Once they finally realized Dracula was real and the danger he presented, they should have done the one no brainer thing and abandon ship after setting it on fire DURING the day. I understand the movie obviously needed the plot to prolong the ending but when you decide to make a movie based on something or someone make sure the plot isn't just written to extend the run time b/c I swear a kid would've thought of a better idea then what the crew members were coming up with.

Two things, once they found dracula's resting place, they should've either pushed the box overboard or burned it. And once the crew realized they need to keep the creature from reaching London, they should've dropped anchor and set the entire ship ablaze.

[@acehangman617]

I am sure this summary misses some things but... what the hell do these people do all day long on the ship?! They start searching the crates... and they look through all of them before deciding, "Oh, how about this big, coffin-sized, ornate one sitting all by itself?". They don't start scuttling or turning the ship away from land as soon as they decide that plan and just get in the lifeboat and head towards London, they wait until night when they're literally 5 miles offshore? They don't have any nets or ropes or anything to disable or slow Dracula down? Super-strength or not, it's hard to pull a rope apart or fly with netting all over you.

Day-time comes, so you can see better. Take all the crates on to the deck, opening them all, seeing what's inside. Dump any garbage/comatose monsters overboard and carry the rest of the crates to destination, maybe saving more victims, blaming bad weather for losing a few when you arrive. Get paid, live, be traumatised, but alive. Do that right after the woman was discovered.

[@henrycavillsrealmustache3553]

Hed wake up from the box banging around kill them in the shade below deck and go back to bed. That shit is stuffed with dirt and is massive, they wouldnt be able to get it up the steps to the deck either more than likely

[@e.t.2914]

Ya'll have clearly never even lifted a bucket of dirt in your life which is why you somehow think dudes can manually lift crates that took a CRANE PULLEY and an entire operating crew to load ON to the ship. Sure they could scoop it out bucket by bucket. But that would likely take multiple weeks to do with 50 stacked crates assuming you can even chop up the wood to get it out of the way once empty.

[@DeniseDutton]

Though Toby was the Captain's grandson, he was probably just starting his apprenticeship. He's of the age where he'd have been a cabin boy (probably what he was, as his job was to look after the animals), or powder monkey (hauling gunpowder). It was yet another touch of historical realism that had me totally loving this story.

[@mel2000]

He'd have still needed a formal education to be the captain of a ship.

[@johnstockley6976]

Something I love is the subliminal messegaing in this film. The warning knocks are the sound of a heartbeat and as the movie progresses that "heartbeat" grows faster and more erratic as the tension grows. Subliminal messaging for the audience.

[@Sofrew]

Its funny how Love, Death and Robots had an episode that was similar to this (the one in the ship with the monster that also wanted to reach some town), and yet in less time it was able to tell a much better story while having the people on the ship be rational.

[@pinkiepie6880]

I remember that episode. It was a crab monster.

[@raptorhacker599]

Oh yeah didn't they burn down the ship in that one?

[@domjay]

very true

[@Zeno4XX]

Virus also had a similar issue, all they had to do was sink the boat.

[@kurqnkov2299]

I wouldn't say the people on the ship were rational in bad traveling. Last i remember they were totally game to doom the island the crab wanted to get to and Troy Baker(Don't remember the character's name) was the only one that actually had any sort of plan. But one rational crew member is still better than whatever the crew of the demeter had in mind

[@OR56]

My only complaint is that Dracula ignored the Rosary, and didn't recoil away in fear or pain. His weakness to the cross was a major part of the legend.

[@raptorhacker599]

Well this story is only based on the novel but not an exact copy. So the mostrous dracula they portrayed is of more bestial nature and not affected by crosses.

[@bloodoftheunicorns2621]

I don’t think the cross was pointed at him directly. Every time I remember the cross working was in direct line of sight and it being pointed at him.

[@raptor182cmn]

This version of the fable treats Dracula's abilities less as magical powers and more as a rare alpha predator with an infectious rabies-like disease.

[@bloodoftheunicorns2621]

I rewatched the scene and the cross was pointed at him and a prayer was said. So I guess Dracula just became an atheist.

[@OR56]

@@raptor182cmn I think the mind control, and bursting into flame in sunlight are pretty magical.

[@DarkcIoud1111.]

As soon as one of those boxes broke open and a person was found inside, they probably should have started checking all the boxes to see if anyone else was inside. If they had done that, they would have discovered Dracula in plenty of time before they lost half the crew and even could have killed him by bringing his box into the sunlight.

[@sophiacousland3452]

I’d like to point out one thing when it comes to crosses, or crucifixes if you prefer. It’s not the cross/crucifix itself that holds the power to keep evil at bay, it’s the faith behind it that gives it strength. Holding up a cross/crucifix when you have no faith makes it completely useless as a deterrent, and the majority of the crew weren’t religious. Arming the crew as soon as trouble begins is a good idea but the problem is that the weapons they have are useless against vampires. The crew would need supplies and time to fashion stakes, which the crew don’t have a lot of. They only have so many hours in the day to fashion stakes on top of running the ship, and any successful plan of attack with less risk requires that they find Dracula’s hiding place early on. Would have been helpful if the crew thought to search the crates in the hold after finding Anna. Any plan of attack also should have been taken during the day, but it’s like the crew were allergic to the sun considering they had hatched every plan at night when Dracula had the advantage. Garlic is hit or miss when it comes to vampire lore, so I wouldn’t bet on garlic being a useful deterrent. I’d also like to point out that Dracula would have likely killed Anna fairly quickly if given the opportunity, so fat chance of him burning in sunlight while being distracted by feeding since dawn looked to be hours away.

[@Shinobu.Is.Beautiful]

I like how even when he’s roasting the captain he still calls him Captain Elliot. That’s some damn good respect.

[@therealNguniEmperor]

I like how this movie didn't hold back and killed the child, in most movies kids just have plot armor.

[@Tolkopica]

They could have just set fire to the ship at sunrise and sailed away on the lifeboat. Instead they went with the "So you have chosen death" option and picked a convoluted plan that involved fighting a vampire at night. They all F'd up.

[@e.t.2914]

I'm sure the creature that doesn't need to breathe wouldn't be bothered if it had to swim beneath the waves all day just to murder you at night in the lifeboat for trashing his ride. And its not like they could really search the boat thoroughly during the day with 6 dudes while the entire interior of the boat is both huge and dark. He can see in the dark and the best they have is lanterns. Dude could so easily just shuffle around to different spots and they'd just keep missing him. There's a reason stowaway's are a thing. You really just can hide on a big dark boat and no one will find you.

[@heww3960]

@@e.t.2914 They did find his resting place, just to ignore it. So they knew where he was during daytime. No matter what the plan should be, fight him, barricade the place, run away, sink the ship etc, it should have happen during daytime. They maybe would have failed either way, but their best chances would be during the day. If he could just have swim under water, why did he even need the ship?

Guys we gotta keep it consistent of if he want competent survivors we have to make the killer competent too… they cant take his coffin to the deck, we gotta assume hed wake up to the sound of his box dragging along the floor, especially when he sleeps in dirt and sound travels better through solids. So hed wake up and kill them all below deck. The only fool proof plan is at sunrise set the ship on fire and go on the rowboat.

Sometimes there’s a reason why God or the Universe close doors or reject you from certain opportunities.

[@tzarkan446]

The most reasonable solution would be to grab the Dracula's coffin using the ropes to drag it onto the deck during the day. They discovered the vampire's resting place so finding it under sunlight wouldn't be an issue and the sun would protect them from Dracula. After seeing what sun did to Orgaen it's safe to assume that Dracula would be incinerated as well. So, putting his coffin on the top deck and opening it so that the sunlight instantly hits him is the only valid solution

[@e.t.2914]

You have no idea how heavy a single five gallon bucket of dirt is. Six dudes with no crane are not moving that crate. Especially not 50 others he could just move into.

[@Devilhand21]

@@e.t.2914 I can agree with this to an extent. The dirt would make it almost impossible to move the box, but what they could have done was slowly move it over by any mean to where sunlight can go inside the coffin break open the area more for the sunlight to be on full blast. After doing that, if they did it fast enough for sunlight to still be up, the crew could have lit the ship on fire before opening the coffin and GTFO. Dracula would have nowhere to go and his only choice is to burn along with the ship.

If I’m on the ship in the middle of the day, while the vampire is sleeping, I’m getting all the crew onto the lifeboat setting fire to the ship and paddling my way towards London The vampire king come out in the daytime, so it’s either gonna burn to death by the fire, burned to death by the sunlight, or the casket that sleeps in his going to sink to the ocean floor Either way, I win

[@Donatillo1961]

Movie just gets stupid.burning the ship at daylight is a no brainer.

[@e.t.2914]

Ya'll really think the vampire that doesn't need to breathe air wouldn't just jump in the water and swim beneath the lifeboat all day until the sun goes down and he can murder everyone on the lifeboat?

[@TheRaveJunkie]

Canonically, Dracula cannot swim

[@Reprodestruxion]

The original Drácula wasn’t destroyed by sunlight, it only weakened him by turning him humanlike again. But they could destroy the boxes with the soil from his homeland

[@phoenixx913]

To be fair to the captain young boys were on sailing ships pretty regularly back then as cabin boys and captains did take their families with them occasionally so it's not like he was doing something out of the ordinary for the time.

[@---Sasha---]

Anyone else thinking they should just put the crate where he rested, in the sun and just open it so he burned?

[@henrycavillsrealmustache3553]

I mean rational but risky since it starts below deck, if we want them to be competent have to make Dracula be as well, id assume hed wake up kill them go back to bed. The most reasonable is just to burn the ship down and get in the row boat while the sun is up. He’ll either burn in his box or fly out to the sun.

[@starkillerproductions4645]

The reason the boy was on the crew was because he had no other family yet and was basically just living with his uncle

[@ricgillingham8056]

In the 1880s it was common to have children aboard ships as cabin boys even the Royal Navy had children as able seamen those who made the cut would tra8n as Leftenants so as I said it was not stupid or uncommon of the time to have children aboard a ship.

[@vladtheimpalerofficial]

One of the really sad things is they ignored one of the main weaknesses of dracula the cross/rosary in the movie other then that it was a really good movie accurate in many ways and follows the original story decently but its unfortunate that when the person put up his rosary to defend himself from dracula dracula didn't repulse and scream in fear and pain and retreat somewhere to get away from it because those symbolisms where really all that could truly stop him for example if they consecrate or purify his coffin/soil in it put communion wafers on the soil and other things dracula is extremely powerful but not invulnerable he possesses many weaknesses all besides a few of it are religious based

Gotta love how this is set in the Mediterranean, i.e. the sea you are literally never more than a day's sail away from shore.

[@YoullNever]

So a few things. I wanna say, 1. I do enjoy all these How To Beat channels. But they're going about it all completely wrong. 2. I'd like to know what they'd do IN THAT SITUATION. The movie takes place way before internet and all our modern stuff. So they gotta remember, the woman is probably the only servant of Drac. And they still don't know what her abilities are. Yes she has a mental connection with Drac, but that just means they're connected. They don't know if he's tracking them through her, if he knows what she's always up to or anything else. So using her to track him down would probably just end in their deaths too. 3. So they're going about it all wrong if they're talking about how to beat Drac in that time, but if now. Well It's easy, modern ships have metal doors and such which Drac probably wouldn't be able to bust open. And not like they'll have water guns to load with holy water. Which holy water need to be blessed by a man of God. And garlic, I'm sure they wouldn't have enough to give around and you'll still need to be close for it to do harm towards Drac. 4. (I've been watching and writing these as I go along and I'm at 19 37) the grandfather and kid, we don't know their full story. Most likely their parents wouldn't let their kid go. It's also possible the kid ran away or the kids parents are dead. And the Grandfather probably has many years of experience to protect the kid. 5. The trap, I did absolutely no research and didn't know anything about the mind communication powers. And I knew Drac would know as well because of her.

[@certifiedredditgenius]

I understand where you are coming from but the movie shows proof that they burn in daylight. Before the final showdown, they've had 2 people die from burning after they turned. They found his crib at night "when he was out hunting". They never see him during the day. As a result, a doctor who graduated from Cambridge University and probably had to work harder than the other students in order to graduate, should absolutely be able to connect the dots that sunlight hurts/kills them. As a result, they could figure out a way to use that to their advantage. The movie takes an approach of a "biological" monster that cannot be hurt by Christianity and they know this. The cook literally died while doing nothing but praying all the time. The boat comes back with blood all over the bible so they'd know that. Plus in the final scene, (which credit to them, they wouldn't know because the battle happens before that), the captain dies while trying to turn back Dracula with a crucifix. Lastly, the "mental connection" was such a stupid point. It wasn't even alluded to until the final battle happened and had zero impact on the plot anyways. Dracula killed the guys in the crows nest first, then the captain, then attacked Colman, then attacked the chick with the "connection". It was like the writers of the show just added that point to make their terrible plan seem like it might work "but oh no! Fog rolled in. Plan won't work. Shoot!". Not sure why they made the kid the captain's grandkid and added zero backstory. He was only there to form a connection with the main character so that he'll "feel something" when he died.

[@YoullNever]

@@certifiedredditgenius Yeah the Christianity thing didn't work but the thing is they didn't know that, for all they knew he probably went out trying to fight them. Not saying it should've worked because each movie can say what they want. And the fire thing, yes it's best to assume that and they were right so. But lot of people probably would've assumed or thought he was like a bat or some other predator that hunts during the night. So if anything they should've just thrown out the stranger boxes and lit them on fire and tossed them overboard. That way if the fire doesn't kill him the sun would. Or just load whatever cargo on to the safety rafts and burn the boat. As for the Grandfather and kid, obviously I never lived back then and without doing any research, I'm sure that probably happened a few times. A caption bringing his kid or grandkid with him to travel. Which some might use the fact the kid wasn't afraid (and if the movie showed if the kid knew the boat or crew well enough).

13:04 Dracula book fan here, I see 2 problems with your estrategy: 1. If we are going by the book universe rules very few people know aboutthe vampires weakness, maybe since the sailor are for Romania they could no one or two superstitions, but even book Van Helsing himself wasn't really sure of wich were true and witch are not (althought the pasents living near dracula seen to know he is repelled by crosses, so maybe the woman could help there); 2. As far as I remember, the book never use garlic, but garlic flowers against the vampire and it less likely for rhe ship to have those.

Dracula is easy to beat assuming a few things 1st confirming you are indeed dealing with a vampire 2nd hold meetings to gather and share any info/legend about vampires 3rd don't assume any legend hold the complete truth (underestimating your target) 4th assuming any info is available take action on it 5th send his box overboard (some stories state vampires can't cross running water?) 6th check other boxes or send them over as well in case some soil was moved 7th don't share info with a girl having a physic link with the vampire (also if possible try to share as little as possible, if it can read or mess with memories) 8th decide if you are trying to survive or be heroes, if you are going the hero route turn the ship around, drop anchor, and sink it at before noon 9th be prepared to betray people or be betrayed, never know who is infected or under the creatures control/influence or might decide they would rather live at the end of the day you are still more likely to die then survive, if you have no info/legend you really don't have much of a game plan outside of observe when it hunts, if people are bitten what happens, etc... only can guess that removing the head, heart, and burning it might be effective

[@Doctor_Odin]

It’s quite simple find the other crates with the Noble house’s insignia and tie it down with enough material to make it sink and throw it overboard during the day. The vampire seems to go by the rules of needing rest in dirt from their burial place, also likely the fact that they can’t cross running water (hence having ship himself and needing to hide in dirt filled crates.) Sinking his crates during the day, he would royally screw him. Because he’s starved can’t leave his dirt behind and likely “can’t swim” so to speak.

[@karenwilson9528]

Why not just grab his box and take it up on deck. Open it in the middle of the day. That's why the box is locked in a secret way, so it can't be opened on him in the middle of the day. Don't wait until night fall before the final battle!

[@e.t.2914]

How they gonna lift the crate bub? Do you know how heavy just a five gallon bucket of dirt weighs? It took a crane to get the crates on so how would they get it out? Because if they open it in the dark to start scooping dirt out in buckets(assuming Dracula is a dumbass who wouldn't have already moved into one of the 50 other crates whenever he felt) Dracula would just come out and eat their dumbasses.

This is what I would do alternatively 1) Bells and whistles - I would demand the crew wear a bell around their neck or around their ankle so any distress be identified with loud clanging of the bells . I would also give each one of them a whistle that could easily be made with excess wood and metal tools .I'd also teach those who do not know how to whistle . A sailors whistle is a very shrill and easy to identify and could be heard from the cargo bows of the ship . I would advise the men to whistle should they have discovered this monster laying in wait or if they discover one of the men away from his post . And I might just set dracula's bed on fire or desecrate it just to spite him . 2) Bait - I would wait until there was no more than 2 hours left to sunrise and ask the bravest one amongst them to volunteer as bait . I would approach this with either two ways one being vietcong type punji stick traps smeared with feces and urine to guarantee an infection or I would use the 5 men as riflemen and riddle the beast with holes . I would also consider a cage like trap where the bait who is almost certain to face death would lure dracula into the cage and with that I would shut the door and hold him there at least until sunrise. 3) Spiritual aspect - If the ship's cook was religious he should have tried casting or banishing the demon to hell . In the past Jesus Christ used spiritual authority to bind and banish demons the very same authority christians have . All it would have take was faith the size of a mustard seed . 4) British Royal Navy - I would steer the ship to a known location of the royal navy and explain it to them in words that were not particularly to the likes of a lunatic . I would say that we found an "exotic rabies infected creature that comes out at night " .And I would explain the contemporary situation and use the mighty cannons the royal navy has to offer to sink this infested boat . 5) Pirates - As they were sailing through the mediterranean I would willfully sail through pirate infested waters . And once I was raided by pirates I would peacefully surrender the ship and ask for 6 days of ration and water and to allow us to leave using the lifeboats . Ever since roman times there were always a fleet of Mediterranean galleys that were raiding roman convoys and this was a frequent occurrence even in the 1800's . And I'd be doing society a favor by simultaneously reducing piracy and confining dracula in a sunny place . 6) Explosives - I would rig a certain part of the ship with all the gunpowder the ship had to offer . And I would lure dracula there and then trigger the bomb . And then I would send the entirety of the crew to finish him off with knives ,pickaxes or whatever they had left . 7) Poison - I would hand every one a glass cyanide capsule so if dracula was intent on killing one particular person . Let that person chew the cyanide and poison dracula as well or at least significantly weaken him and then clobber him to death or wait until sunrise or both .

1: Decent idea, but Dracula is very intelligent and it would only last 1-2 times. 2: Once again, intelligent. And 2 hours? It can literally kill them at any time. 3: Dracula isn't a demon, he a monster. In the original tale he was weakened by crosses. This version has no such weakness. 4: Oh good, now Dracula has thralls with guns. 5: Dracula takes place in 1897. Piracy in the Mediterranean had all but stopped after the destruction of the Barbary states in 1830 and even if they found of the very few left they would have just a good of a chance because Dracula is a monster that can only be beaten when in a weakened state. Plus, pirates usually do not want confrontation and rather they try to get surrender by intimidation. 6: Once again, very intelligent. 7: Dracula is not human. In the original story he is already dead. Plus, would a bunch of traders have cyanide on them? The best way to beat Dracula is to find where he sleeps and attack him in the day, just like what was done in the original book. Open them up and dump every crate into the ocean. Burn the ship in the daytime. Do not let anyone else get involved because that's more bodies and potential thralls. Worse case scenario find a small remote island and scuttle the ship on it. Everyone will probably die, but Dracula with either burn in the flames, by the sun in this version, or die from lack of blood supply.

[@indoroyale7848]

@@VariaBug Response to No 2) This dracula is more of an animal than a human . Notice how he attacks only when he notices one of the crewmen by themselves or in solace. He may be intelligent but he is a slave to his instinct and appetite. Response 4) In 1897 not much was know about several species. I don't see how dracula could make a thrall of a naval soldier. It would be believable. In the morning the group should have armed forces at their disposal searching for dracula while he sleeps . In the event he isn't found they could simply burn the ship down . But there is strength in numbers . I would calculate it with a course reaching the Royal Navy only in the morning sun . Otherwise he would move onto them . 5) It is worth an attempt. This dracula fellow resembles a demon and resembles the likeness of one . And some of his strengths are nearly supernatural. 6) being intelligent is no immunity to traps . 5) Pirates in their territorial waters don't mind a fight . And it'd be an easy option . 7) Well that's true cyanide was scarce but some ships had them if they were captured. Overall your idea was smart to maroon the ship on a tiny island but it would also be a death sentence to the crew and even throwing crates out guarantees death because they would be throwing out rations,medicine and goods which could incur a penalty if accused of theft by the owners .

[@VariaBug]

@@indoroyale78482. Dracula still showed higher level thought. And and picking out one by one plus how he acted in the end shows that he isn't as much an animal as you may think. Plus we do not know how much Dracula needs to feed. 4. Its shown that a single bite can turn a person into a thrall/proto-vampire. Also the Captain was influenced like Renfield but that wasn't as powerful. Plus it is stated that Dracula does not fear guns and the crew was taken out at the end. Plus. This isn't the modern day. You can't calculate a course to a Navy ship without either knowing one is there or being in direct sight, AKA most likely well within Dracula's flying range. Also, the most likely place to find another ship would be by a port, aka a town with a bunch of ships that would make this whole situation start all over. 3. In the time period they would make the attempt, but in hindsight facing Dracula in this way is foolish as its shown he doesn't have supernatural weaknesses like his original version. Only sunlight. 6. Makes it pretty damn hard to trap him though. The only time Dracula was immobilized was with the mast and that was an accident. Also, the interior of the ship has very little sunlight. And I would not bet on Dracula needing to sleep. So unless I have UV lamps or Solar Simulators the area is the dead zone that I want no part of. 5. Pirates generally don't have territorial waters, they go were the money is. In this time period Piracy was mainly focused in Asia. Pirates act like Predators, they don't go after things that are armed and they don't want a fight because they could die or even worse, be caught. Privateers might go after bigger fish as they are engaging in asymmetrical warfare, but Pirates are in it for money, not dying. Also, your dealing with a monster, the natural predators for humans, on a small boat in the middle of the ocean. And in this situation, you have nobody who knows about Vampires. In the original book the only issue was the health of Lucy and Mina after their attacks. But overall they had many more options plus the closest thing to an expert with Van Helsing. Here, Dracula wants to go to London. You can't beat him, you can't negotiate with him, and once he gets what he wants you going to be a meal either way. At that point living though it is a miracle and should not be expected. The only thing you could reasonably do is either delay or better yet outright stop Dracula from reaching a population center, especially one as like London with a large population of "undesirables" littering the streets and ghettos. You could have a vampiric plague depending if the thralls are proto-vampires and can turn people themselves, or how long it takes a thrall to become a true vampire. The goal is not for you to win, its for Dracula to lose.

[@e.t.2914]

All these ideas would fail because they rely on assumptions about what can kill Dracula and just like the crew in this movie, everything they did didn't work, what makes you believe that there would be a chance to pull off any of these ideas successfully?

If it was so easy for 6 dudes to find stowaways in a big dark boat then the phrase "stowaways" wouldn't exist.

Look, the movie had more than a handfull of plot holes and illogical dealings but I love it. I can't explain it, it worked for me. The Dracula design was cool, I liked it and despite being animalistic in the end we still got a hint of the debonaire, charismatic count (although still looking kinda rough). I thought the scenes were well made and Dracula was sufficently creepy and threatening at the same itme. The actors I thought did well, Clemens was cool as a main protagonist, Anna was nice, the crew had a fairh share of likble personalities that you were sad to see go and the flow of events was nice. I didn't feel the movie draggin the slightest. I don't know if I can call it scary but was a damn nice moive. Shame it bombed I would've totally been on board for the hinted sequel. Perhaps I'm giving it too much credit because I absolutely love the idea of the script. First Alien but on a ship is a cool concept. 2nd Dracula's jounrey to UK is a small detail but hints at a cool set-up, one which I beleive this movie and the BBC Dracula mini-series did justice ot. And lastly the design and the way scenes were shot perfectly delivered the tone and the creepiness one would expect. Loved the movie, loved the How to BEat on it as it points out the main issues with the movie. Why didn't they come up with ane xplanation what happened durning the day and why did they keep insisting on facing Dracula at night, idk.... but in the end of the day we need to have a movie so some suspension of dissbelief is expect. We can just chalk it to them not being super sure he can't go out at light, even after seeing his victims burn in sunlight, idk.

It's another being killed by something that has all intents to do so.

In common lore, after a long slumber, Vampires decay at a slower than human, but still normal level. When they awake, they can be badly decomposed until blood drink after blood drink rejuvenates them from feral to royal.

[@theprogressivecynic2407]

This is a prequel to the actual Dracula novel, which is partially set after Dracula arrives in England on this wrecked ship. He is a noble, and VERY wealthy, but vampirism requires him to sleep in his home soil, and prevents him from voluntarily crossing moving water. His emaciated state was him going into hibernation for the voyage, and he becomes younger and human-looking when fully fed. On land, he had access to his money and people to feed on, so he looks like a wealthy human.

[@MrNickPresley]

Okay, so they see guys go up in smoke after being attacked by the Count, and they _don't_ start hunting down that thing during the day, when they know it isn't actively hunting because...? Literally the only thing it would take to beat Dracula is a couple of deckhands dragging his coffin out into daylight and cracking it open- and they have ALL DAY to do it. We already know this isn't the literary Dracula, because in the books, sunlight didn't hurt him or his creations, it only weakens. But even if it was, he'd be weakened enough for them to just jump him and put an end to the madness. Hell, they didn't even have to do that much! They could've just loaded up the lifeboats and set the ship on fire on their way out, which would force Dracula out into sunlight anyway. In the books, Dracula managed to make the journey to London because he was a good deal more subtle in his feedings- at first, anyway. Initially, they thought the crew caught some kind of wasting sickness, very likely scurvy (which was both common at the time, and would reasonably explain a good deal of what was wrong with people who had been fed on- including the signature bite marks. Petechiae is a symptom of scurvy). Dracula only began bumping people off directly once he was close enough to London for a change of course to be more or less meaningless.

[@mikoajbaszczyszyn4568]

One thing we have to excuse the crew for is not thinking immediately about vampires, or searching for sus bite marks. True, for us modern ppl, learned in fiction all these warning signs immediately scream: "Vampire!". But this is 1897. The year "Dracula" was first published. It's nearly impossible any of them would have read it, IF they're literate at all. So unless the crew were Romanians, they wouldn't connect the dots. This crew would dismiss the warnings as superstition.

[@GoodwillWright]

Pretty much. They didn't have 10+ years growing up with endless resources of mythos and as you said, that's even if they were literate. Plenty of superstitions going around back then. Why would some blood-sucking count be any different than just another tale to scare children?

[@Sig509]

You are mistaken on so many levels xD. Tales of vampires are present in the human culture for literally thousands of years, dating back to Mesopotamia. Descriptions vary, but the main points are similar. Sure, they do not always seems like the modern vampires, and yes, the book, and fashion that followed popularized, and romanticized them. Simple folk back then had not much of entertainment, and folk stories were one of such things to pass time + people were more keen to believe in supernatural back then. You seem to be Polish, so you should know that "vampires" existed also in the Slavic culture, their Polish variation was named strzyga, which was inspired by strix from the Ancient Rome. Sure, an average person of the time might not know all of that, but we have a whole ship of them. Someone would have known.

[@mikoajbaszczyszyn4568]

@@Sig509 But the modern vampire myth is based on mostly on Bram Stoker's novel. It's also why they're so widespread. You're right vampires exist in different cultures' myths, but you can't expect 19th century sailors to be familiar with a Romanian myth. Nor would they expect anything from the warnings. They wouldn't have any point of reference. I'm doubtful if they would be familiar with myths (vampire or otherwise) of their own cultures.
