Like Sherlock Holmes, Robin Hood, and Batman, Dracula is an iconic fictional character that seems to have a new adaptation every other year. He’s had over 200 films created about his conquests and been portrayed by some of the finest actors in the industry. Netflix collaborated with the BBC on its own series, co-written by Steven Moffat, who is mostly known for Doctor Who. Over the course of three episodes, the series explores the story laid out in Bram Stoker’s horror masterpiece Dracula written in 1897, from Jonathan Harker’s arrival at Castle Dracula to the famous vampire’s eventual pilgrimage to London....

Even as word of mouth is a strategy that seems to still be working, traditional advertising is no longer as profitable as it once was, because consumers have changed their habits. Moreover, another option could be digital advertising on different websites, but there are many people that use ad blocking systems so they are able to surf the web without having ads that bother them. This is why influencer marketing is a strategy that has become a must-do for many companies, because people are interested in it and it doesn’t feel as intrusive as other methods....

When Ben Affleck stepped down as Batman earlier this year, fans had mixed feelings about it. Some fans considered him to be the best Batman in movie history, while others considered certain parts of his take to be a disservice to the character.
