Double Murder Podcast Event: ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’ vs. ‘Twilight’
They’ve covered controversial movies. They’ve had controversial opinions (especially in regards to Rob Zombie). But now, Danny! and Tim have made their most controversial episode of Double Murder ever: “Bram Stoker’s Dracula vs. Twilight!!!”
Bram Stoker’s Dracula was not Francis Ford Coppola’s first horror movie, but it was certainly his grandest. It included an all-star cast (in spite of Keanu Reeves), including a masterful performance by Gary Oldman as Count Dracula. But how does it hold up over time, and does it have enough to stand up to the newcomer: Twilight? Released in 2008, Twilight caused quite a stir by mixing the vampire genre with teen romance. However, after grossing almost $400 million worldwide, it can be described as nothing short of a phenomenon. Has Stephanie Meyer’s modern take on the vampire genre come to de-throne Bram Stoker’s classic tale!?

‘Ebenezer’ Official Trailer – Ti West Turns Johnny Depp into ‘A Christmas Carol’ Icon Scrooge
Ti West (X, Pearl, MaXXXine) is back with the upcoming Ebenezer starring Johnny Depp, a fresh new take on the classic tale of A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens.
Johnny Depp will play Ebenezer Scrooge in Ti West’s Ebenezer, and Paramount is bringing the film to theaters on November 13, 2026. Watch the official trailer down below.
The tagline? “The name you know. The story you don’t.”
Andrea Riseborough (Possessor), Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings), Tramell Tillman (“Severance”), Rupert Grint (Harry Potter franchise), Daisy Ridley (Star Wars franchise), Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games franchise), Charlie Murphy (“Peaky Blinders”), Arthur Conti (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), and Ellie Bamber (“Willow”) also star.
Deadline had detailed in a recent report, “This version, a thrilling ghost story set in Dickens’ London, follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance. Stephen Deuters and Jason Forman to executive produce.”
Nathaniel Halpern wrote the adaptation for Ti West to direct.
Written by Charles Dickens, the classic tale of A Christmas Carol has been adapted for the screen countless times over the years, with notable film adaptations including Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, Scrooge (1970) starring Albert Finney, A Christmas Carol (1984) starring George C. Scott, Scrooged (1988) starring Bill Murray, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) starring Michael Caine, and A Christmas Carol (2009) starring Jim Carrey.
A Christmas Carol is classically a period piece ghost story. As Luiz H.C. wrote here on Bloody Disgusting, “Isn’t it weird how the single most influential piece of Christmas-related media is technically a horror story? One can even make the argument that Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol paved the way for the rise of Victorian Spiritualism during the following decade.”
