Here’s mine!
In answer to your question, the certificate is “signed” by publisher James Warren himself (I’ve always wondered about the number - is it legit, or do all the certificates have the number 2278?)
And while the ad copy makes clear that there’s nothing mystical about the amulet, I can confirm that my supernatural powers are at their peak while wearing it.

Huh? As your link clearly shows, the films stars Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula and it’s based on Stoker’s novel by way of the original Murnau film.

I was thinking of authentic Hogwart’s n.s. You can even get it via Twitter.

Sorry, they lost me at 1:08 when Dracula stepped into the bright sunlight and nothing happened.

In the novel, he did walk about in sunlight. I think he wasn’t quite as powerful then, though.

Blame Bram Stoker. Dracula was out and about at all hours.
Nosferatu was the vampire with an allergy to sunlight.

Bram Stoker never answered the most important question though.
Did Dracula sparkle in sunlight?

You can get a “fancy” more modern version for $69. Not as cool as the old one, but probably appropriate for wearing to business meetings. You should be able to wear your Dracula Dirt in all situations.
