#dracula is bisexual

What’s the context, baby?👇

70s cinema was a wild time. Nearly half of the supernatural movies during the 70s were about vampires (and a large chunk of those movies were specifically about lesbian vampires). For Dracula, the count would star in smut films like Does Dracula Really Suck? (1969), Gayracula (1983), and Love Bites (1988)!

NADJA (1994) dir. Michael Almereyda After the death of Count Dracula, his daughter Nadja and her familiar Renfield arrive in New York to burn it his corpse, hoping this ritual will free her from her own vampiric curse, but then Nadja gets sidetracked when she meets a lost soul in a bar. Lucy is not a vampire, but she too is suffering from ennui – bored by her life and her relationship with husband Jim. Meanwhile, Jim is bailing his uncle, Van Helsing, out of jail: after learning of the disappearance of the Count's corpse, he enlists his nephew in his quest to destroy any trace of any vampire still left in the city. As the plot develops, Nadja visits her sickly brother, Edgar, who’s being looked after by a nurse called Cassandra. Van Helsing and Jim’s quest to seek out Dracula’s descendants also leads them to Edgar, bringing the two halves of the story together... (link in title)

Okay I know that this meme is kinda obscure and niche BUT the above photos are of Oscar Wilde (The Picture of Dorian Gray), Bram Stoker (Dracula), and Florence Balcombe. The three of them had a complicated and strange relationship with Florence first being Oscar Wilde’s beau until Stoker (a friend of Wildes) snatched her away from Wilde and married her all without Wilde or their friends knowing.

Wilde and Stoker had a homoerotic rivalry for much of their relationship in which they participated in triangulated homosocial relationships, vying for the attention of not one but TWO different people: Florence Balcombe and Sir Henry Irving (an idol of Wilde’s).

It is theorized that Stoker and Wilde’s relationship, as well as Wilde’s public trial after he was accused of sodomy, profoundly affected Stoker and his writing of Dracula. In fact, he wrote Dracula 1 month after Wilde was convicted.

Jack really says, “Harker is not beefy, but still fuckable.” And Mina really hears that and says, ‘Yep, that gets transcribed in the official records.’ And I love that for them.

Glam rock was the peak of queer music and gothic 19th century novels were the peak of queer literature and camp movies were the peak of queer cinema. By the way.
