...so beautiful...it is gentle, mysterious and somber at the same time.

Reflects the atmosphere of the book perfectly and merges in nicely with the film.

Lugosi made Dracula period. None have ever played the role with the elegant class of Bela Lugosi.

I never liked the original Dracula movie until I saw the version with the added music. To me, it enhances it and gives it the power of a silent film.

@Nemesis7293 Do you feel better about yourself for having a difference of opinion? I agree with you wholeheartedly, regarding music in film, but my comment was merely posted to explain my love for this film. If you want I can put my extnsive knowledge of filmmaking into play, and make you feel inferior. The point is, I am not a score aficionado, but you have no right to talk down to me for having a difference of opinion. You are knowledgeable, but you are arrogant. Grow up.

@Svanvit666 Phillip Glass wrote a repetitive, simple minded, pseudo-"score" for "Dracula". A "score" has SOME, even small, relation to what is occurring onscreen. What Glass wrote simply "plays" throughout. It has ZERO connection with the film....even to the point of playing, uninterrupted, THROUGH scene transitions. It is simply a generic piece of music rudely appended to a masterpiece.

@darthneji1992 Phillip Glass's repetitive, simple minded, piece of shit pseudo-"score" has NO relation to Todd Browning and Bela Lugosi's brilliant 1931 "Dracula" It was "overlayed" on the film simply as a marketing decision by Universal. Have you never noticed that this "score" has zero relation to anything happening onscreen? It even plays through scene transitions! No REAL score does that! Get a clue!!!

@yoda9252001 This blasphemous bullshit was added to the film in 1999. Were you a "little boy" in 1999?

[Nemesis7293]

@QueenOfTheKelpies I can only imagine that you mean "merges in nicely with the film" as "plays independently and repetitively on the soundtrack with absolutely zero relation to the action onscreen".

[Nemesis7293]

@ElektraKid83 It is all that. It would be nice if it had even some small relation to what is happening in the film, but I suppose actual relevance would be to pedestrian for Phillip Glass.
