Envision

Finally! My favorite horror movie.

Cynthia McDonald

I was so hoping you would watch this movie! One of my favorite movies this time of year!

Samantha Hughes

OMG, I just watched y'alls reaction to Interview with a Vampire and I thought you guys need to watch Bram Stoker's Dracula! This is one of my favorite movies.

Matt F

The title of "Count" is a position of nobility in the vast majority of European countries, and believe it or not there are still Counts today!

Kyndu

Great reaction guys. No comedy in this Horror story... or is it a really Love Story?

Saraka Smith

Asia and BJ, (Jonathan) Keanu Reeves’ character, his hair turned gray due to the torture, trauma and mental aguish he went through. It aged him significantly from the enormous amount of stress he had to endure.

Davey11

BJ sounding like Dwight Shrute wanting to be like Dracula 😂

Cynthia McDonald

I would love for you to watch ‘Wolf’ with Jack Nicholson and Michelle pfiffer this year too!

Kyndu

Yes, "Vlad the Impaler" known as "Dracula" was a real person who lived around the 1400's.

Kangdarius

Same. Boy I’m tired of seeing the same vampire movies get watched. No love for werewolf films. Id take that, bad moon, dog soldiers or ginger snaps over most of these vamp flicks. Could at least watch “vampires” with James woods. Something with some bite to it. Pun intended

Matthew

This was great! Haven’t seen this movie in awhile. Vlad the impaler. You should check out the van helsing movie that came out in 2004. Its great roo

MacGuffinStuff

Yep, sorry Asia, he was real. Vlad Teppich, Vlad the Impaler sounds like an Eastern European porn lord, but I'd say most of the people who lived in his COUNTY (a Count is in charge of a County, that's where county comes from, Europe is kind of small, we'd have a lot of Counts over here lol just wondering who's the Count of San Bernardino?! Count Methuseluh, just this old ass meth head who won't die.

MacGuffinStuff

No but Vlad The Impaler was real and unlike his younger brother Radu the Inhaler, not his name, it was Radu Dracul I think, he HATED the Turks, they both had to live in the capital with the Sultan as royal hostages when they were kids, but the custom was that the boys when they got to a certain age had the choice to go back home or stay, and it was common for the boys to stay because they actually liked it and would convert to Islam. Radu did exactly that and became in officer in the Sultan's army. Vlad did NOT, no one knows exactly why but he HATED the Turks. And he was probably a psychopath, he impaled villagers in his own lands and lined the road with their bodies on pikes to intimidate the Turkish soldiers. It worked, at what cost? The story I've heard is that a Turkish emissary came to his castle fo negotiate and Vlad had a bowl of blood on the table like he was going to drink it, he didn't, but that's where the rumor started that he drank his enemies blood. Bram Stoker was an Irish author who took that legend and created the Count Dracula character.

ASIA and BJ, in "Count Dracula," the word count is a title of nobility, indicating a European nobleman responsible for governing a specific region, similar to an earl in England. While the historical Vlad the Impaler was a prince, Bram Stoker chose the title "Count" for his fictional character to imply an aristocratic, land-owning nobleman with significant regional responsibility.

😆

Aaron Barlow

We won't call you a count Asia, we'll just remove the letter 'o' haha.

One of my fav movies of all time. A beautiful love/horror story. Renfield, the guy in the insane asylum, was the 1st guy that was sent to Draculas castle ( it wasn't shown in the film but it was mentioned ) and lost his mind. Then they sent Jonathan/Keanu Reeves to finish Renfields job.

Red

2003 Underworld I believe would a good pick for October

Vigorous Strongs

ASIA and BJ, Mr. R. M. Renfield is a fictional character from Bram Stoker's 1992 movie Dracula. As Count Dracula's mentally ill, fanatically devoted servant, or "familiar," Renfield plays a vital role in the story, revealing the nature of the vampire's power and serving as a tragic figure.

Vigorous Strongs

ASIA and BJ, in this 1992 film Dracula, Jonathan Harker's hair turns gray to symbolize the extreme trauma and life force he lost during his time at Castle Dracula. The movie uses the literal change as a visual metaphor for the psychological and physical toll of his experiences, which is a common trope in 19th-century literature to show that someone has undergone a harrowing ordeal.

Vigorous Strongs

ASIA and BJ, let's watch Van Helsing (2004) movie starring Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale following this movie, so you'd understand Gabriel Van Helsing side of the story and his origin on why Dracula feared him. Who's with me? Voice your opinions, please.

Vigorous Strongs

ASIA and BJ, this was a great origin movie. Thank you.

Vigorous Strongs

Hell, yeah!!! I will vote on UNDERWORLD (2003). Thanks for reminding me.

Vigorous Strongs

ASIA and BJ, Red your Patreon member, had mentioned here in the comments section that UNDERWORLD (2003) would be and I say a GREAT pick for October. Find it in your heart and time to watch Underworld (2003) movie.

Vigorous Strongs

MD, thank your VIP recommendation for this movie. I truly enjoyed it!!!

James Forrest

A fantastic film and very close to the source material. There's a great video on YouTube where someone does an analysis of what the most faithful adaptation of Dracula is and this came second after a BBC production which, frankly, I have got to see because it's almost bang on the book and it's one of my favourite books. But this is a REALLY excellent version.

Elizabeth DeMerie

I dont know but if Dracula stayed in Gary Oldman appearance and told me he crossed oceans of time to find me.....I think I am 100% in

Saraka Smith

Asia and BJ after Lucy gets beheaded- Oh Im not eatin that meat 🤣

Elizabeth DeMerie

And yes Asia Vlad the impaler was a real person and transylvania is still a real place lol.

Kimberly Tyda

First Dracula movie was in 1931. My favorite version was the one made in 1979. The female vampire gave me nightmares as a kid!

Heather C.

Ever seen "Silver Bullet"? Bad moon and ginger snaps terrified me along with the howling. Old school werewolves are insane.

Dan Gershgol

I hope you get around to watching Nosferatu 1979. It’s very creepy and has a certain atmosphere to it. Best to watch in the original German with English subtitles.

Stacey

Great movie!

Stacey

🙌 Yes‼️ 😊

Soph

The officeeeeee

Christine Kidder

Anthony Hopkins who plays Vanhelsing was Hannibal Lector in The Silence of the Lambs.

Phoenix

Gary Oldman is one of the best actors of our generation IMO. He's like a chameleon - from Sirius Black in Harry Potter, to Jim Gordon in The dark knight trilogy, to Dracula, to Winston Churchill who else can say they've played such pivotal roles flawlessly IMO? He's also in JFK With Kevin Costner and plays Lee Harvey Oswald - another great movie! He sure as hell deserved his knighthood 11 days ago!

Katie Davis

They titled this Bram Stoker's Dracula because Bram Stoker wrote the novel "Dracula" in 1897, and with this, Francis Ford Coppola tried to stay very, very close to the book - with characters, the plot, etc. To BJ's point, Bram Stoker based his novel on Vlad the Impaler (Vlad III) whose father fought against the Turks. He was actually from Wallachia (which is now Romania). That's where the real territory of Transylvania is today - it's a region of Romania.

Well when Jonathan was talking with Van Helsing he told him he was Impotent with fear and he doubted his mind all the time. It was fear that turned his hair gray. And Renfield was the first real estate agent to go to Draculas place and returned changed. Does that clarify a few details that went over both your heads? Excellent choice of a romance movie, probably my favorite rendition of Vampires, not no whimpy sparkling vampires like twilight. Nightflier is another good hidden gem that really didn't get noticed and Let the right one in is a good one as well. So far these horror movies are hitting the sweet spot for the holiday spirit. Waiting to see what others will be uploaded.

Fader

Vampires are not real but the was a guy name Vald the impeller who did the drink blood of enimies. He did not any have special

1:05:25 LOL.....Asia "Does it hurt or does it feel good?" BJ then laughs!! 😂😁😂

Heather

This one gives you some truth to the old tales of Vlad Tepes aka Vlad the Impaler but the vampire movies are only just getting started. The first one was Nosferatu which was in 1929 which was more alike to the lore then what hollywood protrayed but my favourite is 1931 Dracula staring Bela Lugosi.

Richard Zinns

To answer some of the questions you seem to have about vampires: Folkloric belief in vampires goes back several centuries at least, but the earliest work of vampire fiction is the 1819 short story The Vampyre by John William Polidori, whose vampire villain, Lord Ruthven, is a thinly disguised portrait of Polidori's resented employer, Lord Byron, and is the origin of the literary and film tradition of the vampire nobleman. Ruthven was to the nineteenth century what Dracula became to the twentieth: there were numerous literary and stage works about him, even a ballet. When Bram Stoker wrote Dracula in 1897, he knew almost nothing about the historical Dracula whom he portrayed as returning from the grave as a vampire; no literary or film versions of the story prior to the early 1970's made any use at all of the historical facts about the man. Stoker introduced several of the now familiar tropes about vampires, such as the ability to transform into bats or wolves, but his Dracula can still walk in the sunlight, though with weakened powers, just as in this film; the idea that sunlight can destroy a vampire derives from the 1922 German silent movie Nosferatu (of which last year's Nosferatu is the second remake), and must surely be inspired by troll, rather than vampire, folklore. There is no romantic element in Stoker's novel, though by 1897 standards there is plenty of sexual suggestiveness; the first use of which I'm aware of the idea of a vampire pursuing a woman because she seems to him to be a reincarnation of a lost love is in the 1972 movie Blacula, and the same device was used one year later in a television adaptation of Dracula. Hope this helps.

I've thought of a couple more points that might be of interest: Dracula mentions the order of the dragon - as a matter of history, the king of Hungary conferred the order of the dragon on Dracula's father, Vlad II, which is why he became known as Vlad Dracul, Vlad the Dragon. So naturally his son, even before coming to the throne, was known as Dracula, the little dragon or son of the dragon. As Stoker mentions in his novel, the word dracul can mean either dragon or devil; he clearly never bothered to research Dracula's actual history on this point, but simply seized on the term to connect Dracula symbolically with the devil, as he already certainly wanted to do. And Mina mentions in the movie a vision of a land beyond a great dark forest: this is a reference to the fact that "land beyond the forest" is the English translation of the name Transylvania.
