Additional Notes:

I've made many alterations in order to unleash a sharper version of this tale. New opening text includes a fitting quote from Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. I've danced around several moments throughout the entire film, helping to keep things flowing gracefully to a steady beat. Some uneven comedy has been removed along with some continuity errors. New sound effects, soundscapes & music cues add vibrancy to the audio, while reving-up the spooky atmosphere & helping to subtly tie this film to my series of Dracula fanedits. A new post-credits shot brings us back to the ballet stage. I've made extensive changes to create my ideal version. I stuck to the original style set by Michael P. Shawver. I didn't want anything to seem obviously changed, but I've mad many alterations in order to keep an even tone & rev-up the tension.
