fair point about the book. in all fairness its been a few years since i last read it. i think i may have been corrupted by some of the films.
but come on now,lugosi better than shreck???? don't get me wrong, i love dracula 1931,it was the start of an era (albeit before my time,ahem). but lugosi was nearly as wooden as his coffin. the set was superb,probably the best there has ever been,but the acting did have its drawbacks, although dwight frye is excellent.
but shreck get's everything right.the scene where he is stalking down the corridor of his castle,the classic moment of his shadow creeping up the stairs. and the way he rises from his coffin has never been bettered.
either way,they are both classics and i'm going to crack open a few beers and watch them back to back.
cheers!!
