Dracula (1979)

Donald Pleasence was initially offered the role of the vampire hunter Professor Abraham Van Helsing, but rejected it, saying it was too similar to his role as Dr. Sam Loomis in Halloween (1978). He accepted the different role of Dr. Jack Seward instead.

Frank Langella’s Dracula

I am convinced that Frank Langella’s Dracula faked his own death in the 1979 Dracula movie. That version can walk about by day and the only reason the heroes believed daylight would kill him is because he assured the heroes he could die that way. Why infer such information to your enemies? Also, remember, he assured Lucy (actually the Mina character) that he would return for her once they stopped hunting him. I believe this is why she gives the strange smirk when his cape lifts up into the air at the end of the film. He faked his death. Finally I’m fairly certain this publicity photo is NOT set at night.
