Grabbing a thread from the past.
I bought the Dracula/House of Dracula set a couple of months ago and watched Lugosi's Dracula for the first time last night (I know, it's criminal I took so long).
And I wasn't impressed. Sorry. Different era and all that, but I found Renfield to be the highlight of the film, he was truly creepy in places (when he approached the unconscious maid was a highlight).
The small documentary on the disc gave some good background to the film, the theatre roots explained alot of what I didn't like, and the Spanish clips looked far superior, I'd love to see it but that version isn't in my set.
How does House of Dracula compare?
