	Dracula: Encyclopedia II - Dracula - Movie television and play adaptations
		Filmed in Yugoslavia and England, it was a fairly faithful and moody piece.
		In 1995, Mel Brooks did a comedic parody, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, which parodied all of the standard Dracula themes, but especially noteworthy was the scene where Dracula's reflection was noticeably absent in a mirror as he danced at a ball, to the horror of those watching.
		While he is not confirmed directly to be Dracula, Drake is implied to have lived under several different aliases and personalities, one of which may have been the infamous vampire.

	Dracula (1958 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dracula is a 1958 British horror film, and the first of a series of Hammer Horror films inspired by the Bram Stoker novel Dracula.
		In the United States, the film was retitled Horror of Dracula to avoid confusion with the Tod Browning directed Dracula (1931) starring Bela Lugosi as the Count.
		The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964)

	The Film is the life, Mr. Renfield
		Although Badham's film appears to borrow the spider-web imagery from the opening sequence of the 1930 film by creating a breathtaking design of sparkling webs overhanging Lucy (Kate Nelligan) as she dines in the Count's home, it does so in order to subvert its meaning from the original film.
		In Bram Stoker's Dracula, the film magic that so impressed Dracula is a key component to the film, which is why Coppola and his second unit director Roman Coppola chose to shoot the film in a style that consciously reflects the early days of filmmaking.
		Dracula's point of view, unavailable in the novel as the story is exclusively told from the point of view of the vampire hunters, is mediated through these film techniques.

		Dracula has been criticised for its lack of pace and goriness, with the climax of the film occurring offscreen.
		Dracula, or Horror of Dracula (1958), was essentially a remake of the 1931 film, but better, with good use of colour and stirring performances from Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing.

	Frank Showalter » Dracula (1958) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Dracula (or Horror of Dracula as it's known in the USA) is fantastic.
		Though the majority of the film falls on Peter Cushing, who's Van Helsing is great fun to watch especially in the second half, Christopher Lee manages to command a huge screen presence in his limited screen time.
		My only criticism, and this is as much a testament to the film's greatness as it is a flaw, is that the film is too short.

	Dracula (1931)
		On account of Universal's success with this classic Dracula film, the next year, Browning went on to direct the truly bizarre, classic horror film Freaks (1932) for MGM - a controversial and grotesque film that has achieved cult status, and was banned for almost thirty years in Britain.
		In Murnau's film, the rodent-like Dracula (Max Schreck) was renamed "Graf Orlock." [The film was released in England as Dracula.]
		One night, during a performance of the London Symphony at the Opera House, an elegantly-dressed Dracula hypnotizes a female usher/hostess and commands her to interrupt Dr. Seward (Herbert Bunston) in his box, telling him that he is wanted on the telephone.

	Dracula (1958) aka The Horror of Dracula
		To an audience that had been raised on the Bela Lugosi Dracula (1931) and the cardboard, melodramatic figure that Dracula became among the Universal monsters lineup in the 1940s, this film must have had an incredible shock value.
		Countess Dracula (1970) is a Hammer film but not a Dracula film and in fact tells the legend of Countess Elizabeth Bathory.
		As director Sangster made three films:- The Horror of Frankenstein (1970), the lesbian vampire film Lust for a Vampire (1971) and the psycho-thriller Fear in the Night (1972).

	Exclamation Mark's Vintage SciFi/Horror Review: Dracula (1931) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		For me Bela is the classic Dracula and I have always had a fondness for this film, yet I can't deny that Hammer's Dracula was way more frightening and had more of a great graphic look.
		But in fairness to Universal, Dracula came out in the late 30's while Hammer's Dracula was released probably in the early 60's which of course explain some differences that each had.
		It's not that the film is filled with blood and violence, but that modern viewers are so numb to such things that a film of this subtlety is greatly lost on them.

		Instead, the film was wholly set in and around Dracula's castle, with the Holmwood's home not more than a few miles away.
		Escorting him to his room, Dracula exchanges pleasantries with Harker, explaining that he won't be available the next day, upon which he leaves Harker for the night, locking his bedroom door as he does so.
		Van Helsing attempts to stress the severity of the danger Lucy is in, but as to be expected, his advice is mostly unheeded and Lucy, welcoming the Count into her bedroom later that night, is found dead the next morning.

	The Forgotten Fifties Dracula (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Dramatic as resurrection may be, vampire films usually have to cut away or employ special effects to avoid the incongruity of the undead one crouching, squatting, scrambling and perhaps banging his knee.
		It lends a false coloration to a film, wherein fl areas are green, white areas mostly yellow, and gray and patterned areas bluish.
		It was worthwhile to see the film in the presence of an audience, for it disclosed something: the film habitually teeters on a precipice.

	Classic-Horror Review of Horror of Dracula (1958)
		Changed to Horror of Dracula for the US release (to prevent confusion as Bela Lugosi’s Dracula was still playing in the theaters), this film put Hammer on the map.
		This film sets the bar high in the "mood" department and Hammer Films never met this standard again (with the possible exception of The Hound of the Baskervilles).
		Horror of Dracula is one of those horror gems that come around once in a lifetime… or at least as many times as Lee decides to wear a cape.

	Horror of Dracula on DVD reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
		Not only is "Horror of Dracula" Hammer's best Dracula film, it's the best horror movie of the 1950s, and one of the best horror movies ever made by anyone, anywhere.
		But Dracula, his face smeared with blood, bursts into the room, and in an excitingly-staged, surprisingly energetic fight, disposes of Harker and sweeps out of the room, carrying the girl.
		The first scene in the library, when Dracula enters with a leering, blood-smeared face, is one of the greatest and most influential shock scenes in movie history.

		Speaking of terrible film roles, Ed Wood would later have Lugosi reprise his zombie-calling, hand-clutching-hand maneuvers in Bride of the Monster.
		The heroine of the film is Ann Darrow, played beautifully by one of the earliest scream queens, Fay Wray (The Vampire Bat, Mystery of the Wax Museum).
		It is not only a wonderful film for its genre, but it is a great accomplishment in cinematic history, period.

		The film 'Interview With The Vampire' introduced many new readers to the world of Anne Rice and hopefully, the follow-up 'The Queen of the Damned' will do the same.
		The film which introduced a new generation to vampire films by virtue of it's spin off series remains sharp, funny and polished, if not as achingly hip as the television version.

		This is the first film to really mine the erotic appeal of vampires: Dracula seduces Mina and Lucy like a devil tempting good to the dark side through sex--more suggestive than explicit, but daring for 1958.
		Lee is Dracula, Cushing is Dr. Van Helsing, and "Horror Of Dracula" is one of the best horror films of the fifties, one of a small number from the latter part of that decade that would set the stage for numerous fright films to come over the next 15-20 years, both Hammer and otherwise.
		Dracula himself is, perhaps surprisingly, seen relatively little during most of the show.

		Lawyer Jonathan Harker (John Van Eyssen) arrives in Transylvania to close a real estate transaction with the reclusive Count Dracula (Christopher Lee), discovering all too late that his client is a vampire, who intends to suck the blood out of every available neck in England.
		Dracula's demise is staged in spectacular fashion, best seen in (you'll pardon the pun) full-blooded Technicolor.

		Despite Lee's protestations that he has appeared in 200 movies other than the Dracula outings, his perfection in the role means that it is as the elegant blood sucker that we will always remember him.
		This sequel lacks the sustained bravura of the classic Dracula (1958) but opens stunningly as he disintegrates at the hands of Van Helsing - only to be revivified by a trusty servant who mixes the blood of a murdered tourist with his master's ashes.
		Although uttering no threats or curses (it's rumoured Lee thought the dialogue rubbish and just refused to say his lines), his intentions, particularly to the two heroines, are clear.
