event Dracula

Bram Stoker’s gothic novel Dracula is so convoluted and raw that it’s defied more or less every filmic attempt to fit its eroticism and primal terror into a sensible narrative. The best version remains Tod Browning’s eerie 1931 take, which exploits the laxity of the early sound-era production code to imply a lot about the sexual pull of vampirism. It also helps that Browning cast Bela Lugosi as his embodiment of leeching evil. Lugosi’s performance is perfectly creepy and oily.
