The Corrupted Cog

Harry Kellar (1849–1922) was an American magician of the late 19th and early 20th century, famous for his large stage shows during which he’d perform tricks such as the “The Levitation of Princess Karnac” and “Self Decapitation" (in which his head seemed to float apart from his body). He was hugely popular in his time, inspiring the likes of Harry Houdini, and reportedly acting as a model for the bald-headed wizard in the The Wonderful Wizard of Oz published in 1900 — http://buff.ly/2pqza4I

Today, May 26, is officially recognized as World Dracula Day, honoring the publication of Bram Stoker’s legendary novel Dracula in 1897. More than a century later, Dracula remains one of the most influential figures in horror, gothic culture, cinema, and dark literature.

What makes Dracula timeless is not just the vampire myth itself, but the atmosphere surrounding the character. The novel introduced readers to a world filled with shadows, castles, fear, seduction, and the eternal struggle between darkness and humanity. Its influence can still be seen today in horror films, gothic fashion, music, and modern vampire stories.

Over the decades, countless actors portrayed Dracula, but few became as iconic as Bela Lugosi, whose haunting performance in Dracula helped define the vampire image we still recognize today.

Pinocchio refuses to take medicine, prompting the Blue Fairy to summon a group of black rabbits to act as undertakers.

This scene highlights a darker, more surreal tone often found in the original story compared to some adaptations
