The beginning of a new chapter is a big deal in Fortnite. It brings a brand-new map players will be inhabiting for quite a while, along with a slew of new weapons, NPCs, quests, and locations. With the arrival of Fortnite chapter 7 season 1, though, we are also getting other changes, large and small, making for a better and more chaotic game.

The first time the words Fortnite and Quentin Tarantino appeared together ahead of this new season, it sounded like such an odd fit. For one, Tarantino is an avowed supporter of physical media, to the point that he only screens movies printed on film at his two Los Angeles-area theaters.

Vampires, in literature and folklore, were much like zombies, fairies, and other monsters. They hurt people and drank blood because that's just what they existed to do. They were creatures people should fear, not complex beings with personalities and motivations to build a story around. Bram Stoker's Dracula (the actual character Dracula, not Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula) marked a turning point in vampire storytelling, as his Dracula is a lot like your stereotypical depiction of a callous aristocrat: entitled, selfish, prone to wrecking things just to satisfy some whim or urge. Good versions of Dracula hone in on those and other pieces of his personality, like his menace or seductiveness, and do something worthwhile with them. That includes Castlevania's take on Dracula, which, despite being a story-light video game series, often gets the vampire villain right in ways that films struggle with.
