And welcome to the Dana Gould Hour Podcast\u2019s annual Halloween spectacular. Or spooktacular! Ha ha! Get it? Not spectacular but \u2013 okay, you get it.   What a show we have for you today. Mike McCarty and James Knight are brothers, even if they don\u2019t have the same last name. And they are the hosts of a new horror podcast called The Head, the Tail and the Whole Damn Thing. It\u2019s not your ordinary horror podcast as you will soon learn. I have known Mike forever. He is a special effects make-up artist who has worked on Blade Runner 2049, Mind Hunter, The Exorcist, The Orville, Stan Against Evil, if anyone remembers that show. James is an actor and educator but together, they share a love of all things creepy, and, most importantly, they are great guys and they\u2019re super funny. Mike McCarty and James Knight.  Also, Rob Zabrecky, or just Zabrecky, if you are a fan of magic, is here. Rob is an actor, and an author and a musician, a Valley kid, who has since gone on to become a professional illusionist and a walking encyclopedia if all things magic. Rob runs the Houdini seance at The Magic Castle and is here today to talk about the history of Midnight Spook Shows! He\u2019s also performing one at the Mayan Theater this month here in Los Angeles, but we have him right here, right now, Rob Zabrecky.  True Tales From Weirdsville takes us on a deep dive on Dracula, from Bram Stoker\u2019s book to Hamilton Dean\u2019s west end production in the 1920\u2019s all the way up to Gary Oldman\u2019s fright wig. We\u2019ll discuss which film version is closest to the book, and why, but also ask, how much does that actually matter?
