About this episode
This episode explores how vampires adapted to the 1970s by transitioning to television and Broadway while becoming romantic figures.
As the '70s began, motion picture vampires were d-e-a-d dead. How would they survive the disco decade? By moving to the small screen, starring on Broadway, and trying to be funny. In the process, they fulfilled their true destiny and finally became romantic heroes. This episode was created and recorded by bestselling author, Grady Hendrix, Chris LaMartina of The WNUF Halloween Special , and sound engineer Mike Walls of Audio Esoterica.
