And now it's time for my Dracula adaptation hot takes:
Renfield is inevitably the best part of any Dracula adaptation because his actor is the only one they allow to have fun with it
I do not judge Dracula adaptations on their accuracy, but rather on the level of homoeroticism and/or campiness
With that said, the following things need to be featured in more adaptations:
Quincey. You have the opportunity to put a cowboy in your Dracula movie and you don't do it? For shame
Dracula running around doing chores at super-speed
Dracula wearing Jonathan's clothes (they do not fit and he looks ridiculous)
Dracula's stupid unfashionable hat
Mina geeking out about phonographs and traveling typewriters
The shovel
Seward getting annoyed about the amount of insects. Not disgusted, just annoyed.
Dracula opening the door to SURPRISE WOLVES
Dracula's trip to the zoo
Quincey shooting at bats
There just needs to be a scene of Van Helsing going on one of his endless Van Helsing monologues while everyone else zones out in their own distinct way
