Hey all:)
I'm a big fan of classic horror movies, especially ones starring the Universal Studios monsters (Dracula, Mummy, Frankenstein, Wolfman) My favorite Dracula movie would have to be the one starring Bela Lugosi. Its amazing how when everyone thinks of Dracula they don't realize it but a picture of Bela Lugosi's version pops in their head. You think of him wearing the long cape, black suit, widows peak, black slicked back hair. Now as far as picking a favorite moment from that film thats a hard one. What always sticks in my head though is when you first see Dracula walking down the stairs, he talks about the creatures of the night and bids him welcome. I think of Dracula I think Bela Lugosi coming down the stairs and saying the exact lines heard in the movie hehe.
What is anyone elses favorite Dracula moment and movie?-Stephanie

I don't have a favorite horror film, but my favorite horror scene from a classic film is the re-birth of Frankenstein, "It's alive, it's alive!" Classic.

I remember watching those as a kid. That scene is probably one of the great classic shots.
But I really enjoy it when they have fun with Drac, he's just more fun when he's the hero - well sort of. I remember one spoof in the 70's where he bits a black gal and turns black at the end.

Funnily enough, I have yet to see the Bela Lugosi version of Dracula. I've seen plenty of other versions, but my favourite film version overall is the original - "Nosferatu", starring Max Schreck - it's really creepy and incredibly well done for the time.
My favourite moment from a Dracula film is a long monologue Christoper Lee delivers in Jesse Franco's "Count Dracula" when he's looking straight at the camera describing the military exploits of one of his ancestors (or was it himself?), finishing with the words "This was a Dracula indeed!" It's the nearest thing I've seen to a definitive portrayal of Dracula, I think.
