Welcome to Vampire Week

[valarltd]

Every October, I designate one week as vampire week here at the Den.

31 Day Challenge
12. How you act when watching a scary movie

It varies depending on how into the movie I am. I could be shouting "Stupid! You are too stupid to LIVE! You deserve to be eaten!" at the screen. I could be live-tweeting it. "Look out, Heroic Black Dude!" I could be overanalyzing it: "Since when do megapods range into Iowa?" or I could just be crocheting and following it. If I put my crochet down to watch... Then I'm really into it.


So, today, we kick Vampire Week off with the classic, because Tod Browning is a genius.

And I have a deep affection for this version:

And because Hammer had no sense, Christopher Lee didn't talk in most of his Dracula movies.

Creepy Pics, including several of my now-vampiric daughter:
