Jump start your Halloween spirit with this classic film!

The Spanish-language version of Drácula was filmed at the same time as the English-language version. While Tod Browning directed the English-language version during the day, George Melford would direct the Spanish-language version at night using the same script and sets. Many consider this to be the superior version of the two, especially from a directing perspective. This film has a more polished look in most scenes than its English-language counterpart. The direction isn't as stiff or stagey as it often is with Tod Browning's Dracula. To be fair, however, director George Melford had the benefit of watching Browning's footage so he had a template with which to work and improve upon. This version is also longer by almost half an hour. There are no added scenes but each scene plays out longer with added dialogue. Often it's just a case of an extra shot or two per scene, with Melford taking his time and building tension. There are also more sound effects in this one as well as bits of music. It helps things considerably, especially in the creepy castle scenes.

Appropriate for ages 13 and up.
