It's finally over. This stupid Horror Film List Series I started months ago is finally over. This one was the most brutal of all. There are more Dracula films listed but they either A. Didn't actually have Dracula in it. Or B. We're not Horror or Horror adjacent. So I didn't watch them.
I'm burnt out from the genre I am taking a sabbatical from Horror for awhile lol |

06.07.26 | i love bram stokers Dracula so much. it’s the perfect blend of camp, grandiosity, and seriousness. not even Keanu’s british accent can ruin it. |

06.07.26 | I remember Gerard Butler absolutely not fitting as Dracula in the 2000 movie, even more so than whoever did Dracula in Argento's opus. Although if I'm not wrong, Rutger Hauer plays the role in the sequels, must be a much better choice. Have you watched the 2020 Dracula mini-series with Klas Bang? And Blood for Dracula with Udo Kier? |

And I have 0 intention of doing so.
If I don't see that freaking vampire for 50 years it'll be TOO SOON. |

Agree, totally... also, I'd actually go further in saying that it's one of the incredibly rare examples where a Hollywood tacked-on love story, actually IMPROVES it beyond the source material.
I think that aspect was superbly handled, and brings far better motivations for the principle characters bring toed together throughout the story. |

06.09.26 | I don't care if it's technically not Dracula, but Shadow of the Vampire deserves to be highlighted. The only studio film directed by E. Elias Merhige (who is famous for his gnarly little indie Begotten, we don't count Suspect Zero) and has Willem Dafoe playing the hell out of Max Shreck. It's a fictionalized take on the production of Nosferatu (where Max Shreck is actually a vampire, a fact known only to the director). |

06.09.26 | Willem was also in the Eggers Nosferatu. A double dip of 'feratu |

06.09.26 | @Christbait Shadow of the Vampire is in the Nosferatu list. I separated the two. |
