Comment

Arrived in England from Transilvania, count Dracula settles in a ruined abbey and seeds death in the neighboorod. Suspicious, professor Van Helsing understand his misfist and will defeat him, piercing his heart with a small pole.  Master interpretation of Bela Lugosi in the role of a seductive fascinating Dracula, with a foreign accent and refined manners. Leggendary his phrase: "I' m Dracula, I bid you welcome". Though it was not the prototype of the vampire-movie tradition (Murnau’s Nosferatu preceded it 9 years before), but most famous to the great audience.
