Speaking of the Langela Dracula- Back in my wee days when I was acting in children's theatre, the first three plays I was ever in were directed by a fellow named Bob Hall. He later moved to New York and directed the first stage version of the Dracula adaptation that later became the Langela movie. He then went on to draw for Marvel comics...
I now await Chrono's comments when she finally watches a Chris Lee Dracula movie...

Wow, NE! That's actually really neat about the play.

Oh no - Do you think? I'm guessing that my parents never really liked Hammer movies (else they would have watched them with me along with other classics, like the Universal Fare)... And I don't think that Mark cares for Hammer either..

Well that makes me all the more interested in seeing it! Let me see if it's streaming somewhere this weekend...

LOL!!
Ok. So is it Horror of Dracula that I should be starting with? Looks like I can digitally rent it from a few different sources. I have Only Lovers Left Alive, Interview with The Vampire, and The Raid II all home from Netflix right now to get me through the weekend, so I'll see where I can fit it in (Lovers viewing will be tonight... Ooo, maybe I can watch Interview tomorrow while I'm "working" and The Raid II might be tomorrow night depending on my company...)
SO
Goal is to check it out Saturday or Sunday.
