We might see a representative from each side of the vampire fence duking it out (Hawke as sexy vampire and Dafoe as a Kinski).

In fact, there was a blog- maybe it's still in existence...it was <I>Dracula Blogged</I>, I believe- where the novel was transcribed as blog entries in chronological order. Very cool!<BR/><BR/>In college I took a class called something like Gothic and Grotesque in German Film and Literature and we had a big discussion about what type of vampire is scarier: the monster type, or the rogue type who can seduce you before killing you. I was practically the only one on the 'monster' side. The seducer is scary, maybe, in a cerebral way, but even then it's a stretch for me.<BR/><BR/>Stupid college.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-11922103737931079792007-06-26T18:34:00.000-04:002007-06-26T18:34:00.000-04:00As much as I love Kinski in the remake of Nosferat...As much as I love Kinski in the remake of Nosferatu and Bela, Christopher Lee will always be Dracula to me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-13824742458221676082007-06-26T17:46:00.000-04:002007-06-26T17:46:00.000-04:00I loved Melissa George ever since she played the c...I loved Melissa George ever since she played the character everyone else hated on 'Alias'.<BR/><BR/>And my copy of Killer Workout is sloc coming which is pissing me off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-43175507106751678742007-06-26T16:44:00.000-04:002007-06-26T16:44:00.000-04:00Good lord, I could write 5,000 words off the top o...Good lord, I could write 5,000 words off the top of my head based on your post. Suffice it to say, I too prefer the soulless evil demon to the suave sensitive tragic soul in evening wear (Gary Oldman, I'm looking at you. Don't get me started.)<BR/><BR/>That said, I give Béla Lugosi a pass, as he wasn't a cliché and his vampire is genuinely <I>weird</I> and soulless and evil.<BR/><BR/>Hie thee to a bookery, Stacie, and pick up Stoker's original <I>Dracula</I> and check it out. It's terrific, even now. It's an 1890s techno-thriller put together as an epistolarly novel (its one structural weakness), and its Dracula is the real deal. Totally evil and scary, and <I>must be destroyed!</I><BR/><BR/>(Oh, and German Expressionism: way cool. Schreck's Orlock: amazing. <I>Shadow of the Vampire</I> very, very entertaining, though a libel of the genuinely decent F.W. Murnau.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-65017019256758822102007-06-26T16:05:00.000-04:002007-06-26T16:05:00.000-04:00I love me some good vampy fun!I saw the trailer fo...I love me some good vampy fun!<BR/><BR/>I saw the trailer for 30 Days of Night when I went and saw Hostel 2 and it was the best trailer I saw that night.

Count me in. <BR/><BR/>I've always leaned on the creepy-rat-faced vampire side and not so much on the Keifer Sutherland-with-a-mullet side, myself.
