    70. Dog Soldiers (Marshall, 2002) Wolves Are Not Bears

    Cultists, we're back with another Werewolf Wednesday episode! This time, it's Neil Marshall's Dog Soldiers going on the exam table. It's often described as Predator meets the Howling, and while that's accurate it may undersell it.

    68. Dracula: A Love Tale (Besson, 2025) Van Helpriest

    Cultists, let's extend our vampire theme one more episode and catch up with a Dracula adaptation that slipped by your Horror Hosts last year. Luc Besson's Dracula: A Love Tale, is more of an adaptation of Coppola's Dracula than it is of Bram Stoker's Novel but it does have some pretty unique takes on lore as well.

    67. Abigail (Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett, 2024) The Unusual Suspects

    Cultists 2024's Abigail isn't a "Remake" of Dracula's Daughter. To call it a "Reimagining" would even feel like a stretch. Instead it takes just the core concept of Dracula having a daughter and builds a blood splattered "Monster In The House" action comedy from it.

    66. Dracula's Daughter (Hillyer, 1936) Familiarize Van Helsing

    Cultists, there's only a handful of female Monsters in the Universal canon, and while The Bride gets most of the attention, Countess Zaleska should not be overlooked. Dracula's Daughter introduced the trope of the reluctant and conflicted vampire to the mythos and was pretty subversive for the Hayes Code era. So to celebrate the film's 90th anniversary, we're putting it on the Exam Table.

    64. The Mummy (Fisher, 1959) Egybberish

    Cultists, after the success of Curse Of Frankenstein and Horror of Dracula, Universal decided 'if you can't beat them, join them' and they entered into a partnership with Hammer Studios. The first film in that collaboration was 1959's The Mummy. It's not so much a remake as it is a Greatest Hits of plot elements from across the Mummy franchise.

    63. The Mummy (Freund, 1932) King of the Dead Mummies

    Cultists, eager to keep their hit streak going, Universal released The Mummy in 1932. Bringing back Frankenstein star Boris Karloff, and with Dracula cinematographer in the director's chair. The film capitalized on an Egyptian craze in the era, and spawned one of horror's most enduring franchises. So before the next iteration is released from its Tomb, let's put the original on the Exam Table.    Dissection Topic  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023245/?ref_=ext_shr  https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B002L5CN3E/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r  Unholy Sacrament  Love Potion #9, Milk Stout- Block 15 Brewing Company https://untp.beer/MMJ4z  Dark Tidings  Cold Iron Blood by David Graves https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/150527/cold-iron-blood Vault Of Darkness  Wonder Man, (Cretton and Guest, 2026) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21066182/?ref_=ext_shr  https://www.disneyplus.com/explore/articles/marvels-wonder-man  Alex Verus Series by Benedict Jacka https://benedictjacka.co.uk/alex-verus-series/    #themummy, #leecroninsthemummy, #mummy, #themummyreturns, #karlfreund, #boriskarloff, #karloff, #imhotep, #ardethbey, #ankhesenamun, #ancksunamun, #universalmonsters, #universalhorror, #classicmonsters, #darkuniverse, #universalstudios, #universalpictures, #universalmonstersuniverse, #classicmonsters, , #jackpierce,
