It’s a thankless task being a personal assistant. Still at least most of them get to retire, or die, to end their torment after what feels like several centuries. Not Renfield though, still sorting out dinner and dry-cleaning that cape for Dracula after literally several centuries. Can he finally step out of the shadow of… Renfield trailer: fighting tooth and claw to finally be his own man Read More
DRACULA 2000: episode 8 of the GERRYSTORM podcast
“The most seductive evil of all time has now been unleashed in ours,” says the poster, which is no way to talk about me and this episode’s guest.
