Viewing Notes
Had my eye on this one for a while being that it’s a Lugosi vampire flick that I haven’t seen. Considered getting the blu-ray but found it available to view at Internet Archive. Haven’t been there in a while!
Anyways, this is an ideal film for October. Lugosi isn’t reprising his Dracula role but rather a different vampire that just happens to look and sound like Dracula. LOL
He has a werewolf assistant who is great. It’s set during the war while the actual war is actually happening at the time. That’s a nice addition to the story. This is a fine old-timey vampire movie with a good cast. Wouldn’t mind owning it someday.
