He Never Drinks Wine


I'll admit it: I'm a sucker for the 1979 version of Dracula. ( I even have a souvenir program from the movie.) It's so overstuffed with bats, cobwebs, ruffle shirts, and smoke machine atmosphere, it's like a romance novel version of the tale. Plus, you get Frank Langella and Laurence Olivier chewing the scenery together! But I really wish I could have seen the Broadway stage version with Frank Langella, mostly because Edward Gorey designed the entire production. Talk about atmosphere!

Yes, I'm sure the Gorey version would have been amazing to see!
