[Sculpt]

I watched Horror of Dracula the other night. I had only seen the end of it at some point, coming in late for one of the "Monstrous Movies" on TV, no doubt. I liked it. I would have liked more interaction between Jonathan Harker and Dracula, and then Van Helsing and Dracula. I thought the first interaction between Jon and Drac was interesting, but that would be the last word Christopher Lee would speak. Having Drac no longer interact is a fine choice for the film they did, as it keeps him more mysterious. That's just a preference on my part (some of the best parts of 'Dracula 31' are the interactions between Van Helsing and Drac.) Both John Van Eyssen and Peter Cushing were excellent.

It's tough picking the one I enjoyed the most. I've only seen parts of a few of them in the poll. Of the ones I've seen, I think I'd have to go with Nosferatu 22. It surpassed all my expectations.

Both silent and talky films can done well -- but not surprisingly, I prefer talkies. Most old silent films often have the actors take unnatural posses to facilitate the coming text to read, which I don't think was necessary. I don't like being stoned, but I think Nosferatu would have been even better had it been done as a talkie -- which of course wasn't considered reliable for feature length films at the time. I can already see the posts reading, "I wouldn't change a thing!", but that's my opinion on Nos.
