Source: Dracula (Movie)
Speaker: Count Dracula
I vant to suck your blood!
Context
Many people think this line is spoken by Count Dracula, played by Bela Lugosi, in the film Dracula, directed by Tod Browning (1931).
Dracula was a vampire's vampire. None of this moody emo stuff, like the vampires we have today. He could turn into a bat, he could dissolve into mist, and he loved nothing more than a fresh serving of hot human blood. But Dracula just showed up and bit people—he didn't announce his intention to do so first.
He never said this line. Not even close.
Where you've heard it
You've heard this if someone is dressed up as a vampire for Halloween and gets a little too into their costume. Come on, man. You're not fooling anyone.
Pretentious Factor
If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.
No self-respecting vampire has ever thought of saying this line. And doing a bad Transylvanian accent is just so last century.
