Amazing video! Love the old/new contrast. I think I have photos from my trips that match some of those shots. :) Massive hugs.

A possible topic for the Dracula one could concern how he got warped into a romantic figure. Seeing as how the book version employs the Vampire as Rape Metaphor concept, it's something I find rather unsettling.

Yes, we talk about this in my Gothic course. It is unsettling, isn't it? I'm with you!
