How are you gonna complain that Nosferatu was too sexual as if Gothic literature didn't originate from social rebellion? As if Bram Stoker's novel didn't have sexual undertones? As if Nosferatu didn't have sexual undertones already? I understand if you didn't expect such upfront sexuality, but don't hate on the movie for it. If it's not for you, that's okay! Taboo topics aren't for everyone; Just remember that Gothic literature is meant to be taboo. A social rebellion. Expressing the dark, barbaric, animalistic, and shunned aspects of human nature. I haven't watched the film YET; But I have taken a course SPECIFICALLY on Gothic literature {and passed}, read Bram Stoker's Dracula, watched both original Nosferatu's multiple times, and immersed myself in Gothic literature for a while now. Gothic horror IS sexual in its essence. It's grotesque and disgusting. Revolting and shameful. That's the point. It's also sensual, emotional, despondent, and FULL of metaphors. It’s EROTIC. If the genre isn't for you, or if certain aspects aren't for you, that's okay. Everyone has their limits, everyone deserves their boundaries.

✨🧛🏻Happy Dracula Day!!!🧛🏻✨
Bram Stoker's novel enjoyed considerable success at the time of its publication, but the vehicle that really propelled Dracula to worldwide fame was the staggering number of cinematic adaptations.
Dracula is still used as a model for the development of countless characters from the most varied segments. From horror, romance, and even action, Dracula is a versatile figure.
With its pale skin, sharp fangs and pointed ears or a handsome face free of stereotypical features, the bloodsucking monster has persisted as the embodiment of the vampire archetype for over a century.
I wish I could round up all the faces that played him, but that's a big list. So here are some more names that brought Dracula to life:
• Frank Langella (Dracula, 1979).
• Leslie Nielsen (Dracula, 1995).
• Rudolf Martin (Buffy, 2000).
• Gerard Butler (Dracula, 2000).
• George Hamilton (Dracula, 1979).
• Adam Sandler (Hotel Transylvania, 2012).
• Nicholas Cage (Renfield, 2023).

I love that gothic literature is so often queer coded✯
This movie is my guilty pleasure and I need others to suffer living in my brain
If the Dracula cast had social media (shudders)
Dracula - Closeted webtoon reader, also likes BitLife and maybe he’d post the most unfunniest memes to the discord server that just has the Dracula cast in it.
Johnathan - Instagram filled with food pics + life blog/vlogger (I AM LIVING WITH AN ACTUAL VAMPIRE IN HIS SPOOKY CASTLE ((NOT CLICKBAIT)))
Mina - Audiobook youtuber, she’d have the best voice for it and she sure as hell could voice dramatic scenes well #girlboss + maybe a Facebook page with cute photos of her and Johnathan and a LOT of her and Lucy being cute and having fun.
Lucy - Twitch Sims Streamer, she seems like such a simmer… even sul sul becomes a vocal stim for her eventually
Helsing - Literally only uses Facebook to play those cute farming games + he would absolutely love playing those mystery click and find games

A Review on ‘Dracula’ by Bram Stoker
Genre: Gothic/Adventure
Rating: 3/4
Summary: An English solicitor named Jonathan Harker visits the Castle Dracula of Transylvania, Romania, where he meets the famous Count Dracula. By the day, he becomes aware of himself being held captive in the labyrinth like castle. In the meantime, Harker’s fiancée Mina Murray grows anxious of his return while noticing some great changes in her best friend, Lucy Westenra.
My Opinion: I was very excited about this book and waited till October to get the Halloween vibes. Unfortunately my exam date was set for October and I had to sneak some time to read it. Anyway, I was able to finish reading the book and liked it. The gothic environment was evident and at times it creeped me out. The environments of the castle and the graveyard were really creepy. The fact that the whole book was written in the format of letters, diaries and journals, kept me guessing. I did not particularly like any character. I didn’t feel emotionally connected to anyone. They seem too plain. A minor character of a mental patient named Renfield was the only one I found interesting. Another problem I struggled with was that the novel was too descriptive. It took a lot of my attention and will power to go through the whole book. But overall, the story was thrilling.
