Dracula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dracula (or at least his portrayal by Bela Lugosi) is the basis for the Muppet character named Count von Count on Sesame Street. There is a notable encounter between Dracula and Seward's patient Renfield, an insane man who means to consume insects, spiders, and birds, and other creatures — in ascending order of size — in order to absorb their "life force". Some have claimed the castle of Count Dracula was inspired by Slains Castle, at which Bram Stoker was a guest of the 19th Earl of Erroll. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Dracula   (5673 words)

The Monkeyhouse Lounge: Dracula Dracula is indeed a classic film and has probably the most classic monster of all. The most vividly creepy moments of Dracula occur at the beginning when Renfield (Dwight Frye), a real estate agent, comes to Count Dracula's castle in Transylvania to finalize paperwork for the Count's purchase of Carfax Abbey in London. After arriving at Castle Dracula Renfield meets the Count and it is here that Lugosi makes a grand entrance and really establishes the character's charm and creepiness. www.monkeyhouselounge.com /bmovies/dracula.html   (1241 words)

“Is That Your Wife? What a Lovely Neck…” - Nosferatu - Reviews One of the most memorable aspects of this film is the performance of Max Schreck as Count Orlok. While not the first film to feature a vampire, Nosferatu was the first feature-length film based on Stoker’s Dracula. Various historical reports have claimed that Schreck was perhaps a bit too close to his on-screen counterpart, and stories of him sleeping in coffins and avoiding the daylight are common. www.westerncarolinian.com /news/2001/01/31/Reviews/8220is.That.Your.Wife.What.A.Lovely.Neck82308221.Nosferatu-23102.shtml   (753 words)

Dracula (1992) The most famous vampire in the history of literature and film is brought graphically to life in `Bram Stoker's Dracula,' directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and starring Gary Oldman as the Count from Transylvania. Working from a screenplay (by James Victor Hart) that is a faithful adaptation of the novel, Coppola takes an artistic approach to the material and creates some startling and effective images-- some quite intense and erotic-- to tell the story of Count Dracula and his world of the undead. Exacting in detail and imaginatively rendered, Coppola's `Bram Stoker's Dracula,' is an impressive, memorable film. us.imdb.com /Title?0103874   (921 words)

Screening Room: Drac Flicks The cadaverous Max Schreck as Count Orlok is still the eeriest Dracula ever to hit the screen; with his bald pate, hook nose, goggling eyes, and bird-like talons, he looks like a cross between Keith Richards and a startled sewer rat. And while we're picking nits, Count Orlok is hardly a dewy-cheeked youth in either version of Nosferatu, though his depredations don't seem to make him any younger, as they do in the other two films. It could have been worse, though -- in the movie, as in the book, Dracula travels from Transylvania to England by ship; but in the stage play (which could not of course show a sea voyage) Van Helsing hypothesizes that Dracula made the journey by plane! home.earthlink.net /~emfarrell/patooie/dracflicks.html   (2214 words)

Apollo Movie Guide's Review of Scars of Dracula After Scars of Dracula — a Hammer-produced Christopher Lee film — starts out with a bat reincarnating his vampire master by drooling blood upon his remains, you know you’re in for a gory good time, and what the film serves up to follow rarely fails to disappoint. Lee’s Dracula seems a bit more bloodthirsty than usual here, and the various methods that he uses to dispatch his victims makes simply sucking blood from their necks seem positively quaint. The fifth entry in a series that stars Lee as the Count, this movie consists of the rip-roaring sort of classy acted, elegantly produced, yet ultimately cheesy, horror that thrived in the 1960s and ‘70s under the evil eyes of such macabre auteurs as Roger Corman, William Castle, and the Hammer house. www.apolloguide.com /mov_print.asp?CID=3646&RID=   (679 words)

The Satanic Rites Of Dracula Wisely, there were no sequels to this film, but there was another Dracula movie by Hammer- the character featured in the film The Legend Of The Seven Golden Vampires (1974), in which Peter Cushing played Van Helsing for the final time. It was originally scripted as Dracula is Dead and Well and Living in London, and it is unclear how close the finished film is to the original script. The film features Dracula disguising himself as a property speculator called D. Denham, and wanting to destroy the world including himself. www.geocities.com /Hollywood/Theater/5514/satanic.html   (228 words)

Dracula 2000 Dracula 2000 isn't as much of a horror film as it is a 90-minute Calvin Klein ad with a few gallons of blood to spare. The moment the audience realizes Butler makes about as convincing a Count Dracula as Leslie Nielsen and George Hamilton did, the anticipation of Dracula 2000 actually being a good horror movie disappears faster than the audience at a showing of Freddy Got Fingered, and the dread of watching yet another blood-soaked, intelligence-devoid opus settles in. Perhaps Dracula 2000, which begins well and builds up suspense early on, could have been the film to revive the vampire genre, as Scream did for slasher flicks. www.ajhakari.com /d/dracula2000.html   (228 words)

Dracula (1931) Summary: Count Dracula, a social pariah in his native Transylvania, relocates to England, where he attempts to add to his harem of blonde, bloodless beauties. Scariness/Suspense: The lack of bloodshed, combined with Count Dracula's creepy demeanor, make this movie all the more suspenseful. Tod Browning's stagey direction (this is a film version of the stage play) gives the film an otherworldly quality, which is appropriate. www.wsu.edu /~delahoyd/dracula31.html   (171 words)

No-count Dracula / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC Orlok, aka the vampire Nosferatu, was the first screen representation (albeit an unauthorized one) of the blood-sucking gent immortalized in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. The Orlok incarnation crept into the public consciousness in 1922, in German director F.W. Murnau's silent film Nosferatu: Eine Symphonie des Grauens (that is, A Symphony of Horror), which is today widely revered by classic-horror-film buffs. Cinema in the Park, the free film series in downtown's Pritchard Park, will feature Nosferatu as its final offering of the fall season. www.mountainx.com /ae/2003/0924nosferatu.php   (989 words)

Horror Movies and More BLOODY-DISGUSTING.COM This first telling of the classic story was a pre-romanticized version of the Count Dracula, he was not the sexy, charming, or handsome figure that we would later see in many films, in this classic film the character of Count Orlok was eerie and creepy, with pointed ears and a bald head. After the Count’s castle is exorcised he plots revenge on the man who performed the rites by planning to make his young niece his bride. The character was played by Max Schreck, his last name coincidently means terror in German, and his portrayal of Count Orlok is known to many as the most hideous vampire to appear on screen. www.bloody-disgusting.com /features.php?id=7   (883 words)

Amazon.co.uk: The Satanic Rites of Dracula [1974] (REGION 1) (NTSC): DVD This film was originally released in Britain as "The Satanic Rites of Dracula," but that is apparently a very bad adjective to use for a film title (the original U.S. release title was "Count Dracula and His Vampire Bride"). I am rather embarrassed to admit that The Satanic Rites of Dracula is my first Hammer film. Dracula (Christopher Lee) is once again back from the dead, although without any explanation, now calling himself D. Denham, a billionaire recluse who owns lots of property and is engaging in satanic rites (hence the title), including human sacrifies (a form of fasting for vampires?). www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005JA8C   (1624 words)

HOARD MAGAZINE - FILM - OCTOBER 2001 The vampire's name was changed to Count Orlok, and the title "Nosferatu" was derived from the Old Slavonic word "nosufuratu," from the Greek word "nosophoros," meaning "plague-carrier." And in Murnau's film, the rat-looking count is most definitely a plague carrier. This is not the enchanting vampire, Count Dracula, found in other movie adaptations, the handsome aristocrat who charms women with his elegant manner and wit, fancy clothing and mesmerizing sex appeal. Tod Browning, most famous for his film Freaks, but who would also make his own Dracula in 1931, was rumored to have used a contraband print of Murnau's film as a guide. www.hoardmag.com /halloween/Vampire.html   (1204 words)

THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- HORROR OF DRACULA The movie opens with Jonathan Harker (John Van Eyssen) arriving at Dracula’s castle in the guise of a librarian, in a deceptive plot to destroy the vampire count. Christopher Lee is an imposing figure as Count Dracula- the role that made him both a star and horror movie icon. Jimmy Sangster’s screenplay for HORROR OF DRACULA selectively picks elements from the novel designed to maximize the movies elements of horror and sense of gothic style, while keeping the film fast moving and within a rather modest budget. www.thecinemalaser.com /dvd_review_2002/horror-of-dracula-dvd.htm   (883 words)

Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens - Review - Dracula by another name However, the estate agent Knock, as played by Alexander Granach, is also a rather disturbing character at times and Greta Schroeder as Ellen is also well suited to her role as, first, fretful wide and, second, and rather surprisingly for a film this old, the person who saves the day. Maintaining an air of menace throughout even after nearly 80 years, many of the performances that made this film’s name are still impressive today. Later, whilst discussing the sale of the house with Orlok he happens to remove a picture of his wife from his pocket along with some other papers, and is further disturbed when Orlok tells him she has a “lovely neck.” www.dooyoo.co.uk /vhs-title-n/nosferatu-eine-symphonie-des-grauens/80319   (683 words)
