I was finishing up this image/meme when I suddenly remembered a bunch of other Draculas that could be there:

I was gonna just add them all in, but then I was like: is that too many images? Maybe I should remove some and keep it at 12? But which should I remove? I was paralyzed by fear and horror, and felt a mist rising around me, and in the distance a wolf howled. So I decided to leave it as a topic of discussion: WHICH SHOULD I ADD/REMOVE, IF ANY?

This was inspired by discussion during the recent meme full of vampire pics, when @railcar@midwest.social mentioned a bunch of Draculas at once.

If we're not counting Orlok as Dracula for technical reasons, I'm going with Gary Oldman. I have to give him high marks for performance, and for representation in the script. Hair and makeup, costume, direction... Oldman is what I think of when I hear "Dracula."

    Props to Oldman bc he helped design the character:

    Because Dracula's scenes did not start filming until very late into the production, Oldman had plenty of downtime to come up with additional ideas for his character. According to Coppola, "He'd [Oldman] get together with the makeup designer Greg Cannom and, before I knew it, we were going to have not just one monster but five monsters in the film."
