Dracula? YES! And Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Phantom of the Opera, etc.

Moriarty? bleh, how dull when compared to so many others but that's just my opinion. Believe it or not, Graham was going to be Sherlock instead of the Huntsman when the pilot was being scripted but the idea was dropped due to the "Sherlock" series being on about the same time. Dracula was also in Henry's book in the pilot script but was dropped as well.

Cruella De vill is the one choice I'd dread because...what could she do really? Steal Pongo from Archie? She'd be a less powerful and influencial Season 1 Regina. Plus it would rob Once of managing to be it's own fairy-tale show despite being owned by Disney. Yeah, I know they use Disney names and Ariel is a reworked version of the disney character but still. I'm also not crazy about plans to include Frozen and Brave in season 4 but that's another story.

Aside from the aforementioned horror characters, I'd love for King Arthur's mythology to have some focus in season 4. I could see Merlin as an ally and Morgana la fey searching a ruined camelot for the Dreaded Black Cauldron to ressurect the first Dark One, either Chemenborg or the Horned King. I also see Merlin as the son of Zoso, Rumple's predecessor, constantly fighting his heritage and endevoring to use his power for good. He could be the one to show magic in a positive light.
