Absolutely true...another one that is pretty racy is MASK OF FU MANCHU...very violent, racist and quite sexy for the time.
THE MUMMY (1932). Although this is almost a remake of DRACULA in parts and the magnificent make up should have been used more than it was, this is a classic which has some very memorable parts which help the languid pace throughout. LOVE the close up on Boris's face after Edward Van Sloan tells him "If I could get my hands on You..."...what a poster that would make. And also cool how White Zombie used a sampler from this on LA SEXORCISTO. ****
