Hello everyone. You can't get more "classic horror" than Dracula, maybe that's why there have been so many spin-offs. Stoker's book remains one of the most atmospheric and creepy I have read to this day and if you haven't yet read it, shame on you! Get ye hence and buy a copy.
Discussing the many actors who have played the Count is a bit like comparing all the actors who have played Bond - it's all a matter of taste (pun intended).
Lugosi was excellent, in a class of his own; his real-life eccentricity couldn't fail to shine through his performance.
I'm afraid Palance made me giggle. As did the actor who played him in Count Yorga (somebody refresh my mem'ry please).
Lee, to me, is the definitive Dracula, whether he likes to be reminded of the role or not. I have been fortunate enough to meet him several times when I was on the committee of the Dracula Society many years ago. Some might be interested (or not) to know his fave topic of conversation is - not movies, but GOLF.
