Tofifest jak co roku nie zawodzi motywem przewodnim. Dwudziesta druga edycja festiwalu będzie kręcić się wokół „Draculi” Francisa Forda Coppoli i już się cieszę, że obejrzę ten banger na wielkim ekranie. Nie mogę się doczekać zapowiedzi pełnego programu.

I can not hear a rendition of #SwanLake, without thinking of #Dracula 😂
It was used in the now classic, 1931 Universal movie starring #BélaLugosi. Tells you where I first encountered the music, at an early age - those weekend movies on #BlackAndWhite television were an education. :bl51: #PyotrTchaikovsky #Tchaikovsky
H. P. Lovecraft claimed his friend Edith Miniter was offered the chance to revise Bram Stoker's Dracula. This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein, find out everything we know - and don't know - about this claim.
Many castles are spooky: only Slains Castle, standing above cliffs near Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire, inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula after a stay at the castle. This was the second Slains Castle to be built on this stretch of coast. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/crudenbay/slainscastle/index.html
It just occurred to me that the reason the castle in Quest for Glory IV is Castle Borgov is because the Borgo Pass is how Jonathan Harker gets to Castle Dracula in the novel. (And how Renfield gets there in that role instead in the 1931 film.) #sierra#herosquest#questforglory#adventuregames#dracula
