	Classic-Horror Review of Son of Dracula (1943)
		Son of Dracula's substance is an easy match for its style, incorporating ideas that wouldn't be repeated again for a number of years.
		She is never portrayed as explicitly evil, and she becomes one of Hollywood's first true advocates for vampirism (both Bela Lugosi in Dracula '31 and Gloria Holden in Dracula's Daughter express a desire to divest themselves of the immortal coil).
		If Son of Dracula suffers for anything (other than poor casting), it is the fact that the plot and character complexities reduce the potential for terror, and Siodmak never really compensates.

	DRACULA: THE LEGACY COLLECTION - DVD
		Dracula's standard two-channel mono mix is scratchy and unremarkable, and its video transfer is a little soft in certain areas while demonstrating a level of grain consistent with the age of the negative.
		Compare Dracula's first emergence from his coffin in both versions: the one is all of the poetry of the symphony of the night; the other is really well lit and choreographed.
		Dracula's Daughter's relative squeamishness, even by 1930s standards, owes to the pressure of conservative groups demanding that Universal tone down the grue--the irony of that and most teetotaller crusades being, of course, that from the rubble of bad thinking and political correctness rises one of the more disturbing--and effective--entries in the classic horror pantheon.

	Son of Frankenstein/Ghost of Frankenstein: Double Feature (1939 & 1942)
		Returning to the ancestral castle 25 years after the death of the monster, the son of Dr. Frankenstein (Basil Rathbone) meets Ygor (Bela Lugosi), a mad shepherd who is hiding the comatose creature.
		Apparently the whole “children of” milieu was the most successful of the horror sequels; Dracula’s Daughter and Son of Dracula were erratic but better than average for the genre, and these two Frankenstein movies offered some of the best material found in the field.
		Son of Frankenstein appears in an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		Dracula's Daughter is the direct sequel to the 1931 classic although it did not appear until 1936.
		Dracula's Daughter presents us with the interesting proposition of Dracula's vampiric daughter longing to be freed of the curse that afflicts her.
		Son of Dracula, on the other hand, leaves the viewer with a sense of disappointment and disdain (which only manifests itself when the viewer actually awakens from the sleep-inducing stupor of the whole experience).

	Dracula Legacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Dracula is Stoker's tale of the immortal count, the 'undead', a creature who prolongs his life-after-death by feeding on the blood of the living.
		Dracula is prosaic by today's standards: slow moving and cryptic, and belying far too much of its literary and stage roots: whole sections of the book (particularly in Renfield's dialogue) are delivered word-for-word.
		However, Dracula remains a landmark: a star-making vehicle for Bela Lugosi (though it was also a curse: he would never be able to shake the role), and the beginning of Universal's horror cycle (at least in talkies).

	[No title]
		Both films are worth seeing, with "Son of Dracula" a standout, with an unusually strong story, plentiful effects, a fast pace and a surprisingly bleak ending.
		While "Dracula's Daughter" is a good film for what it is, it completely lacks the bizarre intimations of the supernatural that infuse "Dracula" like the fog in both movies infuses London.
		Alucard, no surprise, is the Son of Dracula of the title, a sleek and suave foreigner with a not-quite-hidden streak of brutality.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Dracula's Daughter / Son of Dracula
		Dracula's Daughter, completed on Friday the 13th in March 1936, is not merely a sequel as we're used to them today — it's a direct continuation of Dracula that furthers the story, even down to the disposal of the Count's body by the title villainess.
		Dracula's daughter was conceived as nothing less than a 1930s dominatrix with a dungeon full of appropriate gadgetry, seen at one point keeping Dracula's three vampire brides in line with a whip!
		Today, beyond the aficionados, Dracula's Daughter is best known for an effective scene wherein the Countess, operating from her artist's flat in Chelsea and stalking the fogbound streets wearing a fl hooded cloak and hypnotic ring, victimizes a pretty young street girl, a scene cited for its suggestion of lesbian overtones.

		And it's the only one of the Universal classic Dracula films where we actually see the vampires turn into mist, and the first one where we actually SEE Dracula turn into a bat.
		And the vampire expert in Son of Dracula, Dr. Lazlo, said that this one is probably a descendant of the original Dracula.
		So I don't think it can be more clearer that the Dracula we see in Son of Dracula IS the SON of Dracula like the title suggests.

	Into Liquid Sky - Movie Reviews
		For those who don't know (shame you), Dracula is based, albeit loosely, on the Bram Stoker novel of the same name about a Transylvanian Count by the name of Dracula who moves to London.
		Later versions of the Dracula tale may be more action-oriented or laden with effects, this version does a great job, though it tends to be more glossy and polished in comparison to Nosferatu (1922), which is considered an unofficial first-telling of the Dracula story.
		Dracula's Daughter (1936) picks up the story after the original ends - Van Helsing is arrested for the murder of Dracula as he comes out from just staking the vampire.

		“Dracula’s Daughter” is nothing like “Dracula.” Gloria Holden’s performance seems somewhat stilted though she does manage to elicit some compassion as a victim of Dracula’s evil who wishes to become mortal again before giving up and feasting on unsuspecting English folk.
		Finally “House Of Dracula” is actually a sequel of sorts to “House Of Frankenstein,” which is included on the “Frankenstein” Legacy collection DVD set.
		The English Two-Channel Monaural Soundtracks for “Dracula’s Daughter,” “Son Of Dracula,” and “House Of Dracula” is all remarkably clear.

	Horror Bob Presents: The Horror Review - Egregious Gurnow's Review of "Son of Dracula" (1943)
		The premise itself is admirable due to the inversion that it proposes: Instead of having the villain seduce innocents, we are host to the philosophical voyage of a woman in love attempting to retain the adoration of her mate for all of eternity.
		Sadly, due to the script’s didactic nationalism and moralizing, Katherine is forced to conform by the “proper” members of society as they set out to rectify the situation (this is after the Count renounces his homeland as “dry and decadent”).
		Further refutation of traditional vampire folklore includes the note that someone who has become a vampire as a result of Dracula’s feeding may retain his or her immortality even if the master is put to death.

	Son of Dracula (1943 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Son of Dracula is an American horror film released in 1943.
		Despite the title, the film leaves it ambiguous as to whether Alucard is the original Dracula or the character's son.
		Although the movie is often considered a sequel to the 1931 film, in it, Dracula is described as having been destroyed in the 19th century, when the original novel was set but not the earlier film.

		Van Helsing, realizing that Dracula is indeed a vampire, tries to prepare Mina's fiance, John Harker, and Dr. Seward for what is to come and the measures that will have to be taken to prevent Mina from becoming one of the undead.
		Dracula's Daughter takes the story in an interesting direction, giving us a vampire who seeks help in freeing herself of the Dracula curse, and Gloria Holden gives a formidable and nuanced performance as the daughter of the Count.
		Many Dracula fans will of course be aware of the fact that Lon Chaney, Sr., was the original choice to play Dracula in the 1931 film; his death opened the way for the relatively unknown Bela Lugosi to take on the role he had already played hundreds of time on stage.

		Son of Dracula is a musical comedy film released in 1974 by Apple Films, starring Harry Nilsson and Ringo Starr.
		Starr and Nilsson were longtime friends, and Starr had played drums on Son of Schmilsson, which had spoofed horror movie motifs.
		Nilsson thought at first the whole idea came from his recent album; as it turned out, Starr hadn't followed its release, and until then-wife Maureen brought him a copy, he didn't even know Nilsson had already used a similar theme.
