In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Van Helsing & Dr. Seward take several trips to Hampstead to investigate these newspaper reports of some "Bloofer Lady" preying on young children.

During one of their trips in Hampstead, they catch a hansom cab near The Spaniards Inn.

I edited this shot for a more reddish look inspired by the look of Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation, which has a strong use of the colour red.

Great Eastern Hotel by Brett Sheehan

28 1

This building used to be The Great Eastern Hotel on Liverpool Street, & is just next to Liverpool Street Station.

In Bram Stoker's Dracula, in response to Dr. Sewards asking for help with Lucy, Van Helsing requests he arrange a room for him at this hotel.

"My Good Friend,-

"When I have received your letter I am already coming to you. By good fortune I can leave just at once, without wrong to any of those who have trusted me. Were fortune other, then it were bad for thoe who have trusted, for I come to my friend when he call me to aid those he holds dear. Tell your friend that when that time you suck from my wound so swiftly the poison of the gangrene from that knife that our other friend, too nervous, let slip, you did more for him when he wants my aids and you call for them that all his great fortune could do. But it is a pleasure added to do for him, your friend; it is to you that I come.

Have rooms for me at the Great Eastern Hotelm so that I may be near to hand, and please it so arrange that we may see the young lady not too late on to-morrow, for it is likely that I may have to return here that night. But if need be I shall come again in three days, and stay longer if it must. Till then good-bye, my friend John,

"Van Helsing."

Hampstead by Brett Sheehan

17 5

There is a section in Bram Stoker's Dracula which takes place in Hampstead. Children are lured away by a mysterious "Bloofer Lady" (they mispronounce beautiful), & they are later found with bites on their necks.

Van Helsing takes Dr. Seward into Hampstead to investigate the matter & to convince him & the others (Arthur & Quincey), that it is Lucy Westenra, & they destroy her to put her at peace.

Looking at this quiet road, I can easily imagine it as a place the "Bloofer Lady" roaming on looking for children to prey on.

Tranquille Farms by Jessie T*

Kamloops BC

The buildings in the distance are of Tranquille which was once a self-sustaining community but is now, basically, a ghost town. A few days before official stay at home orders were issued I got notified by my theatre group of a casting call that was going out for extras forVan Helsing which is a vampire series on Netflix. They were to be shooting for a few days out at Tranquille.

I was conflicted. I've always wanted to be an extra and always wanted to see inside the buildings of Tranquille. In addition, the pay would have been around $200 a day for 2 or 3 days of shooting, But I was already about 2 days in to self-imposed self isolation. And there were guidelines about physical distancing and about no gatherings involving 50 people or more. I didn't see how they could possibly keep those so I passed on the casting call. :-(

Jack Straws Castle by Brett Sheehan

14

In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Van Helsing & Dr. Seward dine here in Hampstead when they go to investigate the attacks on children by the mysterious "Bloofer Lady." This section in the book really frightened me when I first read it.

I used a yellow filter (as recommended) on this film, which resulted in this greenish look. I still like the results though.

The results of shooting this film with a filter remind me of the tinting in classic silent films, which is appropriate as Nosferatu turned 100 in 2022, & Coppola's Dracula has the short part where he is walking around London & it is all a fast grainy looking footage.

This scene was filmed with a really old camera from the silent era (I can't remember what type of camera it was).

I edited this in Photoshop to give it a more reddish look, as Coppola's film as strong reds

Dracula's House by Brett Sheehan

Standing a little bit inside Green Park, the house with the scaffolding is believed to be the house which Bram Stoker modeled the Piccadilly Property Count Dracula buys in the book.

Jonathan Harker, Van Helsing, & Dr. Seward wait in Green Park while Arthur & Quincey go for a locksmith so they can discreetly enter.

In Bram Stoker's Dracula, Van Helsing & Dr. Seward dine here in Hampstead when they go to investigate the attacks on children by the mysterious "Bloofer Lady." This section in the book really frightened me when I first read it.

Its tricky getting used to the view finder being mirrored, so this is why this shot is crooked.

The Spaniards Inn in Hampstead is mentioned in Dracula. During one part where Van Helsing & Dr. Seward are investigating the child attacks in Hampstead, they catch a hansom cab near The Spaniards Inn.

This type of film requires a filter for colour balance, as it will result in a blueish tone like this.

I think the look of this type of film reminds me of the colour tinting look in silent cinema.

The blueish look in this shot makes me think of the day-for-night technique used in Murnau's Nosferatu (the section on the ship), which turned 100 in 2022 (I took this in November last year).

The Carter Twins by Ed's Toy Box

I used the Liesel Van Helsing headsculpt for my "sexy librarian" Phicen figure even when I knew I wanted to use it for my not-Lara-Croft custom. Debated for a while what to do about the match -- whether to ignore it, or make them the same person in 2 different arenas (like Indiana Jones). Settled on the idea that they're actually twin sisters, Laura and Liesel Carter, with Laura doing the field work and Liesel being the rear-echelon support. Liesel is the older twin.

Laura can do her own research and computer slinging, while Liesel can handle herself just fine, too. They just tend towards their natural affinities: Laura was always more of the jock while Liesel was always more cerebral.
