Bram Stoker’s Dracula is directed by Francis Ford Capolla and it was released in 1992. The plot’s summary consists of a real estate agent who is helping a vampire travel to England. Along the way meets the reincarnation of his long lost love who just so happens to be the agent’s wife. Once he manages to sway her things take a turn for the worse. Though she loves the Dracula she goes back to her husband. Dracula is hunted all the way back to his homeland where he is killed. The film takes more of a romantic look at the Dracula story. The visuals are absolutely fantastic. The only drawback is the acting (cough… Keanu Reeves… cough cough.) Gary Oldman gives the best Dracula performance yet. This is ideal for those who like horror and romantic elements.
October Rust is and album by Type O Negative and it was released in the year 1996. The album is much more Gothic in feel than the previous album. Peter Steele ( singer, bassist, and song-writer) writes much more commercial friendly songs this time around. He still croons and he still employs his awkward sense of humor. The electronics are much more pronounced this time around. There is only one song that manages to pass the 10 minute mark on October Rust. The guitarist Kenny Hickey doesn't sings on this one as much but when he helps you'll be able to notice. You should definitely play this album if you want to set a romantic mood for the night.
Jake, good work with your visuals. Nice job embedding your You Tube clips right into the blog.
ReplyDeleteVampires? Obviously we haven't had the talk about how much your instructor hates vampires. Obviously. (I couldn't watch the clip.)
I think you need to somehow connect your film and album each week so it doesn't feel so random. I have an idea! Ask me about it Tuesday. :)
