Bela Lugosi As Count Dracula DRACULA (1931) Dir Tod Browning

Winter landscape with convent church, 1859 - oil on canvas — Carl Hilgers (German, 1818 -1890)

dark the netflix show and rusty lake/cube escape the games are the exact same thing

gritty northern european horror fantasy thrillers about fucked up little places, fate, religious symbolism, confusing af family trees, shady family-owned business, funny looking vintage sci fi machines, time travel and fucked up clans in fucked up little towns in the woods with goregous aesthetics ranging from victorian through 80s to modern, people dying, cave and old hotel, animals dying, a whole plethora of Torture Devices, experiments, a hard boiled detective that fucks around and *really* finds out, going to therapy but the therapist being just as fucked as you or straight up evil, cults and sacrifices, clocks, a Bad Vibes lake, a place called paradise, recurring symbolic geometry (the triquetra in dark and the cubes in rl) etc

nobody will ever convince me that these two don’t take place in the same universe (pun intended)
