Title: Bram Stoker's Dracula - The Origin Story of Fiction's Most Iconic Vampire
#Dracula #Bramstoker - Zábava
May I say, please consider creating another channel where you adapt and summarize other books. I love this. It told the book, and gave us the story in such a wonderful way.
Please. This was great!
I once dressed as Dr. Abraham Van Helsing for Halloween.
No one at the party got it 😑
Dracula's schooling at Sholomance is ripe with untapped potential
I'm thankful I downloaded that video from Tale Foundry before they deleted it that went into depth on that subject I had no idea there was even a book sequel to Dracula until I saw that.
There’s a reason why Dracula is the king of vampires
Because his queens are all over any piece of flesh he brings home and he can't trust them? 😉
undead babies... women crawling up castle walls in the dark... the stories hero dashed against a rocky cliff after leaping to what he was sure was his death... his captor secretly draining the life from him as he slept. truly the utterings of a mad genius.
He was THE original fuckmothering vampire.
Dracula is by far, my most favourite "villain". Because he effectively denounced God, for love.
Or more, the love he lost. The only thing that stops him from completely losing his humanity, after all the slaughtering he did.
Now that's love!!! 👏👏
I know. I've also read Marvel Comics' Tomb of Dracula series.
the first encounter with Dracula I had was the cartoon Little Dracula with the sinister clove of garlic known as Garlic Man being Drac's archenemy
when my dad gave me that book as an adolecent in the 90s he told me "be careful, this ones scary. its more for adults". i told him "yeah right dad its a book. how scary could it be?". it was the most frightening thing i had ever read. i had to put it down several times to work up the courage to continue.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter was such a good movie!! 🎥 I just love the fact that there is an entire movie dedicated to the journey of Dracula from Romania 🇷🇴 to England 🏴 A must-see movie 😍👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
it was more entertaining than I was expecting tbh, the ending was awesome as well
I loved that Dracula was portrayed as a monster. Nothing romantic or sexy about him.
@@bulldogsbob that's like the problem tho he is a cunning and charming man, that's why he's scary. he is a deceptive gaslighter who possess supernatural abilities, i didnt like the portrayal of Dracula as a mindless monster..
@@maxnelson1660 He wasn’t mindless though. It pointed out that he was rationing the crew until he got to London.
That was Dracula unmasked.
I am Dracula "Blah Blah Blah"🧛🏻♂
I DON’T SAY “BLAH BLAH BLAH”!!!!! 🧛♂️
@@lukespillman1313Yes you did, "Blah Blah Blah"
Not fair you knew I would say that in my head, thanks now I'm talking to myself 😒😂
applause to the illustrator
Probably AI generated😂
You and the artist need to cover Frankenstein, 100%
I absolutely love Dracula by Bram Stoker ❤
Me too
It’s a great movie. Another great one is Dark Prince : The True Story of Dracula with Rudolph Martin .
How stupid! Stupidities!
This is great! Technically, it's adding to the list of adaptations even when discussing how endless are the adaptations. What I don't recall is Mina being described as "stacked," 😆 Seriously, though: love the artwork!
Mina looked good in "Dracula Dead and Loving It"
So stacked chix r ur bag
@@mc.girlsthatlgirls 😆
That's how you get people to click on your thumbnail these days, unfortunately.
At least the characters didn't have the "jaw unhinged with fake shock" look that some many channels adopt for their thumbnail pics. I unsubscribe from any channel when they feel the need to pander to the weak-minded by making stupid thumbnail faces.
Not that unnecessary over sexualization is all that great, but all media does that.
As far as the "mouth agape" thing, that is a particular 'internet video only' phenomenon. I don't recall ever seeing the weather report guy on TV pulling an "oh" face. Not that I've turned on a TV since 2001.
All these women are stacked, it's like a Russ Meyer flick
Excellent video! Honestly, it is saddening that everyone feels the need to put their own spin on this tale when the original story could, if presented properly, work just as well unchanged when put to film or television.
When I saw that this was 1 hour long I almost didn't click 😂 but then I started watching and was instantly hooked. Couldn't put my phone down til the end! It was great for comparing all the versions/adaptations of Dracula that I'd heard or watched and filling in the blanks. Thank you!
Now I want to see a video on Frankenstein from you guys please
Everyone forgets Count Dracula, king of vampires, lord of the night, master of the undead…was killed by a cowboy and a lawyer.
Thanks for making these videos! I haven’t read much mythology and folklore, but these are always great summaries and theories. Plus the artwork for these videos is really amazing!
I can say that such an image in the "teaser", it is impossible not to think of the "king of vampires"
Dracula is the Ultimate OG
I’m a huge fan of Bram Stokers book. I’ve also read the Swedish / Icelandic version which is also fantastic. I think ( just my opinion ) that Dracula is the last truly gothic English novel.
Many people, myself included, are fond of Le Fanu’s 1872 novella, Carmilla, which Stoker admired, which is thought to be a inspiration for Stoker to write Dracula. I would like to add my name to the legions of people who will tell you that Stoker did not base his character on Vlad, he was inspired by Vlad.
EDIT: I was so excited to see this particular episode that I just began to write this, while listening to it. I’m going to have to play this over again, but I look forward to this,👻.
Yes, I was very moved by the Carmella story. Not well known, I think, more of a long, short story.
I love the Demeter Voyage and Dracula Untold. I think those are the best two movies for Dracula
The brand new voyage of the Demeter or the one from a few years ago on Netflix called Dracula’s but goes over the exact story of the Demeter ? It was very nice.
Easily one of the best yes one of my fav movies period 💀💀
@@alexanderimmortal4354yeah. They are wildly good. ❤
@@Makkaru112 The new one but that other you mentioned I have to check out
Book dracula, penny dreadful iteration and dracula untold. Except that movie was ruined cuz they wanted it to be part of dark universe and they set it connected to more movies. Also just a lol I'd have if amunet and dracula were in dark universe
I'm still halfway through the story, but I feel so sad for Lucy.
You're a born story teller. Excellent retelling!
Finally the big guy himself.
This makes me happy that we’re getting a remake of Nosferatu by Robert eggers.
Plenty of people mentioning loving the artwork and not one person pointing out that Harker is basically Keanu Reeves?
Well he did play Jonathan in Dracula 1992
This was the first time I have ever heard of the original tale of Dracula. I can see where the inspiration for other stories that came after… another great video.
I stopped getting updates for this like a year ago, so I finally got around to make sure these were still being made. Awesome. Hope you're doing well.
Edit: double checked.
This was awesome! Thank you for making it!
This channel needs to be more popular! Your videos are amazing!
Beautiful art, as always
Count Dracula is absolutely amazing and I love this story.
I love that. I can't wait for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde told in this style.
this was excellent!! Thank you for making this story that much more accessible to everyone!!
Will you do Frankenstein ?
18:04 - Somebody watched the Final Voyage of the Demeter !
Isn't that incredible on how amazing the novel is and how old it is. I would say that this book has aged perfectly
Dracula holds a special place in my heart as my favorite work of fiction, with its timeless tale of immortal allure and the dance between darkness and humanity.
Fantastic reading, fantastic accent! Wow, that was fantastic. What a book!
This was really well done. I really enjoyed this. The book is a masterpiece and this served it so well
Awesome as always thanks really enjoy your videos!
This artist is fantastic! And your summary is so riveting I felt like I was watching a movie!
Thank you for sharing my favourite! Always love your videos!
Dracula...Nosferatu....Vampyr.....the very name still brings chills to heart of mortals.
This video is amazing ... carry on this good work!!!
and one day make batman videos
This is an excellent video with good narration and interesting artwork... Thank you.
I am pretty sure dracula (one of his inspiratiob are from abhartach) and brides were inspired from other fae-folk, like the leannán sídhe
And Baobhan sith.
ty, always wanted to read the og story but "one of those life things you never get around to". ty
Top quality video really enjoyed it. Keep it up fam🤘
who's disliking this smh great vid as always
I love vampires story
How could they identify blood type back then? Isn't it super dangerous,even deadly,to give a transfusion of the wrong blood type?
I have always wondered this..🤔
I think this is a case of Stocker not knowing that biological detail
It does depend on how much is tranfused as well as compatibility, but generally, yeah, it is pretty dangerous.
The amount transfused is fairly self-explanatory. Compatibility is along the same lines but does have a little more wiggle room. If the compatibility is more-or-less nonexistent (e.g. A+ to O-), then the danger is pretty high, and it being fatal is arguably probable. If there is some compatibility (e.g. O+ to O-), there could still be some danger, but the lethality risk is much lower, though it is still possible, particularly if the recipient has some sort of blood-borne condition.
As for blood types, for most parts of the world, O+ is the most common, so there is some degree of natural safety, but it is not much because of the second most common being A+ (a few Far Eastern nations have B+ as their second). In general, the "-" subtypes are uncommon if not rare, but they are always prevalent just enough to pose a not-insignificant risk if no prior screening is done.
There have been records of _some_ knowledge of blood compatibility prior to 1900, which is when the discovery of the ABO system is credited (it is not the only system, but it is the most utilized for transfusions). Testing was extremely basic - and not exactly aimed at identifying - but otherwise straightforward: take blood samples from two different people, mix them together, and if they did not turn into a solidifying mess after a certain amount of time, then it was reasonably safe to transfuse. Of course, the actual transfusion came with risks of its own, but generally, the worst possible outcomes were screened with this. Mind you, this was hardly foolproof (nothing is), but it certainly worked.
@@DavidRichardson153 Thanks..🙂
Very interesting,and informative comment 👍 appreciate ya!!
Lots of people died in the name of science.
Van Helsing probably knew it didn't matter anyway because she was turning
Good evening thank you for this great information. I appreciate your hard work.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Master has returned, that's what I'm talking about 💀💀💀
Beautiful story telling
Outstanding video thanks
Love this episode.
It's possible Bram Stoker heard the legend of the beautiful Irish vampire -- The Dearg-Due. Thank you, Mythology and Fiction Explained.
I love the artwork for this video.
Dracula is easily one of my favorite vampire books of all time. A truly timeless and ageless classic that has withstood the test of time. And it has been an inspiration for me since childhood.
Very well summarization of a beautifully written novel. It’s ironic how many movies of not only Dracula but other characters and even the Demeter have been adapted by Hollywood.👍🏽
Wow, what a magnum episode! 😎🧛♂🦇⚰🔥
My Favorite Childhood Novel ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic retelling. Thank you 👍
Love your content keep it up
"...their own unique spin on the story to varying levels of success."
Like being called drakacula / drakcola / darckola (iirc) in the same story, and reclaiming his vampire domain from Edward Cullein.
Thanks for reading the book for me, I was halfway on it. Great story.
❤ thank you great video
That was good, never heard the full story, but this abridged version is very good.
Superb adaptation ! 🙏
A creature of such weakness I couldn't bear a human life
Finally, it has beens years since you had anything new.
Great video!! 🎉
Fantastic!
Just in time for the holidays! XD
I miss ur videos. Can u upload more often please?
Best "audio comic book / audio book"
I recall that right after Dracula got the Thanos treatment his castle was said to have exploded.
Has anyone watch Arith Harger's "The Shamanic Vampire"? Bring more info to the parasitic subtle-body of the Malevolent shaman/necromancer/revenant (nordic necromandy are shamanism as well)
a good book to cover that is also like the necronomacreon is The King in Yellow another book like that or Shams al-Ma'arif
Are you going to do other gothic story summaries such as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Phantom of the Opera, and Frankenstein?
The 1992 film is still my favorite interpretation of Dracula.
Love the art style. What is it called
I love this book I read it every October. I even named my cat Mina.
Thank you very much for the video my fault I couldn't watch it until now I just got back to the house
Mina is such a bossbabe. Love her
love the book
Could you please make a video about Alchemy?
I don’t say “Blah blah blah”! 🧛♂️
Oooo Frankenstein next
Oh shit! A new video 🤓 lets get into it!
im watching The Voyage of the Demeter as i see this video :D
keep grinding.
Dracula: untold is the best for me
The number of views on this is going up. . and up and up while I'm watching it
Dracula was directly inspired by The Vampyre by John William Polidori written in 1819 when he was with Mary Shelly and Lord Byron at Lake Geneva competing to write the best horror story.
Are you gonna do anymore Greek myths on the podcast??? 🥲
"I True leader lifts others up." - Vlad III Tepes.
Can you do longer stories on your videos and podcast i love it but hate it when its onlyy 11 minutes long on a pdocast
Can do a video about witches and witchcraft.
