an eddie berthanse rant

Vampires.
they're fashionable again.
Ho hum.
Remember dracula?
Movie fans know what happened to Count Dracula.
In teh lurid Freddie Francis film, Dracula Has Risen From The Grave, Dracula's untimely death was depicted in gruesome detail.
The finale featured James Bernard's gripping musical composition, 'Dracula and the Crucific.'
But that doesn't make it right.
Not by a long-shot.
What they did to Dracula was NOT RIGHT.
They threw the count off a cliff, and impaled him on a giant crucifix. That is not O.K. O.K.?
O.K.
but that's what they do.
They murder our Draculas, and they canonize the Van Helsings of the world.
THEY WRITE HISTORY.
