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!)

“They should just make a rubber stamp that says, ‘The Long Story Short team has done it again!’ and save reviewers time. It doesn’t matter what genre they tackle, you know it’s going to be absolutely delightful, and it seems rom-com is no different. Hit Singles hooked me right away. Evangeline Young has this understated brilliance to her performance that makes Faith just so endearing and relatable, and the entire cast really shines as well. Whole heartedly recommend this show.”

- Peter Coleman, Actor, Dracula: The Danse Macabre

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...

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.

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

Sometime Later...

They’re still watching. Mina absentmindedly pops a chocolate into her mouth. Dracula now leans forward, resting his chin on the back of the seat next to Mina’s.

In the film, they’re getting their first proper look at Count Orlock.

COUNT DRACULA
Oh. Oh wow.

MINA
I know.

COUNT DRACULA (simultaneous)
He looks amazing.

MINA (simultaneous)
He looks hideous.

They exchange startled, outraged glances. What?

COUNT DRACULA
Oh, Mina, come on. Have a bit of taste. Look at him.

Dracula: The Danse Macabre
My gosh, the finales really haven’t stopped in these past two weeks, have they? Gabriel Urbina and team delivered the best classic vampire adaptation this holiday season, bar none. And yes, that is shade at Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, which I thought was mostly just okay as a movie, even if it was beautifully shot and well-performed. This show, on the other hand, pulled out all the stops at the very end. Mina Harker and The Count’s tête-à-tête has been delicious from the very beginning, but it’s here, in the finale, where the tables have fully turned and we understand who’s been in control all along. I so hope that the team finds a reason to dip their toes back into her story. Because lord knows, I’d keep tuning in if they did. And I’m sure you would too.

Gaius Baltar and the vision of Caprica Six he sees throughout Battlestar Galactica.

Geoffrey Tenant and the ghost of Oliver Welles standing on a stage in Slings and Arrows.

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. 😅

A passage about Mina being asked to step away from the plot. “Fuck you” is written next to it.

Dracula: The Danse Macabre
I will never tire of telling all of you how brilliant my friends are. In fact, that’s the entire thesis statement of my work, in this here snacks. But good god, what a tremendous year being had by Gabriel Urbina, Sarah Shachat, Evangeline Young, Peter Coleman, Jeffrey Nils Gardner, and Alan Rodi. This, the penultimate episode of their 4-part reimagining of Bram Stoker’s Dracula is what I’ve been waiting for all year long. Getting to follow Mina Parker, who has just discovered the greatest secret and weakness of the titular vampire, only to be thrown into a nightmarish asylum and treated as a pariah for the simple crime of being right. The performances here are, as should come as no surprise, fantastic. But what really gets me this time is the immaculate sound design of feral vampires on the run through the woods. It’s just perfect in every single way and you absolutely must listen.

World Gone Wrong
Guess what!? It’s still time to talk about the brilliance that is Gabriel Urbina! It’s time for the beginning of his stint on this incredible show, and to start things off? Let’s all get real weird together about the mythical and maniacal presence that is Leonard. This whole script was a joy, as should never surprise you when written by such a singular voice in our medium, but it was heightened in every single way by the sheer effortless chemistry shared by series stars Michael Turrentine and Hilary Williams. I am so excited to see what other wild journeys this next batch will force Malik and Jamie to live through. Lord knows, they’ll weather it together. Like the rest of us.

that you aren’t taking matters
between us seriously. It’s like
your heart’s not in it.

Let’s all take a BEAT to imagine the withering look she’s
giving him.

And suddenly, the runaway train comes to a STOP.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Whoa. Holy shit.
