We hope you enjoy this episode of Gold Shields, let us know how we did.
In 1897, the world was forever changed by the chilling presence of an immortal, undead specter: Dracula. Bram Stoker’s groundbreaking novel introduced readers to a character who would haunt our imaginations for over a century. This Halloween, we’re thrilled to welcome Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, who will take us deep into the shadows of his ancestor’s creation.

Dacre will share captivating stories and insights into the mind of a genius who crafted a tale that transcended time and genre, influencing countless adaptations and interpretations. From the flickering candlelight of Stoker's Victorian England to the blood-soaked scenes of modern cinema, we’ll unravel the enduring legacy of Dracula. Prepare yourself for a spine-tingling journey into the dark heart of horror, as we celebrate the man, the myth, and the monster this Halloween. Don’t miss this chance to delve into the enigmatic world of Dracula and discover why his legend continues to enthrall and terrify us to this day.
