more enticing for your aural pleasure... plus we had to get rid of a couple of edits that perhaps maybe had licensed music... As always, follow the Monster Rally Podcast on social media, wherever you get your podcasts, and there's always room for more merch. Part of the Geekscape Network. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Shadow of the Vampire (2000)

    Well, everyone knows Max Shreck wasn't an actual vampire when they filmed Nosferatu. What this movie presupposes is... maybe he was? The Monstie Men talk about 2000's Shadow of the Vampire, a movie about the filming of the original Nosferatu set in a world where Count Orlock is a real vampire that FW Murnau hired under the guise of stage actor Max Shreck. Not only is it a wild one, but Willem Dafoe & John Malkovich are firing on all cylinders in this one. Get all your links for the Monster Rally (including podcatchers, social media, & merch) here.

    Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979)

    Gobble gobble, Lil Monsties! For this Thanksgiving (one of Gary's Top 5 Holidays), the Monstie Men are here to bring you a full meal of an episode, and here's a spoiler alert: this movie certainly isn't a turkey. We talk about Werner Herzog's retelling of the silent film classic with a modern (well...for the time) twist. And this time? This time they can legally call him Dracula . You can find James's brain rot coffin song here. Make sure you get all the Monster Rally links here. Part of the Geekscape Network. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922)

    The Monstie Men dip a toe into the Public Domain as they talk about the original Nosferatu, a silent German Expressionist black & white film that was supposed to be destroyed over a century ago. Luckily, some keen theater owner had kept a print to themselves, and piracy has let it proliferate over the years. Nosferatu is probably the creepiest monster we've covered yet, even if he's Temu Dracula. Get all the links for the Monster Rally Podcast, including social media, merch, and the show itself here.
