Enjoyed recording my fourth audio commentary last night, with fellow film historian Lee Gambin for Kino Lorber's upcoming Blu-ray release of Calvin Floyd's documentary feature IN SEARCH OF DRACULA (1975), narrated by and starring one of the screen's most iconic Counts, Christopher Lee. So much to talk about and try to cram in, a second commentary track could have easily been recorded for it. Always better to have too much material than not enough, of course. During a discussion of Dracula's infiltration into all corners of pop culture in the 70s (via breakfast cereals like Couny Chocula and the GROOVIE GHOULIES cartoon show), I was hoping to cover a few more things like the narrated story records, Dracula in 70s comic books and pulp paperbacks, as well as of course the infamous Genuine Soil from Dracula's Castle amulet sold via the pages of FAMOUS MONSTERS OF FILMLAND. Maybe in a follow-up article following the Blu-ray's release later this year...
