    Thank you, to all who voted for me.

    When I decided to depict the Count as the old man with a moustache, I thought it might be a risky stategy, as it wasn't the "traditional" image of Dracula.

    Congratulations em...

    Interesting how many of the entries are influenced by the design of Coppola's film more than the book (not a criticism, just an intriguing observation).

    I guess because - like with Bond, Holmes, Tarzan and others - the vast majority of people are more familiar with the movies than the original source material; and that the Coppola movie pronounced itself as Bram Stoker's Dracula, as if it was a very faithful adaption (which it isn't).

    It is, however, a beautiful film to look at, and great fun for connoisseurs of dodgy accents (although, strangely, the least convincing English accent belongs to Sadie Frost - who is English) and scenery chewing (worst culprit - Anthony Hopkins, who more recently outdid himself with both roaming accent and hammy acting in The Wolfman)

    Em... Congrats to the win, well deserved! Just saw a documentary about Peter Tobin (one of the worst, if not the worst serial killers in UK) and I thought about your Dracula. Found it quite suiting:)

    Thank you. Tobin would have been a good basis, but my actual lighting reference was a photo of former American Presidential candidate John McCain:
