And yet the storyline couldn't have been any more different from the book.
Renfield visits Count Dracula, where he goes permanantly insane. Dracula doesn't appear during the day, which is wrong in general (which actually is the same idea as the "vamp goes poof in the light" theory you blamed on Nosferatu). Dracula actually
stays with Harker and Van Helsing-very smart, yes and exactly how the book was :rolleyes: .
Listen, I'm not saying you don't know your stuff.
I am saying you don't seem to be open to ANYONE else's opinion and don't seem to realize that there are strong ideas supporting both films, neither of which are close to Stoker's vision.
So, yes: I DARE challenge
you.
