Sleeping Sun [ Dracula ]

[Morgana888]

In 1980, I went to NYC for the first time in my life. I'd already fallen "in love" with Frank Langella. The only photo with which I came home was of the largest billboard on Times Square. Who was on it…Frank Langella and Sir Laurence Olivier. Enough said, thank you again for this magnificent video. The music is superb, the scenes outtakes wonderful… & again thank you! ~ JTD

[Lyubov91]

Frank Langella makes the most beautiful Dracula! I agree with valerysgirl that he is very Romanian looking and perfect for the role!

[SuzieGuru]

No one, NO ONE, can give us the true Dracula like Frank Langella can...and this video just proves that point even more. My gods, this was seductive! That little grin of his at 2:05, and then at 3:03...holy hell, I need a cold shower. Now.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making such great Dracula/Lucy videos!

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

Hey lets all dye our hair black, read Anne Rice novels, actually drink blood, pretend the world doesnt understand our dark little souls, live downtown on the street, and pretend we are something we are not. Something invented in the minds of fiction writers. GROW UP!

[bondmaus007]

@SCORNDOGGMELACH you shouldn't pretend your life.. you should live it REAL... you can ignore the others but pretending as if you would do sth. would just be lieying to yourself...but still nice idea :)

[Xebelan]

@SCORNDOGGMELACH She's a fan of a movie and a pairing in a movie. If anyone's overreacting it's you. I don't see anywhere in that description for this vid anything you mentioned. I certainly don't match any of it and I too appreciate the chemistry between these two characters when watching this movie. How about you grow up? People can like what they like without fitting in your narrow little prefit boxes.

[SCORNDOGGMELACH]

@Xebelan lol . Fair enough

[dubhmorag]

Great choice of scenes matched to the music. Thank you! I must have seen that movie 10 times the summer it came out. This IS the dracula stories women have always swooned over, why would any woman go to a monster. Dracula was supposed to be able to easily seduce. One good look at Frank Langella's eyes--well, he could've drained all MY blood!

[Morgana888]

Perfect pieces from DRACULA -1979. Was the song by CLANNAD? ~ Janet

[ladyvignette]

@Morgana888: Nightwish. =)

[mycrystalline]

This is just marvelous. I could be her in love.

[Heavymetalpunker92x]

Old school was something i mean it was something good u know!

Now they all try to ruin something u know the fag twillight movie and they also try to make it so normal which it sucks!

Dracula movies and Nosferatu was the best vamp movies ever!

Im like Lucy all girls make fun of me cuz i like real man with power u know the real vamps! 

[SirNat]

Where are the true vampires of those days?

[MrsAdely]

@SirNat

Yes, i agree. Where are the good old vampire?

Fuck Twilight and Co!!

[RitaAnne]

This is when sexy vampires could only come out and play at dark..

[scarfacefan19]

this video is amazing....favorited! :D

[Biscom]

Does the Count really love Lucy in this version?  I mean Really?

[ladyvignette]

Like the play production, Mina and Lucy's names have been switched.

[Lyubov91]

@ladyvignette Yes, I believe he does. :)

[Cooeeoh7]

@Biscom

Yes. Yes, he does.

[Biscom]

Oh my god! This is amazing! Cool!!! Very well done.

[KoFF1N]

Song from old Nightwish match perfectly with this video :) nice work

[Cooeeoh7]

Mere mortal men pale in comparison...*sigh*

[MrsAdely]

Robert Pattinson: go home!!

Forget Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse!

1000 Thumps down !!

Viva F. Mayne

Viva F. Langella

[MrsAdely]

My "Dracula" Fav is Ferdy Mayne, "Count of Krolock".

(1966 - Dance of the vampire )...

But Frank Langella was a extraordinariliy good too...

[cromgodofcimmerians]

RUBBISH FILM! Stoker did not write Dracula as a romantic idol, he is a monster with hairy palms, bad breath and bloodshot eyes! Sorry. I just had all the tragic, lonely inispid vampire crap. Christopher lee, now there was a good dracula!

[ladyvignette]

I've seen just about every version of Dracula there is. If you want a true-to-the-book version, rent the Louis Jourdan television miniseries by the BBC, from I think... the 80's? I own about half of them, but this particular Dracula is my favorite. I like the romantic spin. =)

[Carandini]

The Louis Jourdan version is definately the most accurate - right down to him tossing a baby in a bag to his wives. The Langella version has its good points, but I have to agree that the romantic elements were played a bit heavy. Certainly nowhere near as bad as the sparkley 'vampires' that we are suffering through these days. Somewhere along the line people forgot these things are dead - they're all messed up.

[Xebelan]

@Carandini But according to lore one of the things one had to fear from a vampire was being ravished. People forgot that the plumbing worked because of Anne Rice. If the plumbing did not work there would not be caveats to the husbands and wives of suspected vampires of being potentially sexed to death by their risen spouse (not eaten, sexed)--- and the dhampir (or child born of a vampire and normal person) would never have been part of the original mythology.

[nigellarose]

Surely it is down to artistic interpretation. Another take on a great story is refreshing...Frank Langella unforgettable as the most beautiful Dracula ever to exist.

[Akkatlah]

Totally agree with you. I want my vampires back and I want them as the bloodthirsty killers they are supposed to be.

[ladyvignette]

Have you seen Underworld? :)

[Akkatlah]

Yeah beautiful heroine and handsome male co-star. That's not what I'm talking about. I want John Carpenter's Vampires style vamps.

[ladyvignette]

Actually, my favorite Underworld is the prequel, and my favorite vampire from the franchise is Viktor. Now that's an old-school vampire for you. =)

[shockingalternative]

brings back so many memories, watching this and i'm only 26! lol. Frank is gorgeous.. still baffling to think his ex-girlfriend in real life was whoopie goldberg.. dracula and whoopie is a strange combo, indeed! lol

[Lyubov91]

I want to do him.

[jimmyb227]

I think this is one of the best posting I have seen yet on You Tube!

[ladyvignette]

Thank you. =D

[WhiteWingedAngelGirl]

oh my fricken god he's so hot!

[ladyvignette]

That he is. <3

[valerysgirl]

This is the best of all of them. More seductive like it was suppose to be, His eyes do it for me. His features makes the best dracula anyway. He looks more Romanian or Transylvania n. Dracula is suppose to be tall, slim, dark and not buff like a body builder, 3 day old beard, wide jaws and modern. More sophisticated, charming and elegant are the best roles for Dracula. Vampires can be anything, but Dracula is suppose to be seductive and mesmerizing.

[Lyubov91]

Yes, I noticed that Frank does have a distinct Romanian look. He could easily pass as someone from that part of the world.

[MarkieSparkle]

This is my favorite vampire movie of all time. And this video is wonderful!

[altozyema]

Yep-this is definately one of the overlooked Dracula movies.......Its great though.And Frank Langella still looks absolutely gorgeous (lol)

[Casinoangel33]

Awesome job of syncing the lyrics of the song with scenes of the movie! This is my favorite Nightwish song! I also think this movie is very underrated compared to Bram Stroker's 1992 version. I keep replaying this one every day.

[Talki200]

This video..was the epidemy of Awesome...you know...the that all you can do is *GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSP*

[mysticmagic4760]

Very beautiful video. One of my favorite films.

[nigellarose]

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

[foxeni]

mmmmm, just have to come back to this video often. Too bad they don't make actors or movies these days that are this sexy without just being gross.

[simmer9431]

I want to see this movie so bad!! Do you think they have it on DVD?

[ladyvignette]

Yes, it is on DVD. =)

[fallingrain034]

I would share him with all of you if i could just have him one time! He's too good to keep to only one! I love Him!

[nigellarose]

It is so lovely to have this video back on You Tube, missed it so much. Frank Langella is the most gorgeous man ever!

[frrancuzka]

Absolutely !!

[Knoedelhans]

The Music: Nightwish "sleeping sun"

[21gillian]

[demonicote]

[SkullCowboy333]

No words are enough.

[GreatRedDragon53545]

Wonderful job! BRAVO!

[Shoysrock]

Wow, this song matches the movie PERFECTLY!! O_O

[angelishka]

[ncbotfish]

This video must be laced w/ something b/c I cannot stop watching it!

[ladyvignette]

That drug? Is called LANGELLA! ;)

[Dalkveron]

I'm a fan of this movie and I must say: congratulations!!! Great video

[ncbotfish]

Beautiful! And love the song! Who sings it?

[ladyvignette]

Nightwish.

[pleomaxell]

In a word.....Magnificent!

[kriitikko]

Great video!

When it comes to more romantic version of Dracula, Frank Langella is the best! Far better than Gary Oldman imho.

[Ivyandstone]

Gary Oldman wasn't bad, but NOBODY tops Frank Langella.

[AWCreations]

Lady you got talent! This is beautifully done!
