"House Of Dracula" (1945)
-Lon Chaney jr, John Carradine

The last of the "serious" Universal horror films. Good performances by the actors, but a standard story. Not a great movie but lots of fun.



"Dracula" (1931-Spanish Edition)
- Carlos Villarias, Lupita Tovar

If your a Dracula fan this is a fascinating film to watch. Made at the same time as the Lugosi film (but at night) and on the same sets with a near identical script.
But this film has a very different feel to it. Villarias has an almost madman look to him when he attacks as opposed to Lugosi's more seductive look and Lupita Tovar is much sexier then Helen Chandler. I won't say it's a better film then Lugosi's (which is one of my all time favorites) but I think it's just as good.
