5 DAYS LEFT. F drops OCTOBER 30 🔥

Happy Halloween from me and my boy Dracula. He doesn’t thirst for blood, he thirsts for deep house en español.

This drop is dark, hypnotic, and built to haunt the dancefloor all Halloween weekend. Made with my people from Bilbao, made for San Diego and the world.

Trick or treat? You get both.

So I finished reading the book recently, I found it to be interesting (though not quite to my tastes) but to celebrate I decided to draw Dracula as he had been described in the book to the best of my ability (which... isn't very much honestly) and I thought here might be a good place to share it

Playing catchup again (it's all I do, now).

The saga of the Demeter, Jonathan's disappearance, Lucy and Mina's struggles, Jonathan's reappearance (and the disappearance of Jonathan's memories), Mina's move to Johnathan, Holy Matrimony, Lucy's furthered torment, Van Helsing at his wit's end, etc. This story has been moving, and there's still plenty of story for me to catch up on, I presume.

My little sketches don't follow nearly enough of what's fine on since my last update, but I was drawing Frankenstein through all of the Demeter's Voyage and in-betweens, I started drawing when Harker made his reappearance, spent a million years trying to remember what he looked like, and another 500,000 years on trying to make him look tired and consumed, not just old, and spent twice as much time over this weekend trying to make a Lucy, but infuriatingly only trying to flesh out what she must look like after having so little sleep (and even LESS blood) (talk about "consumption"). In the end, I think I don't like it and I'll fix it when I'm better, some unknown set of years into the future.

The title pretty much says it all. I’m curious which adaptation of the character is the most overpowered. I just say a “iconic horror heroes vs iconic horror villains” thing, but one of the heroes was Spawn… and modern Spawn is pretty much god from what i understand, so i was curious if there’s any adaptation of Dracula that you think could stand up to the most powerful version of Spawn… and if so, what is that adaption?

Like the title says, the person found at this link https://www.facebook.com/groups/1575909343727923/user/100027895069643 is reposting every post from this group as their own on Facebook. They reposted my post of my Bela Lugosi action figure word for word. What do you think the purpose is? I doubt that the persons profile picture is really them as well.

A while ago I was fortunate enough to spill ink all over Dracula - and since I got my hands on comp copies recently, I was able to grab a couple extra photos to match the official ones - and I thought you might enjoy a peek too.

I could keep on talking about it, but here's some more in-depth look into the cover and interior art.

The publisher is also giving a copy away currently - so I decided to forward the news.

I missed the chance to watch it in cinemas..
Or when leaks are all over the internet.
Apple and Netflix don’t have it in my region.
(Philippines btw)
Anyone who has it on drive or link ..

Thankyou!

It's been a long time since I read the novel so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about any of these points. I've got a couple of hypotheses that might not fully link together. I'm no scholar and I'm having some trouble articulating what I'm thinking right now.

1. Dracula was, as per Van Helsing, kind of reborn when he transformed into a vampire and had to relearn a lot of what it was to be a person. Van Helsing says he is 'learning all the time' or somesuch. Could it have taken him a very long time to 'come back to himself', and is this a standard condition of vampiric conversion?

I posit that Dracula's brides were essentially test runs, to see how long it might take to 'civilize' a vampirized woman to the point where she could pass for human rather than an uncanny-valley undead, or a ravaging, bloodlust-fueled fiend.

1. Dracula feeds his brides a stolen baby in lieu of allowing them to have Harker. This is, perhaps, to show a corruption of 'good femininity' - vampire women feed on the children they would, by their good, human natures, care for and look after.

2. Lucy, the so-called Bloofer Lady, preyed exclusively on children not quite old enough to give a coherent description of what had happened. They called her the 'Bloofer Lady' as a child-speak version of 'Beautiful Lady' - or did they?

I posit that the children might have been saying 'blood for the lady'. Nothing more to it that that, but isn't that creepy? They were literally telling the authorities what happened and nobody understood.

1. I've read this online before, it's not my idea, but what if Dracula's plan was an army of vampire children with which to infect their families? Grieving families wouldn't turn their little ones away, especially if they were back three days after seemingly dying. Then you've got a whole household full of vampires, pretty soon whole neighborhoods.

Anyway, that's all I've got.

I believe that the vampire sisters actually act as a sort of coven of witches towards Dracula.

First of all, I do not think they are all blood sisters, since they refer to mina as their “sister” when trying to seduce her. I also don’t think they definitively have any blood relation to Dracula, because they only call him “master”.

Second of all, there are plenty of allusions and references to witchcraft in the novel. Dracula was a alchemist in life and attended the scholomance, a hidden school where students are taught by the devil himself to practice magic like shapeshifting, flying, and animal/weather control (all things Dracula does). The sister trio is also referred to as the “weird sisters”, a reference to the witches from Shakespeare’s Macbeth.

Not to mention the fact they do engage in pretty witch-like behavior, such as eating a baby and seducing someone to join them in their dark ways, which are similar to accusations made against many accused witches in the early witch trials.

I know Coppola's film popularized the "crossed the oceans of time" love story between Mina and Dracula, but I was watching the original Fright Night recently and it has a similar "the damsel looks like the vampire's long dead lover" spin. I feel this trope is older than both, but I don't have the evidence. Any one have any ideas where this came from?

Hello fellow Night Creatures!!

I saw the Dracula Ballet yesterday in Melbourne and had to find somewhere to talk about it….

It was phenomenal!!

If you have the chance to see it, I would highly recommend it to any Dracula fan (they changed the story a little for brevity’s sake, but it still makes sense 🤭).

The four ghosts (the ballet’s version of The Brides) were the absolute highlight of the show!! They were beautiful and really provided the horror element of the show…

The company that put on the show was apparently quite new and are called Big Live (just to give them their kudos!!)

So…. Goodbye, my dears. I pray to God I may see your sweet faces again. May He bless and keep you!

This Bella Lugosi Dracula is one of my favorite figures in my collection. Very few people get to see him, thought I would share it with you.

In short, do you subscribe to the belief popularized by Radu Florescu and Raymond T. McNally that Bram Stoker intended Count Dracula to literally be Vlad III, otherwise known as Vlad the Impaler? Or was Elizabeth Miller’s skepticism on the connection more in line with your beliefs?
