The 3 female vampires in 'Dracula' may have been inspired by the 3 witches in Macbeth. This dark play was often staged at the Lyceum Theatre, which Bram Stoker managed. His boss, actor Henry Irving, was a model for the Count. This photo is from a trailer for the 1931 film 'Dracula'. #FolkloreSunday #Folklore #gothic #ShakespeareSunday #books #literature #vampire #vampires #mythology #Shakespeare #weird #theatre #horror

@david_castleton I really need to read the original novel, which I never have. I recently read "Carmilla" which is said to be the first vampire novella.
