yyy:”DRACULA,”
As Dracula, Bela Lugosi wears a maniacal expression, sometimes flits in and out of windows in the form of a bat.
“DRACULA,” from Bram Stoker’s novel, is a fantastic story of a human vampire who lived hundreds of years by drinking human blood.
Bela Lugosi, star of the stage version, plays the part of the vampire in the movie
“Dracula.” Its success inspired Universal to make “Frank-enstein,” which surpasses “Dracula” for cold horror.

1 Count Dracula, a human vampire, encounters a lovely victim in Mina Seward (Helen Chandler) and greedily sucks blood from her throat.

2 Though He Died 500 years ago, he can rise each night because some of his home soil was placed in his coffin. By day he must sleep on this soil.

3 Continuing His Horrible advances to Mina, Dracula now has her complete-y in his power. He carries her to an-ient Carfax Abbey, in England.

4 Suspecting Betrayal, after Mina had been discovered by her fiance, Dracula strangles Renfield (Dwight Frye), a young lawyer who rented him the castle.

5 Changed Into a Vampire, Mina now lusts for human blood. She makes advances to her fiance (David Manners) after he has rescued her from Dracula.

6 Dracula Is Discovered in his coffin, powerless in the day. Mina’s fiance and a friend finally kill him (and free Mina) by stabbing him through the heart.
