Alias the Scarecrow	Best Dracula version..	Lead	[-]
Jan 12 12 4:30 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	There's been so many productions of Bram Stoker's immortal vampire over the last century..some are close to the source material, others stray far from the target and go their own way. Which of these versions do you feel best serves the Count. It doesnt have to be letter perfect, just a damn good approximation of what you feel Bram Stoker had envisioned for the character. Best Dracula version? (Result) 1)Nosferatu: A Symphony Of Horrors(1922) 2)Dracula(1931) 3Horror Of Dracula(1958) 4)Count Dracula(1970) 5)Dan Curtis' Dracula(1974) 6)Blood For Dracula(1974) 7)Dracula(1979) 8)Nosferatu, the Vampyre(1979) 9)Bram Stoker's Dracula(1992) 10)Other...place your own nomination.

Feb 22 12 12:43 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm going with the Louis Jordan version, which isn't on the list. A Seems like this poll has been rigged, I want all the chads counted. Jack Palance is actually pretty scary as the count. What is the 1970 Count Dracula, and has anyone seen it since 1970? Tim

It's not uninteresting, but it's also not good. And, yes, lotsa folk have seen it since '70.

Feb 10 13 1:35 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The '22 Nosferatu--best "Dracula" film, best Dracula incarnation. Best Renfield--'31 version. Best Van Helsing--perhaps Peter Cushing, Horror of D. I don't think there has been a wholly satisfactory English-language version, though Coppola's comes closest perhaps.... "We love you, Dracula!"
