I'll be doing these for October. Instead of just an all-in-one post drop, I'm going to add them as I watch them.
DRACULA
(Tod Browning, 1931)
"Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!" Now, that's a line! I'm off to a very good start with Bela Lugosi's portrayal of the Bram Stoker villain. Beautifully gothic with jaw dropping production design and cinematography, this is the tale of Dracula as he kills many and pines for the beautiful Mina. This is only the second Browning film I've seen, I saw Freaks many years ago and loved it. Lugosi is obviously iconic, but I also really loved Dwight Frye as Renfield. GRADE: A-
