Looks Like Orlok and Nosferatu are using the same picture. Should be pretty simple to find something different- For Looks Like.. there are lots of shots of Reggie Nalder as the villain in the first movie version of 'Salem's Lot, or switch to a poster for the movie.

That pic on Nosferatu is one of the iconic pics from the film so I vote it be left there. From the Salem's Lot options, I lean toward this or this.

Keep the current on this page. For Nosferatu I like the movie poster.

On a trope called Looks Like Orlok, I prefer a pic that is not Orlok.

Change both of them. The OP suggestions are improvement for both pages.

I prefer the current on Nosferatu, one of the suggestions from #1 for Looks Like Orlok.

I agree that 2.2 is the best Salem's Lot pic I've seen. Here it is at the correct size.

[up] I like that. Caption: "This vampire does not sparkle."

Is it possible to mention vampires without mocking Twilight?

Not anymore. Goes double if it's a vampire that stays faithful to the Dracula type of vampires.

It's certainly possible. I'd say it should be encouraged. Surely we can come up with a caption that doesn't rely on a tired meme.

I know I've asked this before, but that was a long time ago: I thought work and trope pages could have the same image?

I agree with, "On a trope called Looks Like Orlok, I prefer a pic that is not Orlok." What other Orlok looking things are out there? I haven't seen this thing around.

I also really think we should have a caption that does not include Twilight.

2.2 seems also good for this trope. I'll express my disapproval for any caption that refers to Twilight immediately.

I feel a reference to Twilight here is acceptable, as Looks Like Orlok is pretty much the polar opposite of Vampires Are Sex Gods and often used in contrast to that (If I well recall Castlevania zig-zags between charming, regal vampires and monstrous Orlok-looking vampires, for instance). If not a reference to Twilight at least a passing mention of Vampires Are Sex Gods would do well for a caption, something like "Handsome, is he not?"

I'd rather go for something less sarcastic, like, "Not as handsome as many modern vampires."

Or "Not all Vampires are Sex Gods" with a link to that trope.

Pothole "charming handsome rogues" to Vampires Are Sex Gods, then.

Shouldn't we decide on a picture before a caption?
