Dracula



Thrills (#85); Quotes - "Listen to them..." (#83); Villains - Count Dracula (#33)

This movie is a bit creepier than Frankenstein, due to Bela Lugosi constantly staring into the camera (the flashlight on the eyes effect is funny). He also has a minion with a nightmarish laugh. And I think it's interesting that while we consider the name Dracula synonomous with vampire, the characters in the movie did not. I suppose that makes sense though. The ending, however, just might be one of the worst ever (not the worst - that honor goes to 2001). It just ends, as if the scene was cut in half.

I did learn something from this movie though - apparently there are armadillos in Transylvania.

And to my favorite blog reader, this clip's for you:
