"No one ever speaks about the monsters...

I used to have demons
In my room at night
Desire despair desire
So many monsters..." - Annie Lennox

I still do...

Randomly, I was watching Dracula (1992) and I quite like the story although Winona Ryder annoys me to my back teeth! It gives a more...human side to Dracula and portrays him as Vlad the Impaler instead of the other campy versions of Dracula (I love you Richard Roxburgh but you really DID vamp up Count Dracula a lil too much).

Long story short, Vlad answered the call of God to go fight the Turks (or was it Moors?) at Constantinople and so he did but because he was winning some enemy arse decided to send a note via arrow mail back to his bride Elisabeta (did she even exist?) telling her he was dead. So after his victory, he rides back to find that she has thrown herself off their hilly castle and died. Anyways, he goes crazy with grief and since the really unsympathetic priest tells him she is damned for suicide, he decides to challenge God and well...you know the rest.

Forward to the future, Mina Murray pretty much is Elisabeta reborn and she's bethrothed to Jonathan Harker (Keanu)...so guess what happens? LOLZ~!
Surprising cast though...I mean, Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing?? Cary Elwes as Arthur Holmwood? LOLZ~!

I don't know about you but every time I think of Anthony Hopkins, I think of Hannibal (Hannibal vs Dracula....hmm....) and everytime I think of Cary Elwes....Robin Hood comes to mind!

Pottering back...anyways, this is the theme song which is really souful.

::~::Love Song For A Vampire::
Artiste: Annie Lennox
OST: Dracula (1992)

Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
Th' rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum.

It beats for you, it bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds.
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs.

Once I had the rarest rose that
Ever deigned to bloom.
Cruel winter chilled the balm,
And stole my flower too soon

O loneliness, O hopelessness
To search the ends of time,
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.

Love....Still falls the rain.
Be mine forever...

Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold.
Now the floor of heav'n is laid,
Its stars of brightest glow.

They shine for you.
They shine for you.
They burn for all to see.

Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free.
