Dracula @ Netflix Watch Instantly (req. acct.)

Bela Lugosi turns in a landmark horror performance in this 1931 adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic vampire novel. Revisit Transylvania for the eerie mood created by spectacular cinematography and Lugosi's oft-copied take on the infamous Dracula. Dwight Frye as Renfield also helps define the grotesque and sniveling sidekick role.

Hairy Green Eyeball remembers Thrills and Chills magazine..

"THRILLS & CHILLS was a magazine published for school-aged children by Scholastic in the mid-'90s. It was designed to appeal to the same readers who were devouring the line of GOOSEBUMPS books by R. L. Stine. It lasted only a dozen issues or so. An issue had 24 interior pages in black and white, and a color cover. It probably wasn't colorful enough for young readers raised on TV, video games and other full-color distractions..."

Greenbriar Picture Shows has yet another amazing post up. This time, a look at "The Pair That Curled Your Hair", Dracula and Frankenstein!

"...For seven years after their initial release in 1931, showmen regarded them separately. Playdates were infrequent as Universal provided sequels (Bride Of Frankenstein, Dracula's Daughter) beginning right where originals left off, but there were gold deposits untapped even as the mine's route lay not hidden, but in plain sight. The magic was in combining them, but nobody thought of that until seemingly bungled reissues of Frankenstein and Dracula suddenly caught fire together in August 1938..."
