It is wretched that this collection of Universal Dracula films were only released in this mega-DVD collection as a means of promoting the film Van Helsing, but the principal thing is that they were released - including the inimitably unique House of Dracula on DVD for the first time. This collection inspired its absorb kind of bloodlust in my Dracula-loving heart, and I imagine all fans of Dracula and Universal’s classic monsters movies of the 30s and 40s have either already purchased this site or are saving up the money to do so. Objective view at the bounty of riches included here: the unique 1931 classic Dracula starring Bela Lugosi, which you can belief with both its current find as well as the unusual gather calm by Philip Glass and performed by the Kronos Quartet; the fabulous and technically reliable Spanish language version of Dracula; Dracula’s Daughter (1936) ; Son of Dracula (1943) starring Lon Chaney, Jr.; House of Dracula (1945) ; an modern documentary, The Road to Dracula, discussing the making of the English and Spanish versions of the new film; a commentary by film historian David J. Skal on the unusual film; theatrical trailers for the films; and, last and certainly least, a explore at how the fresh Dracula franchise influenced director Stephen Sommers in the making of his original film Van Helsing.
I waited a long time to gaze the Spanish version of the Dracula, and it lived up to its reputation. A worthy more complete and compelling version of the film, aided by an additional half hour running time, this movie equals or excels the English language version of the film in all ways - except, of course, for the performance of Bela Lugosi, who simply is Count Dracula. As for the Lugosi version, I’m torn between the two scores. As a traditionalist, I tend to favor the unusual earn, but determined scenes, particularly those gripping Dracula’s predatory arrive to his victims are made distinguished more distinguished with the addition of the Glass accept. Either plan, though, Bela Lugosi is the main attraction, and his iconic performance defines Count Dracula to this very day.
The three Dracula sequels vary in quality, none of them living up to the reputation of the fresh. Dracula’s Daughter takes the sage in an intriguing direction, giving us a vampire who seeks befriend in freeing herself of the Dracula curse, and Gloria Holden gives a formidable and nuanced performance as the daughter of the Count. Son of Dracula, on the other hand, sparkling powerful lays an egg in my concept. The only challenging thing about this movie is the debate over the legal identity of the Count - is he Dracula? the son of Dracula? a relative of Dracula? In the kill, it really doesn’t matter, but it seems clear that the blood of Bela Lugosi’s Count Dracula certainly doesn’t rush in the veins of “Count Alucard” because this original bloodsucker on the block isn’t the smartest vampire in the castle. Many Dracula fans will of course be aware of the fact that Lon Chaney, Sr., was the modern choice to play Dracula in the 1931 film; his death opened the map for the relatively unknown Bela Lugosi to pick on the role he had already played hundreds of time on stage. In Son of Dracula, Lon Chaney, Jr., gets the chance to don the cape; Chaney earned his residence of fame in the Universal monster pantheon, but he didn’t procure it as the Count - his performance is nothing short of tiresome, aided not one iota by a surprisingly dilapidated script from the hand of Curt Siodmak.

The addition of House of Dracula to The Dracula Legacy Collection is a very vast deal, for this is the first time this film has found its method to DVD. House of Dracula is a really unique film, as this sequel of sorts to House of Frankenstein features not only Count Dracula, but Frankenstein’s monster and the Wolf Man as well. John Carradine plays a quite pedestrian Count Dracula, while Lon Chaney, Jr., plays the Wolf Man; Frankenstein’s monster is played by Glenn Unusual, but the monster plays only the most minor of roles in the epic. The action takes state in Vasaria (wherever that is), where Dr. Franz Edelman (Onslow Stevens) is pursuing his occupy rather wacky scientific experiments, placing substantial hope on some novel kind of spore he is growing in his private dinky hothouse. Both Count Dracula and Larry Talbot (the Wolf Man) approach seeking his help; Talbot’s wish to banish the Wolf Man manifestation from his life is understandable, but Dracula’s reasons for seeking back are never made definite. In the course of trying to serve these two special patients, Edelman runs into the body of Frankenstein’s monster in a cave underneath his sanitarium (in a rather ho-hum fashion, no less) . As you might interrogate, this association with three monsters turns out to be a unpleasant thing, leaving Edelman in a heavenly abominable fix himself. It’s somewhat difficult to bewitch this movie seriously, but it does provide some wacky fine fun in a campy sort of plot.
There is a little risk interested with purchasing The Dracula Legacy Collection, but the rewards are worth the risk. Unprejudiced be careful opening the case - even if both of the DVDs (one of which is double-sided) remain in plot, you are likely to pick up a small knob underneath each one unprejudiced dying for the chance to scratch a disc.
THE DRACULA LEGACY collection is a nice package including the new DRACULA starring Bela Lugosi in an iconic movie that endures on. Also included are the Spainish version of DRACULA (shot on the same sets at night as Bela’s version!), the sequels — DRACULA’S DAUGHTER, SON OF DRACULA, and HOUSE OF DRACULA (all three monsters note up for the finale) . You gather five movies, and some vast extras. Like many reviewers I found one disc rolling around the inside of the package. Fortunately it was not scratched! That’s the only downside to these collections I have found.
You score the 1931 new appearance of a cinematic DRACULA! With two soundtrack options - listen to it in its fresh almost quiet version, or chose the revamped Phillip Glass soundtrack version. Todd Browning who directed this classic was foremost a still film maker, and DRACULA was designed to be shown in theatres with and without sound. So its almost creepier and more effective to behold it with its long spooky silences intact. But Glass is a expansive musician, and I bask in his soundtrack as well. It really depends on mood. And for fun check out the SPAINISH version which traditional the same sets. Beautifully shot, and considered by some technically profitable to Browning’s film! It uses more camera moves and visual effects.

The other films are a string of B sequels that are peaceful a lot of fun. Gloria Holden as DRACULA’S DAUGHTER is surprisingly creepy and troublingly lesbian in tone. She only attacks women! SON OF DRACULA is campy fun with Lon Chaney Jr. sailing through smokey swamps. HOUSE OF DRACULA is the ultimate monster mash with Frankenstein, the Wolfman, and Dracula making appearances in this last sequel to the Universal monster franchise before they all appeared in an Abbot and Costello movie that killed them for a while.
But they live on! My only beef with the extras is one where Stephen Sommers talks about how DRACULA influenced VAN HELSING. I don’t want to tie my 1931 version of a classic to this year’s Summer Hit. But in a method it proves …
