I mean yeah. Dracula's evil. But I mean I sort of feel sorry for him. I mean he really loves Mina. And how can something that's pure evil know love. He's mean, and kills, and in 1931 was seen as the devil. But he has a heart. Regardless of what others think.
@g4ngsta12345 I think he knew that running would be futile, Dracula will find him and kill him one way or another, he's far more powerful. So he groveled in vain hope The Count will feel sympathy and spare him.
will i like twilight's movies but i love old-school movie , live and clothes!!!!!!!!!!! i hate the end... in every movie the bad guy have to die but that's not Co0L!
I don't care if Twilight fans give me a thumbs down, Twilight sucks. It does not suck blood, it sucks goat penis. No one from Twilight will ever be Bela Lugosi.
@GuardianBelkov I thought Twilight was funny until Charles Cullen started smoking goat sausage and little goth kids decided that he was a role model. Now there is a whole army of "Twilight Goat Blowers" (the unofficial name for them is "fans") packing on eye shadow and trying to get as un-tan as possible by being shut-ins.
@Escatrax Blood and gore wasn't allowed at all back then, so everything was left to imagination. the count's horrifyingly painful death with a stake is heard and not seen, and the fact that some people knew Van Helsing was actually staying behind to cut Dracula's head off (to kill him for good) got stuck in their minds. There didn't need to be anything seriously nasty to get people scared back then.
Why is there always someone that has to insult someone else that is just trying to learn something new? atleast I am curious and I want to know more about everything and I'm not afraid to make a mistake. so please stop pretending that you're cool, because you're not.
did u take this from the vhs version because I had always heard that on the dvd they took the screams from Reinfield out when Dracula was choking him or Dracula's moan when he dies.
thank you so much for uploading this, i enjoyed it. i think the fact there is no music in this film really lets you feel the emotions and expressions on the incredible actors faces. amazing film, thank you again.
One of the greatest tragedies... The tragedy being that Dracula always dies at the end. Yes this version is amazing, and thanks for uploading. But I don't think it invalidates vampire fiction since then. Anne Rice's oeuvre and books like 'Lost Souls' can not be discounted.
@hellstrike1000 Hellsing's Alucard, is supposed to be the same Dracula, but there are a few points in Hellsing that deviate from Dracula the book/movie, one of them being Dracula being killed, but essentially Hellsing is just a continuation that takes place long after said events.

This is the true meaning of Vampires, not Twilight crap! For godsake, Vampires kill and use humans not fall in love with them! Thank you @loserfest for uploading this, I really enjoyed watching something classic and truly entertaining =]
See, this is the proper way to kill a vampire. Don't try to fight him. Wait till he's asleep and drive a stake through his heart. The Belmont clan could learn a lot from Van Helsing and save themselves a lot of effort.
@Pilaf1984 Very true, the old ways are the best like they say, although in the original Bram Stoker novel Dracula is killed by a combination of a Bowie knife through the heart and a Kukri knife through the throat. Though Dracula's first victim Lucy and his three undead Transylvanian wives were all killed by the traditional stake through the heart.
Would it have killed you to have uploaded THE END ? It's bad enough that most people do not bother to show the credits but to not even show THE END was just rude. Yes, it said part 8 of 8 but for someone who had never seen this film it would leave them wondering if it were even over.
By the way, Coppola's is still the best in my opinion. Not one film version of Dracula is faithful to the book but he tried harder to be than anyone else.
this is the good stuff not the retarded twighlight ITS NOT EVEN VAMPIRES NOR WEREWOLVES!!!! only the originals are good and monster squad and some remakes.
@thebackgroundartiste I didn't think so... I guess someone thought they were scary looking! And they are...at 70mph on a dark highway...like hitting a bowling ball! PMSL!
Why do people keep talking about Twilight? Do they honestly think they're hardcore because they watched this movie? LOL
Anyway, it's a so-so movie, but not in my top 30 horror movies for sure. It's a bit disappointing actually. Max Shreck set the standarts for Dracula too high for Bela Lugosi, and this adaptation doesn't help him. It's poorly written at some parts. You better watch Frankestein or the Mummy, far superior and Boris Karloff is much more satisfying. I sill like Bela though.
Despite the liberties Coppola took, I think his version is the most faithful to the original. Or at least more faithful then the classic versions like this one and the one with Lee.
No movie is ever "better than the book." The book is always richer, but a well-made movie, even one this old, can be an effective "shorthand" of the book. I like Richard Adams' "Watership Down," for instance. I also like the film. The film leaves out a lot of the book. It is not as rich. It does have some great watercolor backgrounds and good characters and voicings. It has been a long time since I read Dracula, but the book is richer. This does not detract from this classic movie.
Dracula! NO! >:'C Was anyone else watching this for the first time and hopeing beyond hope they wouldn't stake Dracula? I was! I say the fans resurrect him now, and Renfield, so we can have more horror classics.
I'm amazed to not see a Force choke reference anywhere. I mean, look at 0:15 ! There's obviously not enough geeks watching this movie. XD
But I really think Dracula should have just killed them all of, and Renfield could have been his servant for life (and life after death). Poor villians - they're always the ones to die. I miss Renfield and Dracula already!
Ending didn't bother me to much I just had to rewatch that part and then I figured Helsing was going to stake Renfield to save his soul but if Dracula is already dead then isn't Renfield's soul saved as a result? or does it depend on whether or not he killed?
@TheOnlySonicFan There's no such thing as a "soul" to be saved. Dead is dead. And even if you take all the stake-driving seriously, the Count just keeps showing up again in movie after movie. So it's obviously not very effective at neutralizing vampires. Why should it be any more effective at saving nonexistent "souls"?
Renfield was an amazingly complex character. I forgot how interesting he was. He was insane, warped by being an ordinary guy exposed to evil, and was filled with regret with lots of terrible crimes on his conscience. He was redeemable, unlike someone totally evil like Dracula.
This film is... Simply amazing. A true masterpiece and one of the greatest I've ever seen in my life. Which makes it all the more tragic. If Lugosi were alive today, he'd probably go nuts over what vampires have turned into. Fuck you Stephanie Meyer, fuck you Jacob and Edward, fuck you Twilight series. I really hate it when Hollywood tries to milk the hell out of absolute trash >:/ Anyway, like I said, a true classic horror film. I love it.
@xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx : "If Lugosi were alive today, he'd probably go nuts over what vampires have turned into."
What makes you think he's not alive today? Or at least... Undead today. At any rate, I think that his reaction to the younger generation of vampires would not be so different from how we mortals react to today's teenyboppers, vampiric or not.
So basically what you're saying is his point of view on today's vampire ideals would be symetrical to our views on idiotic teenagers?
By the way, I'm a teenager and I get pissed off sometimes at how dumb some of my friends act. I hate seeing people all around me go nuts over Justin Beiber or Miley Cyrus. At least now I'm in High School I don't see it as much.
@xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx Not exactly. I'm saying that to some extent our tastes, especially in art, are fixed by the time we're 18 or so. I think it's probably easier for young folk to embrace art from a bygone age than it is for a 47 yr old like me to embrace something like Twilight. (I don't watch TV, so I've never seen it.) Though I do think Anne Rice did an excellent job with Vamps in her novels. Enjoy the mental plasticity you have, and try to exercise it as time goes on.
Believe me, I've tried to open my mind to what people are interested in now. I have no interest in Twilight, for one, and I have legitimate reasons for it.
I'm generally different from most people I know. I LIVE off of Nostalgia. For example: I don't usually see movies in theatres these days because I personally think everything's been beaten to death. There's no originality, but at least when I see the chliches in older films, they're entertaining.
@xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx You remind me of me. When I was a 17 yr old newspaper-boy finishing up high school, people thought I was kinda weird for preferring Big Band and slightly later artists like Percy Faith and Mancini, to the music that was popular in the 70s and 80s. I eventually moved on to techno and trance. And Upbeat Smooth Jazz is probably my current favorite. But I still love nostalgia so much that I have to guard against getting sucked into it when listening to, e.g., Mantovanni.
@anton1990 I know! And it pisses me off even more that this Twilight series still isn't over. It's pretty much the exact opposite of 1931's Dracula. The main characters in Twilight aren't in any way badass, they can't act for shit, and there are no scares. No tension, just a shitload of drama that works in THIS movie but not in Twilight. Jesus man, this movie's a masterpiece and even if I wanted to, I couldn't ever say anything bad about it. Twilight on the other hand, well... Grab the barfbags.
@xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx the good thing about life is that you're free to express things in your own way. Whoever created this film expressed vampires in their own way, and as time goes on it gets expanded by other people in their own way.
@xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx I so ,so agree with you.Hollywood has done the Vampire thing to death.All they have are special effects.And aint it amazing how all the Vampire killers are young and so good looking(and yes i am being sarcastic).If were still around in a 100 years.Lugosi will still be spoken of and revered as the best of them all.And these actors playing these shitty remakes today wont be remembered 80 years later.Maybe 80 days.I doubt it will be that long.Bela is Dracula.
Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't notice any music in this film whatsoever. All the tension was built by great actors, simple dialogue and wonderful lighting. Thank you very much for this upload.
@lostmyshoes80 yeah. except there was no tension. If you want to the story of dracula, read the goddamn book. this isn't even the same ending as the book. In fact. many of the main characters are completely different, or just don't exist at all. Seriously. Read the book it makes this look like trash.
@lostmyshoes80 actually it does, but so very little, this is right out of the silent era, right in the beginning of the sound era, like the odd point of being a tween, not a teen, but not a child.
The ending to the Spanish version flowed a lot better than this version, which ends kind of abruptly. (The reason van Helsing had to stay behind was to stake Renfield and save his soul. I guess maybe the American censors thought that might be a little too graphic an idea to contemplate. They left out all mention of the staking of Lucy as well.)
I first watched this movie on TV when I was 13. I was alone in the house and was looking forward to being frightened out of my wits. I SO wasn't! The only vaguely frightening aspect is Renfield who is by far the best actor. Lugosi and the rest are so wooden and some of those 'English 'accents are excruciating especially Martin. Plainly Hollywood in 1931 had a lot to learn as far as the horror genre was concerned. Mind you the rats were good!
Awesome movie. Personally, I like the Gary Oldman one better. I liked the way they narrated it through letters, like in the book. Also, all the violence and sexual deviance of the Oldman version really helped cement the evil of Dracula, at least in my mind.
That said, Lugosi was a very better Dracula than Oldman. Oldman was good, but Lugosi is perfect in the role.
dracula has such power, yet he dies cause of this old man... i would be so ashamed of myself to let somebody like him killing me... shame to the grave, shame after death shame!
is it just me, or does the way Dracula looks when he walks down towards Reinfield kinda look like Count Orlock's shadow when he went up the stairs in Nosferatu. O_o
@ImATumor5 Didn't mean it like that, Just meant like, the ending was a little anticlimactic, I mean, they showed the wolf man and Invisible Man dying on screen, it wasnt violent, but it tied up loose ends.
@flbadcatowner Count Dracula wasn't dead - he was undead. By staking him, his human form was given the rest it had been deprived of for so long. Source: Bram Stoker's original novel.
This movie was great and everything, but I seriously can't believe people were so frightened by this. Nosferatu, now that's a scary monster. Bela's just too sexy to scare me.
Is the version with the uncensored Dracual scream? I remember reading the censors back in 1931 made the producers shorten his scream as Van Helsing drove the stake through his heart.
@DrClay999 I know. :/ I think originally it had Edward Van Sloan, the man who plays Van Helsing deliver a sort-of epilogue, a bit like what he did at the start of Frankenstein, hence why he was left down there.
I mean yeah. Dracula's evil. But I mean I sort of feel sorry for him. I mean he really loves Mina. And how can something that's pure evil know love. He's mean, and kills, and in 1931 was seen as the devil. But he has a heart. Regardless of what others think.

When I was a 17 yr old newspaper-boy finishing up high school, people thought I was kinda weird for preferring Big Band and slightly later artists like Percy Faith and Mancini, to the music that was popular in the 70s and 80s. I eventually moved on to techno and trance. And Upbeat Smooth Jazz is probably my current favorite. But I still love nostalgia so much that I have to guard against getting sucked into it when listening to, e.g., Mantovanni.

My friend, you couldn't be more right!
This movie has always been one of my very favorites, and I am a true Lugosi follower. Down with Twilight!

@anton1990 I know! And it pisses me off even more that this Twilight series still isn't over. It's pretty much the exact opposite of 1931's Dracula. The main characters in Twilight aren't in any way badass, they can't act for shit, and there are no scares. No tension, just a shitload of drama that works in THIS movie but not in Twilight. Jesus man, this movie's a masterpiece and even if I wanted to, I couldn't ever say anything bad about it. Twilight on the other hand, well... Grab the barfbags.

@xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx the good thing about life is that you're free to express things in your own way. Whoever created this film expressed vampires in their own way, and as time goes on it gets expanded by other people in their own way.

@xXMaJoRxSnIpEzXx I so ,so agree with you.Hollywood has done the Vampire thing to death.All they have are special effects.And aint it amazing how all the Vampire killers are young and so good looking(and yes i am being sarcastic).If were still around in a 100 years.Lugosi will still be spoken of and revered as the best of them all.And these actors playing these shitty remakes today wont be remembered 80 years later.Maybe 80 days.I doubt it will be that long.Bela is Dracula.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't notice any music in this film whatsoever. All the tension was built by great actors, simple dialogue and wonderful lighting. Thank you very much for this upload.
lostmyshoes80 1 year ago 82
@lostmyshoes80 yeah. except there was no tension. If you want to the story of dracula, read the goddamn book. this isn't even the same ending as the book. In fact. many of the main characters are completely different, or just don't exist at all. Seriously. Read the book it makes this look like trash.

@lostmyshoes80 actually it does, but so very little, this is right out of the silent era, right in the beginning of the sound era, like the odd point of being a tween, not a teen, but not a child.

The ending to the Spanish version flowed a lot better than this version, which ends kind of abruptly. (The reason van Helsing had to stay behind was to stake Renfield and save his soul. I guess maybe the American censors thought that might be a little too graphic an idea to contemplate. They left out all mention of the staking of Lucy as well.)

@theproplady Ah, that's the explanation. I always wondered why it ended so abruptly.

I first watched this movie on TV when I was 13. I was alone in the house and was looking forward to being frightened out of my wits. I SO wasn't! The only vaguely frightening aspect is Renfield who is by far the best actor. Lugosi and the rest are so wooden and some of those 'English 'accents are excruciating especially Martin. Plainly Hollywood in 1931 had a lot to learn as far as the horror genre was concerned. Mind you the rats were good!

Bela Lugosi made the character of Dracula his own. Nobody can take it from him.

Awesome movie. Personally, I like the Gary Oldman one better. I liked the way they narrated it through letters, like in the book. Also, all the violence and sexual deviance of the Oldman version really helped cement the evil of Dracula, at least in my mind.
That said, Lugosi was a very better Dracula than Oldman. Oldman was good, but Lugosi is perfect in the role.

is it just me, or does the way Dracula looks when he walks down towards Reinfield kinda look like Count Orlock's shadow when he went up the stairs in Nosferatu. O_o

@flbadcatowner Count Dracula wasn't dead - he was undead. By staking him, his human form was given the rest it had been deprived of for so long. Source: Bram Stoker's original novel.

Is the version with the uncensored Dracual scream? I remember reading the censors back in 1931 made the producers shorten his scream as Van Helsing drove the stake through his heart.

If you liked Bela Lugosi in this, check out White Zombie. It's another chilling performance from Drac and a pretty solid monster movie.
