Happy Dracula Daily 2023, all! I'm guessing many followers already know there's a Dracula musical, but if you didn't, consider yourself informed. :D It's got music by Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll and Hyde, Scarlet Pimpernel, Death Note) and lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hampton (Sunset Boulevard together, a bunch of other stuff individually).

In fact, there's more than one! And that list, which goes to Wikipedia, is missing various international shows, like the Czech musical from 1995. I confess I couldn't tell you which are good; horror is just not my genre even when there's singing and dancing.

So musical reccers, what's your favorite musical adaptation of Dracula or and/or vampire lore? Doesn't have to be an actual stage show! As long as a vampire sings I'd say it counts.

Note: Obviously, if this is your first year on the Dracula Daily train you'll want to wait before checking out any of these so as to avoid spoilers. That's not to say that any of them are likely to be completely accurate to the book (though the Frank Wildhorn version really isn't the worst as adaptations go), but better safe than sorry, especially when the book has so many suspenseful twists if you don't know more than what you learned via cultural osmosis.

Most endings in Castlevania: At last… Lord Dracula has been defeated… it has been a grueling journey, but the land is saved. Now you can return to your loved ones.

Endings of Curse of Darkness and Order of Ecclesia: The Dark Lord may be defeated, but in the process you lost everything you held dear, your whole life, and yourself. Still, don't lose hope. You have a new place you can call home, and new people you can call family 🙂

Ending of Lament of Innocence:
