"NOTE: This is a review of the original print from the "Universal Monsters Classic Collection" that was released on VHS years ago. "Renfield" (Dwight Frey) has traveled from London to Transylvania on business at "Castle Dracula," a run-down castle owned by the mysterious "Count Dracula" (Bela Lugosi in his most famous role which he first performed on stage). The "Count" has decided to leave his native country for London, where he has rented property, to which "Renfield" is bringing him the lease to sign, despite being warned not to go to the castle by fellow passengers on the coach he is riding to the village "Castle Dracula" looks over, and the villagers -- all of which believe that Castle Dracula is home to vampires. The "Count," who indeed is a vampire, quick;y gains "Renfield's" trust and offers him something to eat. He then places "Renfield" under his power. "Renfield" becomes "Dracula's" maniacal servant who craves the blood of small insects. "Dracula," with "Renfield" in tow, ... "

"The vampires of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight novels are described as impossibly beautiful. But it’s one vampire, “Edward Cullen,” who is written as having such appealing details that it would seem impossible for a girl not to fall in love with him. In actuality, that’s what has happened to most females, young and old, who have read the books. And while his cinematic portrayer, Robert Pattinson, doesn’t quite resemble a marble statue of Adonis, the actor is still getting his fair share of seven-year-old suitors asking to be bitten. Cullen is hardly the first vampire to so strongly attract the hearts (and necks) of mortals. But what is it about the bloodsucking undead that turns us on so much? Is it truly their stone-white skin and chiseled features? Or perhaps it’s their ability to go all night long? Let us take a look at the many vampire love interests that literature and cinema have given us over the years in an attempt to find out their sexy secret. 1819: Lord Ruthven from The Vam ... "

"It’s Halloween, a time when sales of candy and rentals of horror movies spike off the charts. Candy has been around since the time of the ancient Egyptians, but the horror film is barely 100 years old. The genre is enjoying a resurgence in popularity over the past several years: right now you’ve got Saw V in wide release, Let The Right One In in limited theaters, the vampy teen Twilight coming up in a few weeks and True Blood making waves on HBO. Studios can’t seem to go more than a few months without releasing some sort of a zombie flick, and vampires are coming back into their own. But what was the first real horror film? Before movies existed, people had to get their scares from books and the local newspaper, but now you can just switch on cable and tune into NBC’s Chiller channel for instant scares. Check out a brief history of the horror movie after the break, and look just how far we’ve come.

"For me, Dracula is one of those great movies that go beyond the simple appreciation for fine cinema. This is on a relatively short list of movies that I have a deeply personal response to. I have been under its spell since I saw it for the first time in the sixth grade, and every time I watch it, I see something new and compelling. It's layers are endless. It is a great horror film, yes (the first of the sound era), with some moments that are still eerie after seventy-six years, but it is more than that. It is about love, morality, sex, death, and dreaming, among other things. I have never seen a film that is so successful steeped in atmosphere and psychological imagery. It's a like a dream of Sigmund Freud. The film opens as a clearly effeminate lawyer named Renfield (Dwight Frye) heads to Tran "

"I know its true intent was to be terrifying... but I honestly thought it was hilarious – at least, for a modern movie, it would be laughable- but in its time, this sort of movie gave people horrific nightmares for weeks. A true inspiration in its time "
