Boris Karloff (formerly Frankensteins monster) as the mad scientist, Lon Chaney as the Wolfman (he played Dracula in the previous film), J. Carroll Naish as a hunchback and Glenn Strange as Frankenstein s monster.
Was this the inspiration for the new attempt at a shared monster universe? Don t think that will come to pass, seeing how poor the new films are.
There's the literary version and then there's the popcorn version. I don't mind the latter to be honest. :)
Me neither but it would be nice to have a faithful adaptation from time to time. Harry Potter had it, Lord of the Rings had it, why not Dracula?
Of all the classic horror stories I think Jekyll and Hyde would be alongside Frankenstein the most difficult to adapt, because everybody knows the plot twist.
I didn t care much for Carradine as Dracula here.
A few funny moments, but overall poor.
Directed by Mehmet Muhtar, and starring Atif Kaptan as Dracula. This is the first film where Dracula is shown to have fangs.
The North American Blu-ray of The Satanic Rites of Dracula, however, has been pushed back to November 13th.
Funny I watched it recently. Hated that movie.
Renamed as HORROR OF DRACULA in the US so as not to be confused with the Lugosi/ Browning movie from 1931.
This was the first of many with Fransisco Scaramanga as the Count.
The same year one of my new favourites also came out.
THE RETURN OF DRACULA directed by Paul Landres, and starring Francis Lederer as Dracula. It takes place in California and Dracula uses the alias of one Bellac Gordal, whom he has killed and taken the identity of. Known as CURSE OF DRACULA on television and THE FANTASTIC DISAPPEARING MAN in the UK. Lederer reprised the role in a 70s tv series.
A partial anagram of Bela Lugosi and Dracula combined?
I too thought there was a reference there.
I've never seen any of the Lee Drac films on the big screen. Actually I believe it's a college auditorium screening so it's not really in a movie theater. Still, though looking forward to it.
That's one of the good ones too.
The only Dracula movies I've seen in the cinema are : the Lugosi 1931 version, Dracula's Daughter, Son of Dracula, the Langella version and the Coppola version. Oh, and the Mel Brooks spoof.
Yes! Not the classic of the first, but well done!!!
The cinematography in this one is by Michael Reed whom we know from OHMSS three years later. Barbara Shelley, the horror film queen also has a part here. Come to think of it, I have seen this one in the cinema as well.
I love ANDY WARHOL'S DRACULA. I imagine that must have been fun to see in the cinema. Very much a cult classic.
I can t quite remember, I was a teenager and saw hundreds of movies at the time, on video and in the cinema. But it didn t leave a very positive mark, I think.
Stuntman Chuck Courtney as Billy the Kid.
Here is a review of the movie.
Great review. BILLY THE KID VS DRACULA is a fond favorite of mine. A lot of fun. Some great Carradine moments:
HOW DARE YOU INTERFEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!!!!!!!!
Tonight Ii went to a 16mm screening of DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE (1968).
I had a blast and there was a decent turn out. This was an open matte Technicolor print, though a few frames were replaced with a reddish faded Eastmancolor stock.
I'd never seen a film print screening of a Hammer horror before tonight and it goes to show how vibrant and rich film stock is compared to digital DVD or Blu-ray.
For instance on the DVD the blood is very bright and looks a bit like stage blood. On film it's thicker and richer. Darker. I have yet to see HAS RISEN on Blu-ray.
The film had it's share of scratches, but that made it all the more charming, and the sound was excellent. Looked to be a 1:33 aspect ratio as opposed to 1:85 or whatever.
Lee projected on the big screen as Dracula oozes in menace and danger. Damn, now I want to see all of his Drac flicks on film.
