The creatures run over her feet and around the men who just discovered her, including Reeves as Jonathan Harker, Mina’s husband, and Hopkins as Abraham Van Helsing. Only then does the vampire turn into a giant bat and then a pile of rats. For context, the sequence occurs at the end of the movie’s second act after her character Mina Harker is discovered drinking blood from Dracula’s chest. In a new interview with The Sunday Times, Ryder recalled when director Francis Ford Coppola attempted to emotionally prepare her for a scene by shouting, “You whore! You whore!” over and over again, and getting the rest of the male cast on the set to join in. Once the perennial Gen-X star of the ‘90s, she still carries a loyal following of fans who swear by the mantra of “Winona Forever.” It appears that Keanu Reeves and Anthony Hopkins may be among them, as per Ryder’s most recent recollection from making the classic vampire movie Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992). Winona Ryder has been in the news quite a bit this week.
