My favorite movie from these two! Plus the movie had some of my favorite monster actors too. Lon Chaney, Jr., Glen Strange and Bela Lugosi! I have to admit although funny, this movie scared me to nightmares when I watched this re-run as a kid. I would dream all the time that Frankenstein would crash through my wall but that didn't stop me from watching these great monster flicks!

Lugosi, the youngest of four children, was born Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó' in Lugos, Hungary on October 20, 1882. On arrival in America, the 6-feet-1 inch, 180 lb. Lugosi worked for some time as a laborer, then returned to the theater within the Hungarian-American community. He was approached to star in a play adapted by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston from Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. The Horace Liveright production was successful. Despite his excellent notices in the title role, and appearances in some American silent films, Lugosi had to campaign vigorously for the chance to repeat his stage success in Tod Browning's movie version of Dracula (1931), produced by Universal Pictures.

A classic scene with the prince himself, Christopher Lee. This is the third of Hammer's Dracula films and the second to star Christopher Lee. He declined a part in Brides of Dracula, because he didn't want to be typecast. Lee cemented his position as Lugosi's heir to the part here, despite having no dialogue. The screenplay reportedly had Dracula uttering lines like, "I am the apocalypse!" which Lee refused to speak aloud on film and really, who can blame him?
