Cast-Backwards



From an alley this spectre will slink
Grab a gal's slender neck for a drink
He is famously cursed...
Has his name been reversed?
Count Alucard...heck, do you think?




Lon Chaney, Jr. is Count Alucard, aka the Son of Dracula (Robert Siodmak, 1943). "Sdnekeew eripmav" is Vampire Weekends spelled backwards.

The whole point of the film is Alucard/Dracula's quest for a new land not one literally sucked dry by his depredations(often quite literally)- "what I need, what I MUST HAVE!"

That's certainly HIS plan, but I wouldn't describe it as the "whole point" of the film. Katherine has her own plan, and makes Drac a cuckold--not exactly a sub-plot.
