This has definitely been done before but it's ok because they made like 7 of these films so what hasn't been done before

I can’t find the post now (or was it a comment?) where someone talked about how in the Horror Of Dracula (1958) Dracula’s trying to replace his dead bride. He first goes the revenge route by pursuing the girlfriend of the hunter who staked his bride, and then wife of the man who helped off his replacement bride. In the climax of the film, Dracula tried to turn Van Helsing.

This is important to note as the turned vampire hunter from earlier was treated hostilely and abandoned - not to mention turned by the original bride. Considering Dracula had been keeping tabs on things, he’d have to know about Van Helsing’s role in things, and yet, when he attempted to turn him, it didn’t seem to be in anger.

He went from survival mode to, “huh, wait a minute, maybe it’s time for a husband.”

Peter Cushing in Horror of Dracula (1958)

[scarlet-came-back-wrong]

The early Christopher Lee is a freeing alternative to Lugosi. There is nothing foreign in his line readings: he rattles through the familiar speeches with brisk, British efficiency, making them as suitable for a London corporation as for a Transylvanian fortress. Lee's castle is spacious and modem, full of expensive furniture, abounding in sinuous columns and candelabra, its colorful rooms have just been painted; even its crypt ls sparkling. Anyone in the Hammer target audience would covet this art deco home, a pointed contrast to Lugosi's unlivable mausoieum. Lee's decor announces his allegiance to a sleek future, not a dusty past; his Castle Dracula is a streamlined respite from the suffocating clutter of the virtuous family's Victorian home. Before Van Helsing throws his curtains open, Lee himself has let the light in on a timid, claustrophobic domesticity.
