in love w this photo of Béla’s gorgeous/scary makeup for the stage production of Dracula
he liked to do his own makeup for theater, so at some point in the 1930s he was backstage doing fire smokey winged eyeliner for his look as the lord of vampires

Edit to add: Had a lot of folks asking for a link for this, it was just on youtube and that upload has been taken down.
Found a bootleg of Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors. Obviously it’s going to be better live but….I’d say it was nice. Pleasant enough, friendly enough, and I love the reader’s theatre style staging. I would see this show.

The greatest production of Dracula I ever saw was called “Dracula: Fangs of Destiny”.
The play was produced by Questors Theatre in London and starred five people. Literally, just five. At least two people were playing double parts, and one of the actors was playing Dracula and Van Helsing.
Seriously, there was a moment where Dracula was harassing Jonathan and Quincey in Mina’s bedroom. The dialogue was as follows:
*Dracula flees through the window*
*brief pause for costume change time*
One of the guys: Where’s Van Helsing when you need him?!’
*very obviously out of breath Van Helsing comes running in out of the wings*
“I...I came as quick as I could”

Vampire Appreciation Week: Favorite vampire fiction(s) OR first vampire obsession
"A silver stake? A crucifix? What, did you think we haven't tried everything before? We've shot him, stabbed him, clubbed him, sprayed him with holy water, staked him through the heart, and STILL he lives! Do you understand? No-one knows how to kill Dracula!"
Van Helsing (2004), directed by Stephen Sommers
#vamp appreciation week 2023#van helsing#van helsing 2004#movieedit#moviegifs#filmgifs#cinemapix#vampireedit#this movie's cgi is so dated#but back when it first came out i was obsessed#especially with Dracula's brides' designs#sidenote but australians seem to play the wildest vampires#junkfooddaily

"All I see is a slave."
"And all I see is a fool."
#hellsing#alucard#my art#Dracula#THIS WAS SO HARD#GODS#ripping my hair out#how do you think Dracula would react to modern Alucard?#or vice versa?#Alucard fucking hates himself already#like that's canon#Dracula would be insulted at the prospect of being at someones mercy and Alucard would just see the pointless arrogant creature he used to b#I'm on Dracula's side simply because he was less annoying to render and draw#also I shamelessly traced over the casull#im not playing your stupid games old man

I’ve seen Astarion grouped in with Dracula a few times when he is CLEARLY Lucy-coded. Superpower of “everyone loves you and is going to murder the hell out of the vampire that did this to you.”

I was so confused during today’s Drac Daily about this part in particular
Because that??? Bro, that ain’t Hamlet.
I went digging and found someone attempting to explain it:
If it is referencing this scene then it’s the part in the play where Hamlet says he’s going to throw everything off the table of his mind and focus only on revenge (this does...not work out for him).
BUT THEN
SO BASICALLY
B A S I C A L L Y
Stoker’s dumb acting friend MISQUOTED SHAKESPEARE loudly and often enough that it wound up in this novel????????
#dracula#dracula daily#hamlet#shakespeare#i teach this play every january so i KNOW...I know that isn't in it!!!!!#mr stoker i understand you didn't have internet but did NO ONE double check you???
