Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:
1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.
2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.
3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.
4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.
5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.
6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.
When do you know it is time for a more intense therapy?
When a massive Husky/Malamute enters your store and you want to lie on the floor and have the dog lay on top of you because you think "it would feel amazing".
Oh trust me: The Cape is Definitely Part of This
Oh Gods, what I just thought about that finger
If cats could speak, they would roll their Rs.
A human can achieve a puuur sound by humming an R roll constantly.
Live on.
Today is the 77th anniversary of Dragonwyck. So, I come bearing gifs. Get it?....
I'll see myself out...
Here's some words of advice from Nicholas Van Ryn
I couldn't remember the last time I saw the bag of hair dying supplies I used Saturday.
I couldn't find the shirt I wore or purse I used Tuesday.
What is happening to me???
