Count Dracula in the original novel was so many different things all woven together.
On the “allegory for real evil” side of things there’s:
Count Dracula as a relic from a dark and violent period of history
Count Dracula as an aristocrat sucking the life out of the lower classes
Count Dracula as a sexual predator
And on the “supernatural horror” side of things there’s:
Count Dracula as a disease that modern medicine cannot possibly explain or cure
Count Dracula as an unnatural bestial predator just barely maintaining the mask of humanity
Count Dracula stealing the free will of his victims and causing their personalities to die while their bodies continue to walk about
He’s a multilayered villain where every new layer is just a new kind of villainy.
But various adaptations over the past century have basically invented the idea of Dracula as a seductive corrupting force, decided to make that his whole deal, and then decided that Dracula must not be that bad and people in Victorian England were clearly only scared of him because they were scared of sexuality.
wwwWOOOOAAAAHHHHH what?
King of Prism is coming to Namja Town!?
I never thought I'd see that happen. Because it's Namja Town. You know, Bandai. A competitor. It's an indoor amusement-park-type place in Ikebukuro I used to go to all the time when they had Tales events and Aikatsu stuff.
I guess it's technically Attraction Fes, which is an event King of Prism is often featured in. But still. It's bizarre to see.
