Deafula: 1970s version of Dracula in ASL

[kestrell]

Hold on to your seats, I just found out about this: someone made a version of Dracula entirely in ASL. The bad news is that of course it was an experimental 1970s thing and of course it has the expected poor quality, but you can find it on Youtube

or, supposedly, on DVD

I heard about Deafula on Switched at Birth, but somehow I thought it was an in-show thing rather than a real one!

Deafula is also the name of a 9-issue (so-far) zine by Kerri (as with most zines, fundamentally pictures).

Thanks! I have a housemate who really appreciates finding out about deaf art--she just got a Covid mask in Pride colors that fingers spells the ASL alphabet--so I'm sending her this link.
