everyone talks about the cowboy no one mentions Dracula has canonically a huge luxurious mustache I would care so much more about Dracula if people remembered to add the cowboy
I also love how Van Helsing isn’t this badass vampire hunter but just an adorable, eccentric little man who studies a lot about monsters. I pictured him as Guillermo Del Toro.
I really want the prestige Dracula spin-off about young folklorist Van Helsing researching and defending his dissertation.
Sorry, best I can do is sword-wielding Kate Beckinsale in a corset.
Kind of wild that Underworld and Van Helsing were only a year apart.
Isn't he a psychiatrist by training?
Psychologist I guess but he's actually a polymath so never mind
Yeah but wasn't Van Helsing his mentor?
Yeah, Van Helsing is a doctor of some sort. You were right, he’s a polymath
I feel like his doctorate is a lot like Doctor Dooms: not real.
Given Seward records his diary as audio, and Van Helsing's dialogue is written in his accent, Seward is canonically sitting down every night to do the most exaggerated impression of his old friend possible. And then Mina is like this slaps and just types it the same way
People portray him as wise but he’s literally just some goober
that’s perfect that’s perfect that’s perfect that’s perfect that’s perfect omg
so Coppola casting Anthony Hopkins was surprisingly close
Aaaaand now I need this movie.
I picture him as Brian Cox or similar.
So Fright Night got it right?
Cool
The styling in this movie was so good, and it was like the fourth best thing about it
That movie, OMG. I wanna marry the whole movie
I love the part where he's just fucking Lucy as a giant werewolf
Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula
Ah yes sorry to not include that detail. If you have never seen it you are in for a treat
Last time I brought this up someone pointed out that Lee plays him with grey hair and tache in Jesus Franco's 1970 Dracula
As far as a know no one's had him wearing a stupid old fashioned straw hat like he does in the novel when he arrives in England because he doesn't know anything about then modern customs
Someone needs to make a Borat Dracula
the friendliest and most attractive and the wittiest and the most charming and therefore the most dangerous
Also, a little wink to the "Paul Rudd is ageless" meme.
This too! He was described with a mustache, grey haired, and with stocky features.
I'm guilty of being partial to Bela Lugosi's look, though
So Blue Bloods Tom Selleck?
Bela a being composed of drip
from the description it's clear that he's supposed to look exactly like that painting of Vlad Tepes with bug eyes and rat fangs.
I also love that Frankenstein's Monster has a French accent in the book.
Mustache that turns white when he drinks blood too!
If I remember correctly...
Maybe not.
Why don't I check before posting? Why?
Or that they kill him with a kukri
And doesn't Harker specifically mention that he has hairy palms?
Officer Dracula, Transylvania PD
