AHOY MATEYS IT'S DEMETER DAY!!! 馃殺

Side note, I've said this before but: I wondered if the Re: Dracula folks were trolling when they cast Jonathan Sims, who played a dork with a posh British accent chronicling tales of horror into a tape recorder in The Magnus Archives, as Dr. Seward, a dork with a posh British accent chronicling tales of horror into a phonograph. But I figured I was maybe reading too much into things.

Then they cast Alasdair Stuart, who played a gruff and isolated sea captain in The Magnus Archives, as the gruff and isolated captain of the Demeter, and I knew they were trolling.

when you think about it, the voyage of the Demeter is just old-timey Alien

@nev furthermore I think that movie would NOT be a retread of Alien, precisely because the titular creature is blissfully unaware of the ship's destination and therefore has no intentions towards it - whereas Drac _absolutely_ intends to make it to England, and has to manage his predations to do so.

@nev I think that gives rise to a very different set of conflicts - and _Dracula_ provides permission for the protagonists to fail in their attempts to stop him.

We know the ship makes it, the last crewmember found dead and lashed to the helm
