Bram Stoker's Dracula

[Thirteen_Black_Roses]

Yeah, but I think the 'Children of the Night' line is in every Dracula movie ever made. It was in the book. Might even have been in one of the Nosferatus but I don't really remember them. I was thrilled though when the Coppela became the first movie adaption I've seen to use the line 'Welcome to my home. Enter freely and of your own will, and leave some of the happiness you bring.' It made me a happy little geek. ^_^

Mel Brooks does do such good spoofs. I think I perfer Young Frankenstein to Dracula: DaLI, though. "Put. The candle. Back!"

I remember this book. I didn't think it was that difficult to read at all, except, yeah, the characters were a bit bland. Except for Dracula, and that was because he didn't get a character at all! Absolutely NO character development for him; that made me sad because he could have been someone really interesting to read about. ;_;

And also: it was so anti-climatic. They hack open Dracula's coffin, stab him and slice his neck before he could even get up. All in the same paragraph (maybe even sentence?), too. ;_; And he didn't even kill Morris; it was his gypsy cronies who did.

But something else I noticed about it...

Dracula is gay. That made my inner fangirl squeel with excitement. ^^; (That excitement was short-lived, though; nothing happened. ;_; )
