S03E11 - Dracula Book vs. Film Comparison

Sink your teeth into this one baby listeners! This week on The Book Is Better, we tackle the granddaddy of vampire lore: Dracula. From Bram Stoker’s surprisingly Christian, diary-driven nightmare to a century of wildly different film adaptations, we debate what actually makes this story work. We cover everything from creepy castles and plague ships to tragic love retcons, over-the-top sensuality, and why Mina deserves way more respect. It’s gothic, it’s chaotic, and it proves that sometimes the scariest thing isn’t the vampire—it’s what filmmakers do to the source material. Featuring hosts Tim Haynes, Donna Haynes, Rebekah Edwards, and T. Josiah Haynes. This podcast episode includes a family of four hosts reviewing the differences between Annihilation (the book) and Annihilation (the film). We also cover trivia about the film's creation and give our final verdicts, determining if the book was better than the film.
