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!

We've been talking a lot about the people who made Hit Singles, but there's one set who's been conspicuously absent.

Our five main lead performers.

That's because we wanted to wait for the show to come out before we gushed about them, one each day this week.

Starting with Evangeline Young.

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.

Thank you to the brilliant @bobbys-snacks.bsky.social for this tremendous write-up of @draculatdm.bsky.social on this weekend's edition of his newsletter.

Bob totally nails what we've been doing over at DTDM! Thank you so much for including our show. ❤️

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.

Gabriel Urbina @gabrielurbina.com · Dec 29

Each short season would be a new book, and we'd see Mina (with her dark consultant whispering in her ear) tackle the Urbina remixes of the great horror literature of the 18th Century.

Frankenstein
The works of Poe
The King in Yellow
Dorian Gray
Dickens's Ghost Stories
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Me: I was genuinely surprised at the ultimate resolution of @draculatdm.bsky.social. I didn't expect Dracula and Mina to end up where they ended up.

Literally all my favorite TV shows:

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.

Harvey dressed up as Nosferatu from Episode 19 of Season 4 of Farscape.
