Could Ian McKellen’s aristocratic vampire from the Pet Shop Boys ‘Heart’ music video get a look in in this category? I find that one tantalising, because one can so imagine him having a serious go at a Stoker-accurate Dracula.
Love this project by the way, and I’ve gained a lot of fascinating knowledge from it.
