''[[http://dinosaurdracula.com Dinosaur Dracula]]'' is a website created by Matt, who became well-known for his former site ''X-Entertainment''. This site is basically a sequel to that one.

Like X-Entertainment, the site mostly revolves around nostalgia - toys, games, commercials, food, etc, all written with an eye for the small things and a healthy dose of humor and insanity.
