Dracula and Frankenstein Go To Toei!

To celebrate Halloween, Byrd, Trev, Kevin and Lux talk about Toei Animation's Tomb of Dracula (1990) (aka Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned) and Monster of Frankenstein (1991) (aka Frankenstein: Legend of Terror), both collaborations with Marvel Comics to adapt their retrospective comic books. This pair of anime TV movies would also be the first animated films based on Marvel comic books. Monster of Frankenstein opted to ditch the comics and do another adaptation of the Mary Shelley novel, while Tomb of Dracula was more faithful to the comics, making for a crazy ride in which Dracula loses his powers, eats a hamburger, mugs a woman, battles his infant son who has turned into a grown man fueled by the power of angels, and falls in love with Satan's girlfriend. It is every bit as insane as it sounds. So what did the crew think of these classic monsters getting the Toei anime treatment? Listen and find out!
