Dracula: The Legacy Collection (1931-1945) Dracula / Dracula (Spanish Version) / Dracula's Daughter / Son of Dracula / House of Dracula;
For the first time ever, the original DRACULA film comes to DVD in this extraordinary Legacy Collection. Included in the collection is the original classic, starring the renowned Bela Lugosi, and three timeless sequels, featuring such legendary actors as Lon Chaney Jr., John Carradine and others. These are the landmark films that inspired an entire genre of movies and continue to be major influences on motion pictures to this day. Disc One: DRACULA (1931) with original Philip Glass Score (5.1 surround). Although there have been numerous versions of Bram Stoker’s classic tale, none is more enduring than the 1931 original. The ominous portrayal of Count Dracula by Bela Lugosi, combined with horror specialist director Tod Browning, help to create the film’s eerie mood. DRACULA remains a masterpiece not only of the genre, but for all time. 75 min. Disc Two: DRACULA (1931) Spanish Version. Filmed simultaneously with the English language version, the Spanish version of DRACULA is a completely different, yet equally ominous vision of the horror classic. Utilizing the same sets and identical script, cinematographer George Robinson and a vibrant cast including Carlos Villarias and Lupita Tovar deliver this chilling and evocative tale. 104 min. DRACULA'S DAUGHTER (1936) Picking up where DRACULA left off, Dr. Von Helsing (Edward Van Sloan), thinking he has rid London of all vampires, is instead arrested for murder. Meanwhile, the beautiful and mysterious Countess Marya Zaleska (Gloria Holden) appears in London seeking the understanding Dr. Garth (Otto Kruger), Von Helsing’s psychiatrist. A mysterious sequence of events leads Von Helsing and Garth to set off to Transylvania after the elusive countess and to rescue Garth’s beautiful fiancée (Marguerite Churchill) in this classic thriller. 72 min. Disc Two: SON OF DRACULA (1943) Lon Chaney Jr. dons a cape as Count Alucard (that’s Dracula spelled backward), the bloodthirsty son of the famous Transylvania vampire. And when a beautiful Southern girl, Katherine (Louise Allbritton), invites him to the U.S., they both set out to satisfy their unquenchable thirst for human blood with nocturnal killings of unsuspecting neighbors and relatives. Despite the heroic efforts of her fiancé, Robert Paige, Katherine falls under the spell of the evil Count in SON OF DRACULA, director Robert Siodmak’s excursion into the horror genre. 81 min. HOUSE OF DRACULA (1945) HOUSE OF DRACULA is one of the greatest feasts for monster-lovers ever created! They’re all here – The Wolf Man, Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, angry villagers, even a hunchback assistant! And they all have momentous plans of their own in this entertaining frightmare treat. 67 min.
