I just shared the original pitch doc for @draculatdm.bsky.social over on my Patreon, for folks who are signed up for $5 or more! For anyone that's wanted the inside look at how I start thinking about a new show - and how I structured a pitch for it - check it out! www.patreon.com/posts/from-a...

If you're on the fence about listening to Hit Singles, the amazing Peter Coleman's here to tip you over! Peter acted opposite Evangeline Young, our lead in HS, on @draculatdm.bsky.social, so who better to speak to what an incredible job Evangeline does here? (Playing a wildly different character!)

The brilliant Evangeline Young played Mina in @draculatdm.bsky.social. She was Faith, our lead performer, in Hit Singles. She's an amazing actress, AND she's also an incredible singer/songwriter. And you can help her finish her first album! www.indiegogo.com/projects/eva...

D is for @draculatdm.bsky.social! Four-part adaptation of the classic Bram Stoker novel from Gabriel Urbina (Wolf 359). This series features some big twists on the original story, and with all roles played by two actors.

Last but not least, Peter Coleman return as Dracula, speaking about how great it is to have another incredible performance by Evangeline Young to hear! So look for that on the @draculatdm.bsky.social feed, children of the night! open.spotify.com/episode/2N4L...

We've been talking a lot about the people who made Hit Singles, but there's one set who's been conspicuously absent. Our five main lead performers. That's because we wanted to wait for the show to come out before we gushed about them, one each day this week. Starting with Evangeline Young.

A new series from DTDM creator Gabriel Urbina! Starring Evangeline Young, our very own Mina Harker. Coming to Audible April 10th!

Dracula: The Danse Macabre, Episode 3 - Experimental Purposes, from @draculatdm.bsky.social by @gabrielurbina.bsky.social Oh boy, this episode shook me to my core. Enjoy the macabre madness! #horrorpodcast #draculatdm #draculathedansemacabre #dracula (1/4)

The first episode of our Carmilla adaptation is now up on the @redracula.bsky.social feed! I'm so excited for everyone to listen.

DTDM’s very own Count Dracula/Jonathan Harker/Captain Skinsky/Coachman/Many others Perer Coleman is acting in a short play written hy show creator @gabrielurbina.bsky.social tonight! If you’re in New York and free tonight, come by Under St. Marks and check out Living Radio!

Do you want to see how the Mina and Dracula from @draculatdm.bsky.social would react to watching 2024's Nosferatu? I wrote a very silly script of them watching the movie and reacting to bits from it. Yes, to answer your question, I DO make them confront the ending.

I've made something very silly @draculatdm.bsky.social, fans! I've written a quick sketch of some moments that would happen as Mina and Count Dracula watched the 2024 version of Nosferatu! It's very silly, but it's been living rent-free in my head for weeks! www.patreon.com/posts/dtdm-e...

For anyone wondering how silly I made this. (The answer is very. I made it VERY silly.)

Happy pub day to the wonderful @edcrockerbooks.bsky.social! Fans of @redracula.bsky.social & @draculatdm.bsky.social you’re going to want to get on this for your next vamp fix! 🧛‍♀️

Just finished #DraculaTheDanseMacabre by @gabrielurbina.bsky.social and I can (positively) sum up my feelings thus:

Everyone go and listen to this, it's only 4 very bingeable episodes with world-class voice acting, writing and sound design. The dynamic between Mina and Dracula is irresistibly electric. And I was genuinely surprised and delighted by the twist at the end. Don't miss out!

Thank you to the brilliant @bobbys-snacks.bsky.social for this tremendous write-up of @draculatdm.bsky.social on this weekend's edition of his newsletter. Bob totally nails what we've been doing over at DTDM! Thank you so much for including our show. ❤️

Listen. Listen. The Picture of Dorian Gray is my Classic of All Time. I need to see this version of Mina fucking around in that world like I need air. Everyone PLEASE listen to Dracula: the Danse Macabre and help make my dreams come true 🥰

Me: I was genuinely surprised at the ultimate resolution of @draculatdm.bsky.social. I didn't expect Dracula and Mina to end up where they ended up. Literally all my favorite TV shows:

Now that all four episodes of @draculatdm.bsky.social are out, there's a lot of little details and planted seeds in the first four episodes that should land a bit differently now.

In honor of the full season of @draculatdm.bsky.social being out, it feels appropriate to share the annotations on my copy of Dracula every time Mina is asked to step out of the room so the men can handle the plot. 😅

Just finished the last episode of @draculatdm.bsky.social and it was so fucking good!!! Amazing work from @gabrielurbina.bsky.social @sarahshachat.bsky.social Alan Rodi, Jeffrey Nils, Evangeline Young (best Mina ever!) & Peter Coleman! I cannot wait to hear what you’ll create next!

This adaptation of Dracula has been the wildest of rides! I loved how this final part unfolded, with a fascinating take on this vampire's origin story.

Dawn breaks. Dracula: The Danse Macabre Starring Evangeline Young & Peter Coleman. Sound Design by Jeffrey Nils Gardner. Music by Alan Rodi. Script Editing by Sarah Shachat.

In seven days... The dance comes to an end. DRACULA: THE DANSE MACABRE EPISODE 4: THE BRIDE OF DRACULA Out December 25th, 2024

I am certainly not the first to note that, while Dracula has been done to (un)death, this #audiodrama stands out in the batricide: Dance Macabre by @gabrielurbina.bsky.social is an exceptionally skilful adaptation that feels new without gimmicks. The finale is upon us on Christmas Day, they say.

I've been plowing through @draculatdm.bsky.social's current episodes the last few days. As they near their finale, I'd highly recommend it to people who like spooky audiodramas.

"If it weren’t for Mina’s endurance, this story could’ve become a tragedy, but she manages to overcome everything he throws at her. She’s an incredibly strong character, who comes out of every trial even more resilient and determined." skyfullofpods.com/2024/12/15/a...

Goodness gracious me! Thank you so much to the brilliant @bobbys-snacks.bsky.social, audio fiction podcast's very own sheriff of good taste, for these kind, generous write-ups of both @draculatdm.bsky.social and my first episode of World Gone Wrong! 😍

As usual, I'm going to do a Creator Commentary for Episode 3 of @draculatdm.bsky.social on the one-week anniversary of its release over on my Patreon! Tune in Wednesday at 8:00 PM Eastern and we'll go through EXPERIMENTAL PURPOSES together! www.patreon.com/posts/creato...

Just got to hear the current cut of Episode 4 of @draculatdm.bsky.social, THE BRIDE OF DRACULA, and Boy. Oh boy. Nobody's ready for Christmas.

Really enjoying this adaptation of Dracula. The final episode on Christmas Day? A festive treat!

The preview that I'll give for DTDM 4 is this: Throughout the series, Evangeline and Peter have played so many different characters. In THE BRIDE OF DRACULA, they play... two. The whole thing is just Mina Harker and Count Dracula. No one else. The final face-off as the dance draws to a close.

A reminder that we post the recording scripts for all the DTDM scripts up on our website, for anyone that wants to read through them! See just how much cursing I put into the stage directions of the big moments. 😅

Listening to @redracula.bsky.social and @draculatdm.bsky.social is making me realise quite how little I knew about the story of Dracula and quite how dark the story is. I've not even listened to episode 3 of @draculatdm.bsky.social yet, I need to prep myself for those content warnings.

I love Dracula, but it feels like there’s been an over-saturation of it of late. HOWEVER. This adaptation takes that source material and makes it something fresh and exciting, and it is SO well suited to its format.
