The Tomb of Dracula/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: Dracula himself, naturally, as well as boatloads of other characters. This was one nasty title for its time. And yet Dracula, for all his evil, was often shown as possessing some nobility, occasionally even doing some good like when he protected orphaned children from hungry wolves. It says something about the writing of this book that Dracula was often shown doing something noble and yet his status as a monstrously evil figure was never undercut.
  • Motive Decay: Dracula's motives range from killing the hunters chasing him to causing a full scale Vampire Apocalypse.
  • What an Idiot!: An human mob tries to destroy Dracula at his tomb just after sundown. As a result, Dracula's reaction, since he had just emerged and needed to get some sustenance soon, to the invaders is essentially, "Ah, room service!" and indulges taking them down.
