Gaaah, gratuitous spider scene! Not needed, dammit!
(with Gorey set designs) that I later saw starring Raul Julia (pretty hot).
I don't think there are words to properly express my envy about you getting to see that.
Hey, man, where are my pants? I have my hippo dignity!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

1979, baybee! My first trip to NYC and my first Broadway show.
I bet Scrappy saw that production.
I gotta tell you, when the first act ends with Raul coming through those French doors and scooping her up, there was an absolute panic of sexual tension swirling through the theater.
People were just fanning themselves with their Playbills at intermission.

Well, YES. This does not surprise me.
I have the big (original printing!) Edward Gorey toy theatre book for Dracula, thanks to Ginger!

It was seriously the second most exciting thing I've ever seen in a theater.
First, being the Angel coming down at the end of the first act of Angels in America.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh, my very favorite Dracula has to be Louis Jordan. Mmm. Frank Finlay as Van Helsing.

The BBC mini-series, right? I just ordered that from Amazon.

Yes, that one. I know Dracul wasn't French, but my ghod. I didn't think anybody could out-seduce Langella, but Jordan did. In a very cold, chilling way, but still irresistible.

DISCO DRACULA!
Who knew vampire sex looked like a James Bond title sequence?

Holy crap - that's available? I've been wanting to see that for years.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oh, IMHO that's the best Dracula ever committed to film. Certainly the closest to the book I've ever seen.
