Re: [Sons of Kong] Re: Return of the Vampire!

Hi there.

I quite like the idea of Dracula having a werewolf sidekick but its appearance
is marred by the fact that it looks like a rather cute terrier, it talks and it
wears sports jackets. Nice idea though.

Cheers.

Iain

I've had this one for several years, and at the time I was curious
how it fit into the Dracula mythos. It's clearly supposed to be
Lugosi as Dracula, but of course it can't be. This has a great mood,
and the war setting gives it a better than average thematic
structure. The unexpected highlight of this one for me is the very,
very intriguing Werewolf attendant.

Your point that Dracula actually is a supporting role in this movie is the key to its unusual feel. It certainly frees up the story to move in different...

I really love this one, too. And yes, clearly it's Lugosi as Dracula, though he couldn't be called that. It's atmospheric and very good...and I love seeing...
