Deafula
A very loose adaption of Dracula, about a deaf vampire named Steve Adams. It is strange, to say the least.
"In some ways, all you really need to know about this movie is that it's called Deafula, it's about a deaf vampire, it's performed entirely in sign language, and yes, it really exists."
—The Agony Booth recap of Deafula

Tropes used in Deafula include:
- Blind Idiot Translation: There is a dub track that translates the film's sign language into English overly literally.
- Chekhov's Gun: Peanuts. (Really.)
- Department of Redundancy Department: "It's good to see you again!" is repeated several times in one conversation. Indeed, it sometimes seems that half the movie is characters repeating their dialogue.
- Our Vampires Are Different
- Parody Retcon: Even going so far as to rename it Young Deafula.
- Vomit Indiscretion Shot
