Vampires Then and Now…Cinsearae S.
I became smitten with vampires at a very young age. My first ‘encounter’ with vampires happened while I was still in elementary school, and it happened to be Frank Langella in Dracula (1979). This movie came out when I was just 5 years old, so when it happened to come on television, I was enraptured by him, yet creeped out by the grisliness of one of his living dead victims, but I didn’t let that stop me from just watching ‘him’. Frank gave Dracula an entirely romantic passionate persona that I couldn’t help but fall in love with, and this movie remains in my personal archive to this day. Frank had such class, refinement, and a debonair style that I can’t find in today’s versions of the same.
