When real things happen to imaginary people

I'm the same way with a (rather large) handful of films and books. The films include Sweeney Todd, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, The Phantom of the Opera, the Coppola rendition of Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, The Crow (not ashamed!), Labyrinth, and Interview With the Vampire. As you already know, Dracula is a talisman of sorts for me. It comes with me everywhere, and I assign myself scavenger hunts of sorts each time I re-read it.
