Dracula. 1931.

After a estate agent arrives at the castle of Dracula and succumbs to his powers, they both travel to London for the Count to take a bride.

Apart from some of the scenes and production set, this is what true horror is, not for the Bram Stoker character but the acting of Bela Lugosi portraying the character, watched this film upteen times and still get the chills. Dwight Frye as Renfield is picture perfect for his role and almost steals the show with his acting as a raving lunatic. Edward Van Sloanis always a peasure to see him in any film but this one makes him more superior as Van Helsing and having hits wits pitted against Dracula.

Even in black and white it has that dark brooding Gothic atmosphere in Castle Dracula with it's dark, damp web filled areas and even in the cellar it has that cold chilled factor that makes it look eerie.
