Bela Lugosi in stage production of Dracula , c. 1927

"When I was playing Dracula on stage, my audiences were women. Women. There were men, too. Escorts the women had brought with them. For reasons only their dark subconscious knew. In order to establish a subtle sex intimacy. Contact. In order to cling and to feel the sensuous thrill of protection. Men did not come in of their own volition. Women did. Came - and knew an ecstasy dragged from the depths of unspeakable things. Came - and then came back again. And again. Women wrote me letters. Ah, what letters women wrote me! Young girls. Women from seventeen to thirty. Letters of a horrible hunger. Asking me if I cared only for a maiden's blood. Asking me if I had done the play because I was in reality that sort of Thing. And through these letters, couched in terms of shuddering, transparent fear, there ran the hideous note of - hope,

They hoped that I was Dracula. They hoped that my love was the love of Dracula. They gloated over the Thing they dared not understand... It was the embrace of Death their subconscious was yearning for. Death, the final triumphant lover. It made me know that the women of America are unsatisfied, famished, craving sensation, even though it be the sensation of death draining the red blood of life." - Bela Lugosi

From Motion Picture Classic, January 1931.

vampires can't digest anything other than blood. most of them have probably forgotten what food tastes like.

that's why they lick the sweet flavored chapstick from your lips when they kiss you.

Note: These are just the ones I have personally watched so far. There are so many vampire movies and so little time. It's not easy being a horror girl in the year of our lord 2024. I wish the economy would slow down so I had more downtime to focus on the real priority of my life: Vampires.

And most importantly if you have any suggestions or recommendations please let me know I'll love you forever darlings<3<3<3<3

so sick and twisted that vampires aren’t real because if vampires were real I wouldn’t have any more problems. mostly because I would be having gay vampire sex all night. and sleeping during the day. because id be a vampire.
