In this in-depth retrospective, I tell the story behind the one that started it all: 1931’s “Dracula”, starring Béla Lugosi as The Count. I delve deep into its rocky development, cursed casting process, and messy production, as well as its public reception and timeless legacy, all while providing my own thoughts on the film. Also starring: Helen Chandler, Edward Van Sloan, Frances Dade, David Manners, and Dwight Frye. Directed by Tod Browning. Produced by Carl Laemmle for Universal Pictures.
Cinephile, amateur critic and video essayist. No movie is off limits! From Bergman to Boorman, from Batman Returns to Batman Begins, new and old alike! This is basically my excuse to talk about movies, so I hope that’s something you enjoy …
