As a romanian I can confirm Halloween wasn't a thing for us until like 10 years ago. Still isn't a serious holiday, but we have other traditions regarding ghosts in the fall. We share food for the dead relatives and have superstitons on St. Andrew's about supernatural. And if you come here don't bring up Dracula, people roll their eyes, we're better than that.

@alexsavutube 7 ай бұрын

I knew the place. It was a normal strip club like all the strip clubs in the world, they just rebranded "Dracula" to lure in all the overpaid foreigners working on the movie. The production team did all kinds of of ridiculous excesses from renting strippers by the week to buying dozens upon dozens of wood carriages and abandoning them after. One of the auto park bosses used a brand new Land Rover to kill a wild boar which he ate. Foreign employs that had local drivers made them break the law in front of police to see who can pay more bribes on a route. There was no respect or common sense in the spending.

There is SO MUCH MORE to Transylvania, yet, most unfortunately, Americans get transfixed by the Dracula thing. Bram Stoker never even visited the area! People somehow take a bit of kitsch Hollywood imagery and associate it with a place - even though the connection is quite recent and weak.

@kyodj5 7 ай бұрын

Don't we all associate ideas to places we've never been to? Hopefully an open mind would keep oneself understanding that this is a glimpse of fiction about a real place, but it's understandable how it's viewed. Can you guess how many times, since I'm from Texas USA, I've been asked if I have a cowboy hat and eat steak?

@solomonarbc 6 ай бұрын

Funny thing is, aside from the castle(s) (birthplace) and the time Vlad the Impaler spent under Hungarian "protection" there is very little Transylvanian about him - 100% South Romanian looks (appearance), Orthodox and Voivode/Prince (Ruler) of Wallachia (Southern Romania) and cousin of Stephen the Great (of Moldova), as well as grandson of Mircea the Elder of Wallachia. So in Romania, he is perceived as way more influential in relation to the Southern Romanian part of history and heritage. His darker "legacy" is also derived from the struggle against Ottoman Turks, as traditional enemies of Wallachia, in that time period (Moldova was also fighting off Hungarians, Poles and Tatars).

Now keep in mind, this was before nerd culture really became a huge thing. It was growing, especially with the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter franchises being massively popular. However, Comic-con at that time wasn't something celebrities were too keen on showing up to. It was a reputation thing. That's why Natalie's face was like "Um no thanks..." during her response lol. She did the Star Wars movie, which probably was just a job to her, but going to the festivals seemed a bit much. Now it's a much bigger deal and it's expected to show up to those events.
