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.

Yeah, I get it - an insane number of people have been Dracula, you need to limit the list somehow. But especially when we're less than a year out from the Egger's Nosferatu, I think people will really want to have that one available. And if that's on the list, it'd be weird not to include the original, since it's so historic and iconic.

So I think I'd include those two but, despite what I said about the names, maybe you can skip '79 just on the grounds that it's very aesthetically similar to the '22 version? Picturing the list those two side by side might feel redundant, whereas Egger's version has a much more distinct look.

But it's all debatable. And the end of the day, we've just been spoiled by too many Draculas.

    Awesome idea, thanks, I think I'll do that in the next version, probably in a couple weeks to give time for more feedback.
