While I think this is a very interesting theory, one major thing doesn’t make much sense. Dracula was a vampire, and was therefore immortal. We know that Victor’s brother was dead, because he needed a magical heart to bring him back to life. Dracula, a powerful vampire, wouldn’t need to be brought back to life as Frankenstein’s monster, because a vampire can live eternally as an “undead” creature. Dracula wouldn’t be a corpse in need of an electric jolt and a magical heart.

That’s a fair point.

PS. EGAD that resemblance is uncanny! 😮

It really is! A friend sent it to me this morning.

Re: his brother. I’ve posted before that possibly Whale’s world is Transylvania. Dracula was known as the Prince of Darkness. In many movies, that featured Dracula, Frankenstein & the Wolfman, Dracula always controlled Frankie. As well, maybe that’s where werewolves originated from and they made their way to the Enchanted Forest. Werewolves were quite often depicted as Gypsies that traveled throughout European countries. Maybe Victor’s brother was a werewolf (personally, I don’t think so).
