Oh, my very favorite Dracula has to be Louis Jordan. Mmm. Frank Finlay as Van Helsing.
We gotta go to the crappy town where I'm the hero!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Here's a short film that I haven't watched yet: Oscar Wilde's Frankenstein

I threw a huge Halloween party one year and put the Langella Dracula on the iMac as background. Within 2 minutes the entire room full of fully costumed adults hit the carpet in rapt attention. Most everyone said it was their favorite version.
God help me, I really like Dracula 2000 too. "Never, fuck with an antiques dealer!" Yeah. Guilty pleasure.
