Bring Me the Axe! is a comedy podcast celebrating the best (and worst) horror from a time when the video store ruled the night. Every other week, brothers Bryan and Dave White (and the occasional guest) heed the call of nostalgia and evaluate the classic 70s and 80s horror movies they loved in their childhood to determine whether the movies are still relevant today or should be allowed to fade into obscurity.
This week we kick off Pride 2026 with a look at the sapphic doom of Dracula’s Daughter, the sequel to the landmark horror movie, 1931’s Dracula. The 30’s was rough on everyone being that we were smack dab in the middle of The Great Depression so taking wild chances on vanity projects was bad for business. Not to be outdone in the realm of bad business decisions, Universal Studios took on two ill-advised projects that put the future of the studio in jeopardy. With the Laemmle family out of the picture, the studio committed to a sequel to one of its biggest hits of the decade and put it in the hands of the horniest writers in Hollywood who asked what if our movie’s vampire was also haunted by her desire for women?
Dracula’s Daughter finds the titular woman in London immediately following the destruction of her father by Abraham Van Helsing. She steals his body, ritually destroys it, and then finds herself still unable to resist hunting London’s young women. Desperate, she turns to a psychiatrist to free her from her diabolical curse, being a lesbian.
