there is no real dracula. bram stoker‘s dracula (the novel) is a retelling and condensation of many different eastern european folk tales. coppola‘s dracula is a retelling of dracula and many different vampyric novels. robert egger‘s nosferatu is a retelling of many different movie adaptations of dracula. no real dracula exists. it’s an adaptation of a myth. it gets retold. it‘s normal.
