HORROR MOVIE SYNOPSIS

Dracula

An undead creature (Dracula played by Bela Lugosi) victimizes innocent young ladys (Lucy Weston played by Frances Dade and Mina Harker played by Helen Chandler) and turns them into vampires in the classic vampires movie Dracula.

HORROR TRIVIA

- Rubber cement was used to create the spider webs in the original Dracula movie. It was shot out of a rotary gun to get it so thin and web like.

- Bette Davis was considered for the role of Mina Harker (eventually played by Helen Chandler), but Carl Laemmle Jr. (founder of Universal Pictures) didn't want her for the part. Laemmle thought Davis was not sexy enough for the role.
