Despite what some critics or viewers thought/think, I'd say Bela Lugosi's iconic presence as DRACULA is safe and secure regardless. Second-class Carlos Villarias just ruins the Spanish Version for me. He's terrible in the film. And while I'm at it, the Spanish Version for all its impressive mood and ambiance is just as 'slow' as Browning's.

Quite right Joe. Lugosi will live on eternally in the hearts of "real" MONSTER KIDS as the definitive Count Dracula. Take that, Carlos Villarias and CHRISTOPHER LEE fans. smiley: wink
