The captain, drowned, was tangled in the mizzen chains

Guys guys, remember like a year and a half ago I said something about their making a movie just about the one sequence in Dracula where the ship Demeter sails to England carrying a load of boxes which, unknown to the crew, are actually Dracula's coffins plus Dracula himself?

They're apparently going to make the movie.  The LA Times says so,

He is Legend

[negothick]

Stoker would be amused to find his modern invention turned into ancient lore:

"Rapace is expected to play a stowaway on the boat, which according to legend arrived at its port with no survivors,"

I want to see this movie, too. I was wondering what they would do to give shape to the plot--add a sexy stowaway, bien sur.

add a sexy stowaway, bien sur.

Wouldn't you know it. And not just any sexy stowaway, but one who looks like Noomi Rapace.

according to legend

And they sang that old folksong, "Shoals of Herring", on the voyage. ...Seriously, in a way I think that's how you know you've Made It, when people assume you're legend. (I Am Legend?)

Have you heard this? (scroll partway down the page for the Dracula material)

Ooooo! Audio theater! I am going to save that as a special delight for after the events of this weekend are over. Thank you! It looks great, and I love radio plays.

Omigosh, that's perfect timing for my Halloween audio project! Too cool.

I know, hunh? It's a good idea whose time has come. That's always been one of my favorite parts of the novel, so I was very glad you picked it.
