Can you picture Worthington as Dracula?

Do you think this would be a good move for him?

Would you rather see an “Avatar” sequel come first?

What do you think of Worthington’s rapidly evolving reputation as a go-to action star?

Hmm…

Nox Arcana is derived from two Latin words, which roughly translate to “mysteries of the night.”

It is a great interest in ancient lore, gothic literature and classic horror that unites Vargo and Piotrowski in their neverending quest into shadowy and dangerous realms.

Joseph Vargo is a music composer, published author, and internationally acclaimed artist. His visions of gothic fantasy have graced the covers of several books and cds and appeared in numerous publications.

Dacre Stoker, the great-grandnephew of Bram Stoker, has written “Dracula: The Un-Dead.”

Seems like Dacre put together the story from notes and jottings from Bram’s original notes. However, the sequel has been co-authored by screenwriter Ian Holt.

The book has the blessing of the Stoker Estate and should be out in October 2009. It seems VERY likely that a screen adaptation will soon follow.

Personally, I’m hesitant about a sequel, but no doubt I’ll buy it (and watch the film!).

What do you think? Is a sequel long overdue?

Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire (a ruined fortress which developers want to turn into 6m holiday apartments) is also claiming a Dracula connection.

It is claimed by some North of the border that Bram Stoker wrote part of his horror classic while staying at Crookit Lum Cottage, near Cruden Bay and may have used Slains Castle as a model for Dracula’s Castle in Transylvania.
