- Slam in the Back of a Dragula.
i think a lot about how in a lot of older (but also newer) media, sexual assault is treated seriously when the perpetrator is not white, not american, or is jewish or gay coded like. hmmm. maybe people gave Dracula too much credit for being "ahead of its time"
say what you will about new dracula media, but making him a british ex-christian lowers the xenophobic under and overtones of the story by a lot.

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"
