Yesterday was Valentine's Day. Okay, so what?
Well, it was 80 years ago yesterday that Universal Pictures' Dracula starring Bela Lugosi, Helen Chandler, David Manners, Dwight Frye and Edward Van Sloan, opened in theaters around the country.
Although it may be "slow and creaky" (according to some, but aren't we all?) in its staging, the movie still holds up thanks to the acting, particularly by Lugosi and Frye. For better or worse, Dracula made Bela Lugosi a star.
I still enjoy watching it.

My favorite vampire movie. I never tire of watching it. Lugosi's performance is the greatest portrayal of Dracula and one of the finest film performances of all time.
