I’ve started watching Dracula movie adaptations in celebration of this years Dracula Daily so here are some Nosferatu (1922) screenshot redraws.
I really love this version of Mina, (oh I’m sorry I meant Ellen, F. W. Murnau’s original character, do not steal!) and how goth she is in this version (plus apparently just having psychic powers for no apparent reason).
If anyone would be interested in me posting like a mini review for the different adaptations and how they hold up to the book (from a dracula daily tumblr readers perspective) and to point out some funny or interesting moments, let me know! (or if anyone has any dracula drawing requests!)

DRACULA SMACKDOWN QUARTERFINALS: Count Orlok (Nosferatu) vs. Dracula (Castlevania)
PROPAGANDA FOR ORLOK:
“Basically an early film version of Dracula that’s great an influential and was trying to get around copyright and also appeal to local audiences in Germany. Also fucking creepy"
“Imagine being so freaky you caused a copyright lawsuit. Couldn’t be me [...] But really he has no chill. The dude tries to drink blood from a guy’s hand at the dinner table. Says his wife has a nice neck after literally sucking his blood. Has an entire pile of coffins to move to one (1) house. Becomes smoke bc he got distracted by a pretty woman. Just insane behavior. I love it”
PROPAGANDA FOR CASTLEVANIA:
“Lord of the vampires. He turned against humanity after they killed his wife. Constantly at odds with his son.”
