Saturday Night Spook-o-rama

In the spoooooky premier of SNS we begin our tour through horror film history in 1931. 1931 was a turning point in the history of horror films, with the popularity of Dracula paving the way for dozens of other classics. For our first foray into the year that started it all we are discussing Dracula (dir. Tod Browning) and the Spanish-language version (dir. George Melford). The two movies were filmed using the same sets and same script, but one is definitely better. Also: S&M Drac, Bela Lugosi's eyes, and the excellence of Lupita Tovar. On the syllabus for next week: Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
