That Ol' Carpathian Rampage

For no good reason (other than the pretty, which as far as I'm concerned, obviously, is good enough reason alone) here are ten frames from the astonishingly lovely bloodbath that opens Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stroker's Dracula. I've had this movie on my mind lately, I think it's time for a revisitin'.

Yer a nutter-- every single one of these frames comes from the ultra-cheese preface, you know, the only part in which, thankfully, no one speak. A preface, which I might add, is an extended sequence that owes an enormous debt to poor old Ralph Bakshi, who at least was decent enough to do it in films about wizards, be they Grey or Nazi.
