It’s not a movie anybody wants, but probably the most faithful way of adapting Dracula’s epistolary format would be as a found footage movie.

I’d pay money for this.

The Count takes Jonathan’s handheld video camera instead of his shaving mirror. Jonathan’s shaky phone-cam recording of the Count lizard-walking down the castle wall, Jonathan whisper-yelling ‘DO YOU SEE THIS??? ARE YOU SEEING THIS?????’ to what he hopes is some future audience, but may only be his future, doubting self. Jonathan’s phone dropping through his fingers, the camera still recording, catching only the moonlit edges of dust motes swirling into filmy white robes, the whispering of the wind turning into women’s voices, and somewhere offscreen, the wails of an infant.  

Lucy’s Skype sessions with Mina, growing fewer and farther between. Lucy growing paler with each session. The connection from Romania is terrible, but that can’t completely account for how white, how worried her pixelated face appears. 

Jack Seward’s vlog (about two views for each video, one of which is always Lucy).

Arthur on MTV’s Cribs.

Quincey’s Survivorman-style reality show.

Black and white footage from all the past ages of film when Van Helsing is explaining the Count’s history.

Aww, Jack…
