Yeah, they are fun movies. I've been looking for a dvd set of those Warner Bros Dracula's for ages. Didn't realise that there was one out. Dracula 1958 was a more serious piece compared to the later ones, I noticed that too. They became more and more camp as they went on. This is part of their charm for me though. Childhood favourites.
John Carpenter has good taste then. lol
