There is something profoundly "incel" in the notion of the vampire.
Often depicted as a lonely, ugly man LDARing in an old castle, already dead but still clinging to life in some dreary way, vampires have a thirst for the blood of young women in particular.
One wonders whether the fertile imagination of central Europeans did not extract the "vampire" from the figure of old aristocratic bachelors who died unmarried.
The 1979 masterpiece remake of Nosferatu by Werner Herzog could arguably be described as a film depicting the life of an incel. Nosferatu falls in love with a young woman, but she is absolutely terrified and repulsed by his ugliness.
I am personally an enormous fan of Stoker's original novel, of the two Nosferatu movies, of all the Dracula Hammer movies, and to a lesser extent the 1992 Dracula by Coppola.
