a little slow for today's audiences, but very moody and atmospheric

I feel that one thing needs to be cleared up regarding the score. This film did NOT have a score. The only music was in the opening credits and the theater scene. A score was done in 1998 and the 1999 VHS release came with that score. DVDs and Blu-rays allow you to watch either way you wish.

Dracula is a classic Universal Monster Movie that brought Bram Stoker’s horrific tale to the silver screen. Bela Lugosi dons the cape and gives an iconic performance as Count Dracula. And, the sets and matte paintings are quite impressive and still hold up; creating a surreal and nightmarish atmosphere. However, the story has been streamlined to make it more of a battle between Dracula and Van Helsing. For the 1930s, Dracula is a strong and frightening film that’s especially well-crafted.

I do agree this has a marvelous soundtrack while being an adaptation is good, but as a movie about Dracula it doesn't live to the book.

Instead, after handling the requisite introductions (and gaining control over a lowly realtor), Dracula boards a ship bound for London a More

"The blood is the life, Mr. REINFIELD"



At three years old this was my first horror movie. My great-grandmother is the one who sat me down and showed me great Bela Lugosi as Dracula. This entire movie is timeless and classic. The very best of all the Universal horrors.

I saw this with a marvellous piano accompaniment that really did showcase the delights of silent cinema and the talents of a pianist who can play, non-stop, for seventy five minutes. Though Bela Lugosi takes top billing as the eponymous character, I felt the film really belonged to his assistant "Re More

**_A tall, dark and mesmerizing vampire comes to London from Transylvania_**

“Dracula” (1931) was based on the play rather than the novel, but the basic Bram Stoker tale is there with alterations. In its time, this was great. Talkies had only been around for a handful of years. Don’t expect More
