Cape Cad

In he glides with an air of suspense
His eyes widen, his stare is intense
While his manse falls apart,
He looks handsome and smart,
But his sidekick seems terribly dense.


A commanding Béla Lugosi and a cowering Dwight Frye, in Dracula (1931). Title by post-cad Norm Knott for Vampire Weekends. You'll find the latest essay by Norm (Jim) for The Third City blog, here.
