"Well, if I can't say Sandi Griffin's Dracula, why does Brad Stoker get to say Brad Stoker's Dracula?"

It's a double birthday blog post today, because both Bram Stoker and Margaret Mitchell were born on this day in 1847 and 1900. Stoker, of course, is the author of Dracula--although Sandi would like to lay claim to the story as well. Mitchell wrote Gone with the Wind, which not only inspired a couple of alter egos and a line in "I Don't" (Jane's "Oh, Scarlett, you grow lovelier by the day!"), but the film also featured heavily in "Aunt Nauseam."
