Let's get over the Wednesday hump together with hypnosis in pop culture. Today it's with Sir Anthony Hopkins as Professor Abraham Van Helsing and Winona Ryder as Mina Murray in the visual feast that is Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Mention of this film isn't complete without shining a light on what is arguably the main character of the production: the sublime costume design of Eiko Ishioka 🖤❤️

Looking back, there was an extreme amount of detail in both the costume designing and set designing as well. Heavy gothic overtones sprinkled with macabre elements as well. And you are right; these details were just as much the star in this movie as the great Anthony Hopkins, Gary Oldman, and others were.
