Yesss.

Frankenstein 2025 (Guillermo Del Toro)

"Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mould me Man, did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?"

(from: John Milton’s Paradise Lost, these lines appear on the title page of FRANKENSTEIN)

And it's the only Dracula adaption (as far as I know) in which Van Helsing really speaks Dutch when speaking in his mother tongue (in the book he curses in German 😈)

You don't need to emphasise the heaviness of "I Want You (She's so Heavy)" by The Beatles - it's perfect as it is.

But you can bring out the grimmer side of it, as this version of Coroner does, and make it a fitting soundtrack for a vampire.

Q:

What opera is this?

The first Halloween movie (from 1978) is a classic. By far the best. I don't like the sequels.

DER FLIEGENDE HOLLÄNDER by Joachim Herz (1964) testifies of the proto-film that hides in Wagner's opera. A movie to make opera accessible "for people who have a horror of it" (and people who love horror, John Carpenter's The Fog comes to mind).

#Halloween

Othmar Schoeck’s "Lebendig Begraben" (1927) is a haunting song cycle where a man buried alive relives his memories as he accepts his fate.
