That Bites

UK Daily Mail

Quite reasonably, vampire fans expect a theatre production to have some bite, with plenty of gore and violence. It is horror, after all.

But one leading theatre has put a trigger warning on a Dracula show – because it features blood.

Bosses at the Lyric Theatre in Hammersmith, west London, fear audiences may be disturbed – apparently not realising that being disturbed is precisely what the customers are paying for. More

The production has cast itself as being in “the female voices at the heart of the tale,” which would make the famed bloodsucker roll over in his grave if he was real. Here

  1. Daily Mail: …vampire fans expect a theatre production to have some bite, with plenty of gore and violence. “vampire fans”.

    Vampires and Frankenstein monsters are products of disturbed minds, IMO.

    Bram Stoker wrote the original Dracula novel. Think about it…a dead person arises every night from his casket, attacks people by biting them in the throat and sucking out their blood. Disturbing.

    And Dr. Frankenstein creates a monster by stitching parts of bodies together and bringing it to life with a jolt of electricity.

    This is brain-rot that people should reject. As admit I liked these stories as a kid, but adults should see it as insanity that is harmful to the mind and soul.

  2. The original Frankenstein with Boris Karloff and Young Frankenstein would’ve never been the same if they were filmed in color. Nor the original Japanese Godzilla movies from the 50’s. B&W like old time radio had far more imagination than most of the new films and TV programs made today. The Twilight Zone would’ve never been the same either if it was in color.
