Must Be Dreaming [ Dracula ]

[Ivyandstone]

Yes, he was a murderer, but Frank Langella's Dracula was a smokin' hot murderer. And I think sometimes he regretted what he had to do to survive -- didn't Lucy refer to him as the saddest, the kindest of all?

Sure, maybe she was under his spell at the time, but at the end she'd been released from it, & she was still smiling as she watched him make his getaway.

@Ivyandstone Well, they have lines that give him a motivation beyond "Hey, humans are food" in the 79 version. His people are dying (I am the last of my kind, I think he says, among other things). He's specifically in England for brides so he won't be the last of his kind-- and Lucy he intends to make his queen. It makes Dracula more relate-able to have his motivation be the survival of his 'species'-- his murders become acts of desperation and survival as well as evil.

Lawrence Olivier was Dr van Helsing, Dutch accent and all, in this film that starred Frank Langella as the vampire.

Well done! I have to stay away from Langella's DRACULA. In 1979, I bought tickets to ALL shows until it left the cinemas. Needless to say, you put all the greatness the film was into these frames! ~ Janet

Dracula & Evanescence.....could this be more perfect??

I must comment--at 0.18 there is such a great shot of Dracula with his cape spread out on the stairs like a bat. It appears that they suspended Frank Langella on the stairs for a few seconds, swooping down on Renfield before he actually undergoes metaphorphysis into a bat and bites Renfield for saying "I'm not a bloody machine". This is great entertainment but you have to watch it very fast. Did you film this in slow motion to get that shot?

It's true that Dracula is a monster and should not be forgotten, so good work of managing to make this video of Frank Langella's gothic hero approach to the role.

Great video. It was good point that the other videos didn't made him to look like a murderer. What's the name of the song? And what band/singer sings it?

[ladyvignette]

Evanescence. And I think it's just called "Must Be Dreaming." (It's been awhile since I made this.)

Thank you!
