John Carradine Is A Great Count Dracula In House Of Frankenstein


This writer considers John Carradine's portrayal of Count Dracula in House Of Frankenstein(1944)to be one of the best performances of the King Of The Vampires
of all time.Mr.Carradine is right up there with Bela Lugosi,Christopher Lee and
Duncan Regehr in The Monster Squad(1987).

Dear stimpy25,
I saw Dracula A.D.1972 ....however it was quite awhile ago when I did.
This writer recalls myself being rather disappointed in it because Peter Cushing took a backseat in this film and I just don't like the way the makers of that film put Dracula in the 20th century.I'm am enormous fan of Hammer's
gothic period films and my favorite Hammer Dracula films are Horror Of Dracula(1958) and Brides Of Dracula(1960) both star Peter Cushing and in Brides Of Dracula(1960)Dr.Van Helsing battles the evil Baron Meinster(David Peel)who gives an excellent performance.What did you think of Brides Of Dracula?
To Better Days,
BRAD
