Note: I personally own five editions of Dracula, but The New Annotated Dracula with notes and essays by Leslie S. Klinger is by far one of the most impressive guides to not only Stokers’ text but everything surrounding in from the man himself, to his personal inspirations and the countless litany of Dracula-related media that … Continue reading

I actually opened up more than I thought I would. My apologies if my sentiment makes you sick, next time I promise punch, pie and unicorns. 😀

Technically, Masterpiece Theatre’s Dracula (made exclusively to television by BBC in 2006) would have been a miserable failure- it’s too short, it glosses over several important factors and it’s quite an unusual piece to be released by the normally prestigious production company. However, what ultimately saves it (and us) is that it takes a deliberate step to … Continue reading

Filmed simultaneously with Browning’s production during the nighttime hours, using the same story line, same sets, same schedule and same budget (more or less), George Melford’s Spanish reflection of Tod Browning’s film is a curio in early talkie cinema. Not to say Spanish ‘Dracula’ doesn’t have some nice things to offer because it does, more than … Continue reading

Funny what time and emotional maturity does to you. When I first viewed Universal’s first of their many Golden Age releases, I honestly didn’t think much of it. Yes, I had heard this was not THE first Dracula adaptation (and neither wasNosferatu for that matter), but it was this film that embued pop culture for … Continue reading

Luke Evans is handsome. Not bad for a Welshie. Upon seeing the first major theatrical trailer (which I analyzed not too long back) I remarked that I would not expect brilliance from the film because something inside of me was certain it would not be an exercise in brilliance. Of course we talk at length … Continue reading
