I'd say that they share themes rather than being super Machen, but they're def there. Good performance by the lead too

The Righteous was good too. Understated and intimate occult horror with light supernatural elements

I enjoyed Mind, Body, Spirit. It had a lot of things I intrinsically like: scary book, weird rituals, someone gradually losing their mind. Actually had a bit of Machen inspiration (a bit The White People, a bit The Inmost Light)

Preppy Dracula is forced to contend with Jazz Band Van Helsing.

Castle Draculas: everyone plays a different kind of dracula (magic, sporty, silly, nerdy). You're moving into a new castle but all 13 floors are occupied by Van Helsings of all different varieties

When I talk to my gaming group about TTRPG stuff I realise how utterly inside baseball I am and I'd imagine it's grating.

Shame there's nothing I can do about it
