Would love to chat to some horror influencers/reviews about the Holmwood Foundation. To get Season Two funded we’re going to need a lot of help. Can anyone help? Please like/share!

A piece of character art for Count Dracula in the podcast Dracula: 2004. In the top left corner, gothic script reads "The Man Himself". Dracula has long dark hair with a long beard and moustache. He wears a long, ragged black cloak and has red eyes. Behind him is a lit, old-fashioned lantern, and he carries a series of old-fashioned keys on a long red ribbon. The colour scheme of the art is black and dark red.

We still have a limited amount of physical copies for Grotty Gobbo's Tea Grotto and Pirouette up for grabs!

I recommend buying both, relaxing with Grotty Gobbo's when you get enough stress from Pirouette!
