Hollywood has taken .an established
Broadway attar named Frank'i•augella, put
him into an eerie setting in .a foggy Leigh h.
coastal village in Victorian titrres. and called
foam; Count Dracula, But in thismovie, the
count is not longer the bloodthirsty
rnonste4^ of our nightmares. ,Instead. he's
an +enticing. romantic -looking :nobleman
who jug happens, . to have the annayittg
problem of ,needing, a constant supply •laf
fresh blood - often from his neighbours • to
keep going. les unfortunate that when the
count nibbles on your neck, there"s: the risk
you won't survive the first date and that
you'll find sudden, and perhaps unwanted
immortality yourself, as a fellow vampire
with flashing eyes: And drooling Ups and the
strange habit of turning into a hat .after the

truth of Dracula started from the legend of
wicked count who hued in: Transylvania
combined with tale., of small South
American hats.'wbo sail" the blood from
their animal victims'. But Hngiish writer
Bram Stoller took these tales in Victorian
times and produced the novel Dracula%
setting••ttff ;a string of horror movies that
have kept us awn the ,edge of our ;;hairs for
,ge'cnerra:tit ns. Werewolfs and Egyptian,
rt ummiea may offer the :occasional thrill,
but no one has ever been able to terrori:te
its quite like the mysterious. Count Dracula,
,who spends. his days resting in a coffin in a
darkened dungeon, his evenings being
charming and his nights searching for
v .etittns - often beautiful young Warren - to
donate their blood to keep the count
looking young and healthy.
Now on Saturday afternoon. when 1
decided to escape the fiat, crowded
sidewalks of London by dropping into an
a.ir-+.•onditioned theatre to see the latest
version of the Dracula myth, starring the
aforemerttif nod Mr. Langella; Sir Laurence
Olivier and; London. Ontario's own native
4:11:11
daughter. actress Kate Nelligan, 1 was
pleasantly sutrprised. The newest Dracula,
with its beautiful. photography, Will stilt
send chills up and down your slime (and 1
found 1 •dutchPd; :sty threat protectively
during the entire movie) .but: this., Count
Dracula story Isstrangely amusing, very
erotic and net the kind of tale that; y'oun$er•
horror fans will appreciate, By the end of
the movie, you'll find yourself hoping the
suave -looking vampire will escape the
clutches of his pursuers to charm the ladies
once again.
Now as. I left the theatre. 1 couldn't help:
wondering how a modern-day Lucy (the
.Kate -Nelligan role), who just happens to be.
dating. a man who's a vampire, would
brei* the :news to her fam ily. It might ge
something :like this.
HELI,O MOM
"Oh, hello Mom, look I'm: finally bringing
Ed home this weekend you know, fid
Dracula, the guy I've been telling you
*out - would Friday night be okay?"
"No, no Mont, I think we better plan op
latesupper, alright -say :after midnight.
It's just
that led doesn't fulnciton very well:
in the daylight,. well yott Know how it is
when you've 'been 'around for centuries, the
seen ,can da terrible things to your
completion.**
"No Mom, I said centuries - not sentrys.
No Mom, he's never been :in trouble with:
:the law • he's just a red-blooded guy from
,Romania: - well, maybe he has a few little
quirks, abut I know you'll like him,"
"'Mom, I don't think the idea .about the
post roast is so good - how about we try
barbecued steaks - and Ed likes his very
Tare • wv ., actually you don't even have to.
Oa his, just thaw them out. The more red,
be sees in his meat, the better."
-Oh and Mom, When you make the
salad, c'euld you forget the garlic this time..
well, Ed has something against garlic, it
seems to make him really pale and he'll
start to tremble and cower behind his cape,.
ifs a problem really, it means we can't eat
in French restaurants and I even had to get
rid of the garlicc1oves inmykitkitchen. He
says :it's something to do yvith an allergy
