debating weather to make the character design of victor frankenstein the polar opposite of jonathan harker, or to make him the exact same guy except wetter and scrungier.

Dracula in The Film Daily (February 1. 1931)

ok so i finished reading ‘the powers of darkness’ (eg the swedish translation of dracula that basically threw out the plot and wrote fanfic instead) and even tho from a technical aspect it IS a superior book with consistent characterisation, exciting pacing, paves over all the plot holes, and is at least 80% scarier...i still prefer the original version with it’s Weird Choices (tm) and frankly bizarre dialogue. 

let this be a message to all creatives out there, you don’t have a write a perfect book for it to be iconic!!! genre-blind-and-deaf jonny harker REFUSING to believe he’s in a gothic horror until it literally bites him on the nose is ENDEARING to me. the unintentional comedy of Dracula running a one-man maid cafe in his castle is PEAK LITERATURE.

also TPOD kind of cuts off abruptly and glosses over Drac’s Adventures in London making the ending seem unsatisfying and rushed. the diary entries and newspaper clippings is what gives it the cool detective vibe!!! that was the whole point!!! I want my weird old (german?) uncle calling me “friend [insert name here]” while he gives me a medically unsound blood transfusion!!!! 

but most importantly, TPOD cut out mina and lucy’s bromance which is an unforgivable sin. 0/10. worst book ever.
