July 18

I see the captain of the Demeter and her crew are becoming aware of their dark passenger. God help them.

Made the mistake of going on Twitter and saw this RANCID take on the “Last Voyage of the Demeter” movie. At least the replies are on point. This is very funny.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023) Creating Dracula Featurette

[your-friendly-sleep-demoness]

the last voyage of the demeter is to dracula what rogue one is to star wars because you know that everyone is fucked before you even start watching but you still end up getting attached

I think Dracula’s destruction of the crew of the Demeter is for more reason than just him wanting a snack. I think, for whatever reason, he wants to arrive in England with no witnesses. He’s in one of the boxes; his weight would be noticed when they were unloaded. It would be difficult to be sure of conveniently getting off the boat separate from the boxes, both because he can’t leave it as a man (there was no passenger) and because he can’t cross running water. The death of the crew lets him crash the boat directly into the shore, so it is in physical contact with land, and then depart it as a wolf.

He’s not miscalculating. He’s causing the mist on purpose. He’s getting rid of the crew on purpose. He’s crashing the ship on purpose.

Imagine if The Last Voyage of the Demeter just ends with a twenty minute sequence of Dracula trying to singlehandedly steer the ship into Whitby without crashing.

listen dracula is my favourite gothic novel for many MANY reasons, but the winner has to be the literal ghost ship with a desperate dead man tied to the wheel in eternal prayer

The captain of the Demeter is starting to feel what Jonathan felt when locked in extreme isolation with Dracula. There is no escape; the only way out is through, and it may come at the cost of their lives. In fact, it already has.

The Captain of the Demeter remains one of my favorite parts of Dracula and strikes tears in my eyes every time. He dies a holy death doing his duty, however futilely, against an unknown and terrifying evil, and thereby "saves his soul and his honour as a captain."

del Toro is giving me hope.. dracula daily people how are we feeling

The Demeter movie makes me wish for a competent director to make one about the first arc of the book. An actually scary Dracula and his just as vicious vampire minions when he drops pretenses and tangles his victim in his web. Show us why Jonathan's mind straight up breaks and forgets his own name after two months in Hell.

It has claustrophobia! Sheer cliffs trapping you in! It has vampires from the locked crypts stalking and teasing their human plaything! Fear, temptation, and a longing for home. It has possessed wolves and hungry mist and panicked villagers. Nightmares, madness, dream and reality blurring! Violation of mind, body, and soul! Empty pages for weeks or has it been months or is it years? He can't tell anymore. There's a monster at the door.
