The Year of Halloween 
I love the look of these old films.
It is beautifully dreamy.
In my opinion the Spanish language Dracula is a better film than the Lugosi version, the acting is far less wooden and the chicas far sexier. It’s as if the cast and crew came on set watched the day’s rushes and said “we can do better than that!”
I’ve heard that, but haven’t been able to find a copy to watch. I wonder if it was ever transferred to digital.
Mine is onthe Universal Legacy collection which combined all the Universal Draculas, Frankensteins and Wolfman movies, I think they are now being reissued as BluRays. I have the collectable set with the Lugosi, Karloff and Chaney busts
How fabulous. 🙂
