Part of our new series devoted to exploring the vampire in horror cinema, we discuss two odd vampire gems from the nineties that sit between horror and arthouse.
First up, Guillermo del Toro's debut feature Cronos (1993), a timeless vampire film that never actually uses the 'vampire' word. And we go peak nineties indie with Nadja (1994), which features an amazing soundtrack, cast and bonus cameo from executive producer David Lynch.
Joining us in this episode is Zena Dixon, Editor-in-Chief of Real Queen of Horror, to discuss these two oddball vampire gems.

This season is made possible with the support of Arrow Video. This week's pick is Brian De Palma's little-known goth rock opera Phantom of the Paradise.
Produced and presented by Anna Bogutskaya.
