  1. Victorian sensibilities are so weird now like in the movie version, Dracula's true love for his mistress looks amazing, and poor Mina marrying the frigid Harker in the end is the rear horror, I rooted for Oldman over Reeves seriously... Literally the Mel Brooks parody roasted Jonathan's character being taught to repress passion (and Keanu's poor acting) badly while making fun of the Bri'ish in the process.

  2. Harker, holding back laugh: "SO MUCH BLOOD!" Mel Brooks: "SHE JUST ATE!!!" puts newspapers around

  3. This, and I wish they do an overview about that competition in Geneva that gave us both vampires AND Frankenstein. Imagine, a party at Lord Byron's cottage failing due to bad weather, leading to most famous romantic poets (Percy Shelley got so scared he jumped out of the room) and their gfs Mary and Claire, telling each other scary stories while doctor Polidori remembered enough to write a novel later. Literally most important parts of horror pop culture were created due to weather shenanigans making a bunch of bored, creative people try to scare each other. Original vampire stories were picked up by Byron from the Levant, and he kinda hated when they become popular, lol.

  4. Finally! Now do Polidori's the Vampyre and explain its link to Frankenstein. Also Carmilla so we can link Dracula, Fran and Elizabeth Bathory together.

  5.  @randalthor741  Dracula and Addams Family have the best love stories somehow.

  6. Frankenstein is also epistolary... they just had a thing for that in 19th century horror.

  7. I take your Jane Eyre and raise you another Bronte sister with Wuthering Heights!

  8. Well Frankenstein was written by a woman and Jekyll and Mr. Hyde didn't have major female characters so there's that. From what I read, Stevenson didn't know how to write women so in Treasure Island the only girl is lead character's mother (though you can retell it genderswapping the boy with a tomboy and story won't change), and The Black Arrow does exactly that, lead heroine is crossdressing as a boy. So Jekyll and Hyde's author was more careful when it comes to 'men writing women' thing than Stoker.

  9. There are still more people watched the movie. "So much blood..." – "She JUST ATE!!!" puts newspapers around and hides behind wall "...she's almost dead!" – "SHE'S DEAD ENOUGH!"
