True, in the time where people believe in all kinds of superstitious things, the story might have been pretty close to home. These days, a lot of the elements are just ridiculous (the garlic, the holy wafer…) Interesting fact about Van Helsing. I saw a picture of Stoker on the net. Sounds plausible to me.

I actually agree with you, that the part in the castle was the best part and the whole back and forth with Lucy got to be a bit much. I also tried to take into account the time during which it was written though, and I imagine this would have been quite a suspenseful read. I didn’t realize that Van Helsing was from the original story either, so I was excited when he showed up. Apparently, he is based quite a bit on Stoker himself, in his physical appearance anyway.

Aww, I’m sorry you were disappointed. But at least you’re in good company with Jackie! :-D

And you can call me Fizzy…other people have been known to. I also answer to Jill.

I hope you enjoy the movie…I’ve never seen it. Maybe there will be more time in the castle! ;-)
