The legendary story of Bram Stoker was for the movie screen processed countless times, but no picture met with such critical acclaim as the first of the year 1931. On the darkest place of the Carpathian mountains, rises the castle of count Dracula and scaring the villagers in the surrounding region of Transylvania. Bela Lugosi became famous as the best representative of the Dracula of all time. Together with a specialist in horror films, the director Todd Browning (Alonzo, a man with no arms [1927], Freaks [1932]), aptly captured the creeping atmosphere of the story, in which you run cold the blood in my veins. Dracula remains one of the greatest gems in the treasury of world cinema.
