    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.”

          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??

              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

        Speaking only for myself, within a year of being turned into a vampire if I want a castle I’m getting a castle.

      If you’re immortal

      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.

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