It's the kind of perfect combination. 02:23 I think it's tricky with Dracula because he clearly is a monster, 02:26 but he's always very charming and very debonair and very suave 02:30 and looks great in a cape. 02:32 Why does death always come as such a shock to mortals? 02:36 So, I think he was conflicted there, and I think people like the bad boy as well. 02:41 He gives everyone a great time and then kills them, unfortunately. 02:45 Try and stay calm. 02:46 You're doing very well.- advertisement spot 2020
