Vampires

Not a crossover or a collab with a different game but A NEW CASTLEVANIA GAME FROM KONAMI??

I made a giant primer discussing every Castlevania game a couple months ago, so my love for the series should be evident. But Konami has been ignoring the franchise for years. I can't believe we're finally getting a new 2d metroidvania Castlevania game. I'm very excited. Very.

An interesting article explaining modern vampires.

Bram Stoker's Dracula was theatrically released in the United States on November 13, 1992 by Columbia Pictures. It received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Coppola's direction, the production values, and Oldman's performance,[7][8] although Reeves' performance was very heavily criticized.[9][10][11] The film opened at the top of the box office, grossing $215.9 million against its $40 million budget, and was nominated in four categories at the 65th Academy Awards, winning Best Costume Design for Eiko Ishioka, Best Sound Editing, and Best Makeup, while also being nominated for Best Art Direction.

This has been an oddity in the Castlevania fandom for a while; a stage-play musical based on a Castlevania game. Unfortunately, it was only in japanese. This is the first fan-translation of the stage play, allowing us poor english-speakers to finally watch it. I won't say whether it's good, but it's certainly interesting!

never heard of night patrol but some cool recs here

Hard to tell if this will be good, or campy, or cringe. It has all the typical "trailer" beats (action clips, pop music that pauses for a quip, etc.) and it uses "Bela Lugosi's Dead" as background music, which suggests cringe.

A group of vampires confronts the challenges of adapting to contemporary society while grappling with their own mortality, all while engaged in a conflict with a dangerous enemy.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the initial version, especially @usernamefactory@lemmy.ca who convinced me to add Nosferatus! Feel free to suggest further revisions, anyone!

Who do YOU think is the greatest of all film Draculas?!?

I was finishing up this image/meme when I suddenly remembered a bunch of other Draculas that could be there:

I was gonna just add them all in, but then I was like: is that too many images? Maybe I should remove some and keep it at 12? But which should I remove? I was paralyzed by fear and horror, and felt a mist rising around me, and in the distance a wolf howled. So I decided to leave it as a topic of discussion: WHICH SHOULD I ADD/REMOVE, IF ANY?

This was inspired by discussion during the recent meme full of vampire pics, when @railcar@midwest.social mentioned a bunch of Draculas at once.
