I was finishing up this image/meme when I suddenly remembered a bunch of other Draculas that could be there:

I was gonna just add them all in, but then I was like: is that too many images? Maybe I should remove some and keep it at 12? But which should I remove? I was paralyzed by fear and horror, and felt a mist rising around me, and in the distance a wolf howled. So I decided to leave it as a topic of discussion: WHICH SHOULD I ADD/REMOVE, IF ANY?

This was inspired by discussion during the recent meme full of vampire pics, when @[email protected] mentioned a bunch of Draculas at once.

    Lee, Langella, or Lugosi for me.

    Oldman was great but the movie around him barely needed tweaks to become the parody that is Nielsen’s version.

    Most of these flicks are so bad*, or so far removed from their source material, that it’s hard to even see them on the same list as the others

    * I mean, I enjoy them on their own, but this is quite far from a level playing field. Tbh, reading the first two rows after the title I thought this was a joke post

      ya, when I was making this I realized:

      • I hadn’t seen most of these movies
      • I had no interest in seeing most of these movies
      • the only one I really enjoyed, had seen multiple times, and wanted to see again was “Van Helsing”, and that was kindofa jokey/parody movie anyway

      On the other hand… Gerard Butler! Rutger Hauer! Nicolas Cage! (oops I spelled his name wrong up there) Those are some first-tier actors there. And it’s kinda fun to see how widely the movies vary.

        Blood for Dracula is very not good. Warhol also did a Frankenstein movie that similarly is mostly just uncomfortable to watch

          Thanks for the input. I’ve been convinced to add in the Nosferatus, so I guess I’ll move “Blood for Dracula” to the “alternates” list.

        I’d definitely recommend checking out Renfield. Cage and Hoult are both perfect in it, it’s a shame it didn’t do better…
