Dracula (1931)
Dracula (1931) starring Bela Lugosi, Dwight Frye, Edward Van Sloan, directed by Tod Browning
Synopsis of Dracula
A truly great adaptation of the classic vampire novel. Dracula is the story of the European vampire who comes to England to find fresh victims … And stumbles across a young woman who reminds him of his long-lost love. This is actually based on the Broadway play, and not directly on the original novel by Bram Stoker.

Dracula’s Daughter
Dracula’s Daughter (1936) starring Gloria Holden, Otto Kruger, Edward Van Sloan, Marguerite Churchill
I have to admit to being pleasantly surprised by Dracula’s Daughter–the first sequel to the classic 1931 Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Unlike so many of the later Universal Dracula movies, Dracula’s Daughter does not attempt to revive Dracula. Rather it looks at the aftermath of his destruction, through the eyes of his daughter, Contessa Marya Zeleska. She is a very reluctant vampire, played wonderfully by Gloria Holden.
