Dracula Movies

This weeks top ten I've decided to do Dracula movies.

The movie that started them all with Bela Lugosi. 



My favorite has Frank Langela playing Dracula, the best looking of all the vampires.



Bram Stoker's Dracula has the best cast and Winona Rider running down stairs with breasts bouncing.

I grew up watching all the Hammer Films versions of Dracula with Christopher Lee. This one is Count Dracula.




Then there are the spoofs 

Once Bitten, an early Jim Carey in with a disco vampire.







Mel Brooks had to do his take with Dracula Dead and Loving it.






And lastly George Hamilton in Love at First Bite.

Love this! My hubs and I have art prints of some of these classic horror figures in our game room!

Wow, I had no idea there were so many different dracula movies.

My TTT.

Tanya @ Girl Plus Books said...

I remember seeing the one with Gary Oldman when it first came out but I remember very little about it.

Movie art prints are nice.

Lydia, there are hundreds of them.

Tanya, he was a different Dracula.

I must admit I'm not the biggest Dracula fan. He's overrated, but I do love Christopher Lee's version.

He and Peter Cushing were great together, Lois.

I can't remember the last time I watched a Dracula movie, but this post puts me in the mood.

I feel really lame admitting this, but I've actually never seen a Dracula movie. xD I have to say, though, I'm curious about Christopher Lee's version, so maybe I'll have to check that one out!

P M Prescott said...

Alicia, have fun.

P M Prescott said...

Sammie, Lee and Cushing made a number of Dracula movies. Take your pick

Jaybird said...

Cool list, I've only seen Once Bitten-super campy fun and Dracula, a little prolonged, but solid. May I humbly submit Fright Night? ;)

P M Prescott said...

Haven't seen that one. Have to check it out, Jaybird.

Berthold Gambrel said...

Ah, yes. I remember watching the original as a kid--the only one of the original Universal Horror movies that scared me. It's actually much better than the book, IMO.

P M Prescott said...

No one has been better than Legusi.

Lee's Dracula was awesome!

Yes he was a great Dracula, Lauren.
