Can You Guess Idaho's Favorite Classic Horror Movie Villain?

The likes of Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolf Man have no business aping the Marvel “shared universe” structure in the first place. They're monsters! Let them monster! Any of our well-intentioned blogging-into-the-wind was too little, too late because the head of Universal has pretty much come and out said that they're taking the horror out of their horror icons.

Luke Evans, last seen in 'Fast and Furious 6' and 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,' leads his own blockbuster as the man who would soon be known to the world as the iconic vampire lord, Dracula.

After much time spent in development, NBC's Jonathan Rhys-Meyers starring 'Dracula' finally released its first trailer with its pickup announcement earlier this year. Now, following a brief preview of the re-imagined horror series this past week at Comic-Con 2013, NBC has made available the latest trailer for the Friday horrorfest, with a heaping helping of blood, and babes.

NBC's been rather quiet on the front of its upcoming straight-to-series adaptation 'Dracula,' little known other than 'The Tudors' star Jonothan Rhys-Meyers would take the title role for a series helmed by 'Carnivale' creator Dan Knauf. Now, new reports have emerged that recent (and future) 'Arrow' guest star Jessica De Gouw has joined the production in the role of the series' female lead Mina, bu

Columbia Pictures/American International Pictures/Children's Television Workshop Few monsters have appeared more on TV and film than Dracula. The character, who first appeared in Bram Stoker's novel way back in 1867, has long lapsed into the public domain. Thus, ...
