Greta Schröder as Ellen Hutter in Nosferatu 1922

It's "valentines day." Sigh. Today, everyone's got a case of teh VD and not just me. Ha ha. Just kidding kids, I'm clean and not sober. But I can't help but think that these two love-birds are in fact he original Edward and Bella. Double-Sigh with awe. I mean... she's so twitchy and awkward... he's so handsome and stalking... she likes laying around in bed all day not doin' shit... he likes hanging out by her window and watching her sleep. Whoever says Twilight wasn't inspired by trve vampire lore is obviously full of shit.

The inspiration for Bella's constant blank stare.

Look at this smug ass motherfucker! I'd rape seduce his chick too.

Mina.

"Dat face!"

Once the Count gets his eyes on your pretty little girl, it's hard to get his mind back on buying property. Oh, he'll buy it and make his moves, but don't think about coming home until he's done making Ellen's (Mina's) nightmares come to life. "You stay here while I check out your place."

Ellen Sleepwalks for a while and cries for the sexy man at the window who's been watching her sleep.

Then some bad news from afar... there are mosquitos Everywhere! 

Ellen (Mina) reads her guy's diary (wut?) and finds that the only way for her to make things right is to offer up her bloode in a seduction that will keep the Count occupied long enough for the sun to rise and destroy him by turning his skin into a revealing diamond shade of glow.

"I just watched Straw Dogs and now I'm gonna try it!"

"WTF! Must... Rape... Love... Her..."

"Oh no... I didn't think that would work!" tehehe...

"No please, don't totally pleasure me instead of watching me sleep!"

"Wake up!...

"...it's Time to Die!"

Greta Schröder plays Ellen Hutter (aka Mina Murray-Harker) in Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922). To me she's not as hot as many or most of the other Mina/Lucy characters. Back in the day, she was probably one of the hottest babes around. Her face seems a bit squarish and manly to me. Not to sound harsh. If I had the choice I'd probably let Graf Orlok blow me first. Still, she set a standard back in the day and I must respect that. For Bella's sake.

Isabelle Adjani as Lucy Harker in Nosferatu Phantom Der Nacht

In the 1979 film Nosferatu the Vampyre directed by Werner Herzog, the always immaculate and gothic beauty Isabelle Adjani plays Lucy Harker (a mix of the Mina Harker and Lucy Westenra characters), who is haunted by Count Dracula... and eventually lays him. To rest, that is.

Lucy's been having bad dreams and a bat has been lingering about her window shade. A while later, after her husband comes back from his business trip, a mysterious figure enters into her bathing quarters.

Of course she did. That's what women do. Intrude upon guy's personal shit!

She goes off about life and what he's presenting and lies about how she will not give herself to him.

Count gets mildly aggressive for a second...

...but falls back when Lucy reveals her cross necklace. Later, after studying the demon, she invites him inside of her and holds him close (with his longing for love and her beautiful features) so that the rising light in the morning hours can claim him.

 The sexiest moment of the film... I go insane!

Whenever I watch this scene, all I can think about is how sweet her blood must taste. Nosferatu there was ready to leave before she pulled and begged him back. He knew the time of sunrise was near. But look at this chick. So gorgeous! Would I do the same thing? He already talked about wishing to die. So did she save him or kill him?

Look at her. All proud of death dealing a poor, lost, loveless soul.

...and then she died too.

So sad. You think they're together in the un-afterlife? I think so... because I too believe in True Love.

Sadie Frost as Lucy Westenra in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)

I've always found Lucy Westenra to be an intriguing character. Perhaps it the "girl next door" type quality... well, maybe not "next door" per se, but "the girl next door to the girl next door I'm stalking, and since I've got some time, let's let the corruption commence!" type of girl. She's been portrayed many a time by various actresses, and a lot of those times her role has become intermingled with Mina's character (Which I'm cool with, but do not prefer at all!). I like my Lucy as a stand alone slut. Always have and will. Sadie Frost (who should always be blonde) made a perfect Lucy.

She's so hot that she gets her own open glass coffin. Got a problem with that... girls from Massachusetts?

Uh-oh!

After abducting small children to feast on their blood (total newb move), she gets caught by poachers.

Her sexy charm wears off quickly... as she's cold, pale white, and feeding on human flesh. Personally, I'd still go for it.

Van Helsing pulls out his "instrument", and the sexy young thing retreats...

...back into her coffin.

That is of course, before awakening suddenly...

...and spraying that fuck all over...

...with the blood of innocent children! Take that, beyotch.

Sadly of course, after that she lays back down, Van Helsing and the girl's three potential/former lovers proceed to stab her through the heart and chop off her head. :(

I'm calling bullshit on this finish. Not... cool! Not cool.
