People have gotten sick of zombies?

I was expecting killer robots to come back first but maybe that was "Westworld".

Everything in cycles.

Dracula has never really faded, just bounced around from prominence in books to movies then to video games, then manga or comics.

His appeal is the same as Cthulu.

Honestly there are more scarier stuff. Working on a script now;

They walk among us.
They are inconspicuous!
They will steal from you and your children!
...when they are not killing them.
They lie and swear its the truth.
They will call you a Nazi when in fact they stand for everything the Nazis stood for.
They control your media and your childs education.

MARVELous crap presents, your worst nightmare

Netflix dropped a mini-series about the Count a couple of months ago. Evidently it was less than stellar.

Netflix’s new take on Dracula is here to suck the life out of vampire stories

The Sherlock team’s newest show will make you wonder if you ever liked Sherlock


There are two big problems that arise when you decide you’re going to tell a story about Dracula.

The first one is simple: he’s the most famous vampire in all of fiction, perhaps the most widely known horror villain in the world. This makes surprising people difficult.

The other is that everyone thinks they know what Dracula is about, so each take is battling against dozens of other ideas at any given moment that range from goofy cartoon characters to Hollywood legends. This generally means any Dracula portrayal should, at the very least, have a clear idea of what it wants to be, even if it isn’t very different. 

Dracula, the new Netflix / BBC series from the creators of Sherlock, absolutely does not.

I’m more interested in what the real vampires are up to.

“Dracula is Having a Pop-Culture Moment”

Dracula knows how popular culture sucks.

I dunno... I’ve always liked the ‘’giant bug’’ pictures of the 1950s. Movies like “Them’’ with James Arness and Joan Weldon(hubba hubba, what a doll.) Or “Tarantula’’ with Mara Corday, another hot dish.
