    These outfits reminded me the movie Van Helsing. I love the ballroom scene where Dracula doesn't have a reflection in the mirror. Although... I think Angel is going to hate not being able to see himself in mirrors!!!! 🤣💖 #vanhelsing #dracula #huskerdust #halloween #hazbinhotel

    When they filmed the movie 'Van Helsing' in Prague they needed one hundred couples who knew how to ballroom dance. Everyone thought this was going to be difficult to set up, but it turned out that literally every extra they hired could waltz. Back in Soviet days, the country didn't have a lot of money for sports equipment, but every school had a record player. They taught the kids ballroom dancing for the Physical Education requirement.

    You call them live service games, yet so many of them are dead. Meanwhile my copy of Van Helsing the hit Xbox game based on Van Helsing the hit movie continues to provide a fully live service of Huge Ackman in a cool hat killing monsters and pretending to be Dante Devilmaycry.

    Look, I can't lecture others for enjoying low brow entertainment. I literally own a copy of Van Helsing the game based on Van Helsing the hit movie. But if the limit of your creative imagination is "hit TV show, but with famous dead actress instead", I beg you to go and engage with some actual art.
