Re: Dracula Adaptations
Strangely, I don't think I've ever actually seen or heard a single adaptation of Dracula. I've read the book, of course, but for one reason or another, I've just never experienced the story in any form other than that of Bram Stoker's original (as published) text.

Re: Dracula Adaptations
Does it have to be adaptations of the original or are other Dracula stories allowed?

Re: Dracula Adaptations
Lake Of Dracula is a Hammer-style Japanese film worth seeing. He has golden eyes in it.
I was hoping for a more impressive lake to be featured prominently but I don't think it's named well.

The Frank Langella film isn't great but it has some good stuff in there.

Wait, of course I've seen an adaptation of Dracula. I own Herzog's Nosferatu on DVD, both in English and the original German language version.
What a mighty thing my memory is.

Re: Dracula Adaptations
Still haven't read Dracula yet. I have to wonder how much credit it and its adaptations get for a certain type of imagery that is my favourite horror style.

One of my favourite Dracula things is the Castlevania series of games, but Dracula himself was never important to me in the game. It's the castle as a source of endless wonders.

I've always enjoyed the Castlevania series more so for its story than its gameplay. For that reason, I'm really looking forward to the forthcoming Castlevania: Animated Series.

I Don't get that, I mean, aside from a few novel ideas I don't think the story was anything special, seemed like standard videogame padding. Surely the locations and creatures are what makes this type of game? Maybe you find the action too repetitive, because that's a big part of why I don't play games anymore.
I played 12 of them over a few years and I had a great time.

Symphony Of The Night's soundtrack seems to be head and shoulders above the rest. I own about 6 or 7 of the soundtracks and I think they got a bit too beat heavy.
