One of the notld films, a talking head on tv keeps getting asked questions and keeps going "we don't know"...."we don't know".

For over 90 years this film has been praised and loved by many and it deserves to be, I just thought I’d give my quick opinion.

I first saw it about 10 years ago on DVD. I watched it again a few years later projected on a large screen. I then watched it a couple years ago when it was released on 4K Blu Ray, and now I’ve just watched it on VHS.

I love classic horror and I love vampire films, I’m not sure if this is blasphemy but I’m not the biggest fan of this film.

Don’t get me wrong it is great and I do like and enjoy it, but not nearly as much as other Universal horror films from the 30s and 40s.

I know it is the first sound horror film from Universal, and it’s one of the earliest sound films in general, but I just find it quite slow at times.

There is almost no music in the film at all, I understand they were still figuring out how to go about making sound films and they hadn’t yet figured out or had the ability to use music to fill in the awkward silences, but it felt as though certain scenes were so slow and drawn out… awkward is the only way I can describe it.

The first time I watched it I never noticed it, but after seeing a few YouTube videos about it it’s almost impossible to not notice the editing error that takes place when Dracula preys on Mina.

It’s a lot to explain so I’d recommend looking at YouTube videos on it, luckily it doesn’t affect the flow of the movie and it’s something you wouldn’t notice until you’re told about it, but it’s impossible to not think about every time I see it now.

With all that being said, this film is an awesome watch and a great piece of film history, Bela Lugosi IS Dracula and there’s no doubt about that. Bram Stoker made the character, but Bela Lugosi brought it to life and he is what people think of when they think of Dracula.

It’s a great film and I highly recommend if you haven’t seen it, it’s just not my favourite Universal horror but that’s just my opinion.

My favorite Mexican classic is Poison for the Fairies.

So I was born in 1960 and grew up a monster kid reading monster times, and famous monsters of filmland. In 1968 a 8 year old asked his parents to go to NYC for vacation. Why my mom asked why, to building King Kong climbed. We went to Williamsburg and I to wait till I was 21ti go with friends. Sell I bought my first Kong autograph last week it came today.

If all the monsters where to team up who would be the leader

hey!! i’ve tried looking at screenshots and seeing what the pendant looked like and i can’t for the life of me make out what it is. i’ve tried looking it up but i’ve seen several designs—namely the hand, or the wolf man’s face, or the wolf head from his cane.

does anyone know what it actually looked like in the movie?
