Viewing Notes

Been so long since I’ve seen this. Didn’t even recall that Donald Pleasence is in this! This might be my favorite “Dracula” movie. I like how they portray the period with the sets and costumes. They nail the atmosphere. Langella’s Drac is super creepy too. Not sure if it was meant to be but this is almost a black and white movie with very little color. Could be the transfer but I don’t recall it being that way from my viewings on HBO back in the day.

I had forgotten a lot of the table setting but the finale has stuck with me for all these years.
