The beautiful garden in Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992, directed by Francis Ford Coppola). Winona Ryder as Mina; Sadie Frost as Lucy. The garden was created on an MGM studio soundstage, the same one with the giant swimming pool where Esther Williams did many of her water extravaganzas. [Screenshots via http://screenmusings.org/, altered a bit by me to reveal background details.]
if you’re interested in that sort of thing, mina and lucy literally make out in the rain in Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) dir. Francis Ford Coppola. lucy also gets railed in a thunderstorm by dracula while he’s transformed into a giant bat monster. again, just in case you’re interested in that sort of thing. it’s a good movie
“Costume for Mina is very strict, tight, conservative. Especially symbolised in the high neck, tied-up front, almost like virginity or modesty… and Lucy is completely opposite.”
—Eiko Ishiko, costume designer for Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) dir. Francis Ford Coppola
Given this new Dracula Daily sensation that’s sweeping the Tumblr nation, I feel like now’s a good time to mention that the comedy anime The Vampire Dies in No Time is actually weirdly accurate concerning OG vampire lore, including but not limited to the fact that the in-series Dracula (in literally all but name thus far) is actually just a weird fuckin’ guy desperately seeking fun times with good friends.
