pretty canyon painting

among the peaks bygone age

five passengers in coach

tourist lady reading from the book

local says tonight is bad news

nosferatu

to the virgin we pray

geese in the yard!

working people come out to see the coach

ladies hide behind windows

porter starts unloading all the luggage

this dude sounds American

he says not to take down his luggage

innkeeper wants him to wait

hes meeting another coach on Borgo pass at midnight

count draculus

count draculas name scares the hell out of these rubes

"no. you mustn't go there.

we people of the mountains believe that at the castle there are vampires, dracula and his wives, they take the form of wolves and bats. they leave their coffins at night and feed on the blood of the living."

fancy lad is unmoved, he is set on meeting the other coach

(this dude kind of reminds me of my brother - his bright-eyed desire to gain secret knowledge and meet interesting people)

innkeeper's wife gives him her crucifix

everyone is sad that hes going

foreboding clifftop castle

this crypt looks like state of decay

these shots are real arty, like a fellini joint

slow drac and his three spooky wives

we got us a real eye gore (is it Dracula? the implication in the book is that it was)

this dude has a real penetrating stare

spooky af

great fogslashdust effect as carriage rolls up the hill

wtf theres a bat over the horses and no driver

i dont think you could pay me to go through with this

this dude walks smoothly and silently

this dude has real elijah wood face

its mister renfield

every shot hes in makes him small and weak

its so 3D

real black lodge motherfucker right here

drac cant resist blood

but the crucifix freaks him out

renfield not looking too good

dracs fingers are so scary

renfields spooky smile after drac kills crew

renfield now at sewards sanitarium

drac lookin fly

cop whistles and pleather capes

drac mind controls lady at theater

introduces himself to rich moustacheman

his daugter Mina, miss lucy weston, and mina's husband Jonathan

drac compares his castle in transylvania to carfax abb

"to die, to be really dead. That must be glorious." mh: "oh but count dracula." dr: "there are far worse things awaiting man than death."

Lucy tells Mina shes hot for drac. Mina thinks she should chase someone normal

outside Westons place, drac hangs out like a creep

28:00 lucy in bed reading, bigass bat at the window. she doesnt notice it, drifts off. then bat enters and drac advanced with his scary claw fingies

he gets his face right up near lucys neck. so rapey

at seward sanitarium we see an auditorium where they examine Lucy's corpse.

"on the throat of each victim, the same two marks."

Martin the orderly chucks Renfields spider out the window. He is real weird about it

we see oldman doing experiences

gentlemen, we are dealing with the undead. yes nesferatu

professor tells mustache drac is def a vampire

renfield comes in, oldman tries to touch his hand. he recoils

"keep your filthy hands to yourself!"

someone thinks they heard a wolf

annnoying comedy orderly says

 "ee thinks theyre owlin back at him! hes cryzy!"

Van Helsing shoves wolfsbane in Rs face, hes like

"you know too much to live Van Helsing"

Renfield doesnt want to do something to Mina but doesnt explain what it is

Drac enters Mina's room, makes the grimace and leans forward

Mina talks about her dream thing the next day

room full of mist

lamp "a tiny spark in the fog"

"And then i saw two red eyes starinf at me and a white livid face came down out of the mist"

Harker tells her it was a dream

"it seemed as if all the life had been drained out of me"

Harker gaslights her

Van Helsing taps in

Harker claims she's hiding something

"is there anything the matter with your throat"

van helsing checks her neck

consent means nothing in 1931 apparently

bite showed up the morning after

"what could have caused them, Doctor?" "Count Dracula." interesting mashup

Mina isnt afraid of Drac?

Drac recognizes Van Helsings name

Count claims to have told her vampire stories

Harkers seems jealous of dracs attention

Van Helsing realizes Drac has no reflection

Dad tells her to go to bed, she objects

Drac reiterates, she goes with no complaint

VH shows Harker the mirror. Hes stunned

Van Helsing asks drac to look at the mirror. Drac reacts with fury and knocks it away

are dracs afraid of seeing themselves? are they ashamed of having no reflection? does it remind them they have no soul?
