I've been feeling the urge to revisit the iconic, 1930s #Dracula with Lugosi for a while, and since it is #DraculaDay it seems like an approriate evening to pick this from my film library (I have a nice set of the 1930s and 40s Universal horror flicks, a perfect gift from a chum years ago).

Happy #DraculaDay to my fellow Gothic Fiends. Stoker's enormously influential tale first published on this day in 1897, and just like the Count himself, seemingly immortal, never out of print, endlessly adapted to stage, film, games, even to muppet form, a mythos endlessly malleable to fit each generation's fear and desires.

It's #DraculaDay 🧛‍♂️
Today, on May 26, is the anniversary of the publication of Bram Stoker’s Dracula - from 1897. This day has therefore been dubbed "Dracula Day".
I have written a very queer Dracula fanfiction with polyamory.

Cutting his teeth: how Bram Stoker found his inner Dracula in Scotland

“[Mike] Shepherd… believes the author deliberately pinpointed Cruden Bay, north of Aberdeen – then called Port Erroll, a small fishing village with a sandy beach & a windswept cliff-top fort named Slains Castle – as a retreat where he could concentrate on his writing”

The Scottish anthropologist who inspired Dracula

“More decidedly evil is the nosferatu, or vampire, in which every Roumanian peasant believes as firmly as he does in heaven or hell…”

—from THE LAND BEYOND THE FOREST: Facts, Figures, & Fancies from Transylvania (1888), by Airdrie’s own Emily Gerard. Gerard’s work was a key part of Bram Stoker’s research materials for Dracula.

The Scottish Anthropologist Who Inspired Dracula

You know Dracula, right? The book that spawned an entire industry of knickknacks, tourist attractions, bad jokes, films (almost as many as Sherlock Holmes), and pastiches? Do you ever wonder if any…
