I heard the movie was first but I haven’t seen it. The show might be the best I ever watched. It’s utterly creative, the atmosphere is so well rendered, characters are fan-tas-tic
Yeah can’t find any stories that don’t have him alive for hundreds of years before the castle.
You know, there’s probably a movie in that somewhere…
Dracula beginnings.
Wife dies, leads him to learning dark arts, accidentally turns himself into a vampire instead of reanimating his wife, he works his way up through the aristocracy as an assassin, slowly grows tired of humanity, perhaps a little evil, and slowly kills/controls his way into the aristocracy.
Castlevania vibes. I’m not sure any have an origins story for him, but I did get the impression that he was ancient from the show and had accumulated more knowledge in his libraries than humanity had in all the libraries of the world.
This is something The Elder Scrolls got right. Vampires could be anyone. The Mayor of a city, the homeless guy in the cave outside of town. You won’t know until they find you wandering around at night.
Most fiction that has a society of vampires portrays it this way. It wouldn’t make sense for every single one of them to be a count who lives in their own castle.

The Picard Maneuver
If you’re immortal and can’t get your hands on a castle or 2 then what are you doing with your infinite time?
“I had a castle, then I got ruined in the S&L collapse in the 80s. I did eat a few of those bankers, though.”
Pretty much what we do in the shadows
I would describe the house they lived in on the tv show as a mansion, which is basically a New World Castle, that basement alone seemed endless
I heard it’s ending (or has ended?) with the new season, I am so sad.
Wait, did they make a TV series after the movie? Or was it a series first??
there’s like 4+ seasons of series after the movie and they’re good, go watch haha
Whaaa, I’m not sure why I never knew about this. I’ll have to go check it out!

It has ended.
Oh is that why cliff richard hasn’t died yet?
yhea, because being immortal makes you immune to global financial crisis.
you vamphobic twat.
This is what the sensitivity training was about. You can be immortal but still only like 37.
Speaking only for myself, within a year of being turned into a vampire if I want a castle I’m getting a castle.
pursuing the perfect cup of tea
What is this…? Blood?? Again?
Excuse me I asked for a cup of b negative and got oolong how much tea did this dude drink
Oh

It’s a skill issue by the 2nd or 3rd generation you live through, honestly.

And just because they’re a count, don’t assume they have a castle.

Vampires don’t sparkle. Ed just had a weird thing about glitter. Racist.
dracula became a vampire because he impaled too many people when he was count
Vampires still out there working 9-5 to pay for their room in their shared flat
