"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"
Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

The Dracula Readthrough here on !vampires@lemmy.zip is coming to a close! Life will be totally different afterwards!
I watched Renfield and various Van Helsing movies though.
And I'd probably watch a movie called Mina Murray or Mina Harker, because she's badass in the book ๐ค
Untitled Mina Harker film: By March 2020, Karyn Kusama was hired to direct a film centered around Dracula, from a script co-written by Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay. The project was to be a joint-venture production, with Blumhouse Productions serving as the production studio.[203][204] The film has been described to be a "faithful adaptation" of Bram Stoker's Dracula, including a plot told from multiple perspectives.[205] The film was intended to take place in modern-day Los Angeles with the working title Mina Harker. Jasmine Cephas Jones was cast to play Mina Harker while Dracula would have used the alias of Vladimir, but in April 2022, three weeks prior to its principal photography start date, the project was cancelled by the associated studios due to creative differences with Kusama. At the time that it was shelved, Miramax had been intended to be one of the associated production studios.

๐ญ that sounds amazing, hopefully it will be de-shelved some time
She's also badass in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the comic book, the atrocious movie less so)
Mina Harker had a good run:

aw yeah she's a total badass as done by Moore and O'Neill.
I think the character in the movie was kinda cheesy but I don't remember.
Yeah, the name was familiar but I couldn't place it because I kept thinking of The Face of Boe instead...
I've lost hope to read it with the group again (T_T) I'll read again either next year for season correspondance or at some point when I'll have free time.
Ya didn't miss much just a lot about the Anglo-Americans running around and preparing for a confrontation. We're coming up to the end, just read today's entry and follow from there.
very brief summary
They followed Dracula to Romania, they think he's on a boat floating upstream towards his castle in Transylvania. They split into 3 groups, Van Haling and Mina went ahead to the castle, the others are chasing the boat, some on land and some by water.
