While it’s not the Renfield movie I would’ve made, it’s still a lot of fun. And more importantly, it’s great to see Renfield, one of my favorite horror characters, finally getting his due.
Join “The Invisible Dan” & “Monster Mike” as they discuss Nicolas Cage’s Dracula, some jaw-dropping special effects and stunt work, and so much more as they dive into Chris McKay’s wild, over-the-top, action-packed horror comedy, Renfield!

Thanks so much for listening!
Finally started listening to the excellent @monstermadepod.bsky.social podcast. Just when I thought I didn’t have anything left to learn about the Universal monsters, I find myself pausing constantly to take notes.
