Luigi is, I think, better in this than in Dracula. I also feel he was better in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Probably because his English was better. Whatever, Bela really brings it in this. And Andreas is a cool version of a werewolf! The makeup was a bit sad, but the concept made it work. Also liked the Blitz setting and the comic relief fellows. It's just a great Dracula pastiche.

Yes, the werewolf makeup is kind of terrible (compared with Pierce's in Universal), yes the story has holes, but it's very enjoyable and it gives Lugosi another chance to show his vampire character. As you say, putting a female in charge was also rather bold. <br /><br />And it has good "vampire science". By that I mean when people in movies talk and research and read book about vampires. I love that.The Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604204981457343496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-77592080959259835502007-08-15T22:16:00.000-07:002007-08-15T22:16:00.000-07:00The above deleted commented was a 1000+ word spam....The above deleted commented was a 1000+ word spam. <BR/><BR/>To the anonymous poster, please do not spam my page again, any such spam will be removed.Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-47325350450321595302007-08-15T18:25:00.000-07:002007-08-15T18:25:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
