Dracula (1931)

★★★★★

Dracula is a 1931 horror film directed by Tod Browning, with Bela Lugosi as the infamous Count. The legendary vampire leaves Romania and ventures to England, with his insane-stricken servant Renfield (Dwight Frye); This insectivorous practically steals the show as far as I am concerned.

It is not long before Renfield is taken to a sanatorium, which happens to belong to Dr. Seward (Herbert Bunston), the father of Mina (Helen Chandler), a young women whom Dracula soon begins preying upon. Professor Van Helsing (Edward Van Sloan) begins to suspect something. Thoughts are confirmed when he and Mina's sweetheart, Jonathan Harker (David Manners), notice that Dracula's refection does not show in a mirror.

★★★★★

Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is a 1948 release, directed by Charles Barton, and starring the famous comedy duo in which the title mentions. Baggage clerks, Chick Young (Bud Abbott), and Wilbur Grey (Lou Costello) are to make a delivery to the McDougol's House of Horrors; two crates containing the remains of Count Dracula (Béla Lugosi), and Frankenstein's monster (Glenn Strange). Both creatures awaken, and make a stealthy escape, though it's not long before Chick and Wilbur are on the trail. The Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.) also makes an appearance. With a mix of both classic comedy and iconic horror characters, this will be a great watch for Halloween, as well as any other time of the year.
