Fun Fact: Despite Bela Lugosi not appearing in the film, there are some existing photos of him and Gloria Holden on the set during production.
Dracula’s Daughter is probably the most underrated universal horror sequel and I really like it, but man, I love to see James Whales Dracula sequel, that would’ve been something really special
100% how I feel.
Oh shut up! Proteinous comment.
Nah
Sir Basil: "Surely, you can't expect to face an English jury with such a defense."
Von Helsing: "It's my only one. And don't call me Shirley."
Yep. haha
I have seen the film, and the Von Helsing character does not say 'And don't call me Shirley.' You are not remembering the dialogue correctly.
@@michaelerickson985 Sure did. We all heard it. Go watch it again
Dracula's Daughter has a lot in common with the Son of Kong. Both were rushed out to cash in on the popularity of the original. And both bring back a supporting character from the original (Denham and Van Helsing) who is in serious legal trouble due to his actions in the previous film. And both Kong's son snd Drac's daughter are portrayed more sympathetically than their dad.
Oh shut up!
I got this film, among others, on a "black & white collection" on a DVD from a flee-market style place, and Dracula's Daughter was my favorite in the whole collection.
It's interesting to realize that the rights to Stoker's work still had to be bought back then. Nowadays Dracula is in the public domain, so anybody can freely use him. It's very convenient to have a character that's instantly recognizable and that you don't have to pay for.
Countess Maria zaleska is one of my favorite universal monsters.
Really hoping to see all the Universal sequels covered! Juniversal Horror for years to come woohoo
Appreciate the extra fun fact near the ending, doc! Never realized it was the last of the original cycle. This is another reason you’re the doctor!
I seen that movie poster with Buck Jones's name on it he was later killed in the fire at the Coconut Grove in Boston Massachusetts in 1942.
Can't wait to see your review of Son of Dracula.
So in summary: If you think you've got it bad, try having Dracula for your dad.
I am shocked if anyone reading this comment gets that reference.
Castlevania?
First Appearance of Dracula's Daughter Lilith in Marvel Chillers #1 where's my Comic lovers at ! Loving these Universal reviews Doc !!
Great review. Now I'm interested in seeing the movie. I never heard of the movie until now. I'm learning so much about universal horror movies. I'm looking forward to your next one.
There's actually an amazing Blu-ray box set that has them all
@@joshburns4863 cool.
Picture quality and old filming techniques of these movies themselves make them super scary
I remember watching and thought Sandor was the first gay best friend portrayed on screen. The film was great despite being a little slow at times.
I wonder if they used blood to establish paternity🤔
"When I'm not _Bram_ ing until I _Stoker_ "
*_Extremely loud incorrect buzzer_*
OLD school horror. Thanks Doc.
Love your reviews you should do review of Son Of Dracula 1943 next
"...and his son, Junior..." (1:03-1:05) 😆
I'd never even heard of this one! :O
And also going to straight Karen mode in public. We can't forget about that.
Sandor was the Ghoulash of the Universal Monsters.
The goulash?
Unpopular opinion but i liked the movie honestly, i have a different take on it. But i love your account keep up the good work!
15:16 Vampires, HA-HA-HA!
Loving these classic horror reviews Doc!
What did you think of renfield doc? And are you excited for the last voyage of the Demeter?
3:46 other examples of a fictional character’s iconic traits not originating from the source material include Superman’s ability to fly and Sonic the Hedgehog’s love for chili dogs
Fascinating analysis!
Let's not forget it was unofficially remade as NADJA.
Another good movie.
And I thought Dracula's daughter was Mavis, voiced by Selena Gomez. Or Seras to her sugar daddy Alucard.
I've seen the film, but I hadn't run across that interpretation of it before.
I rented this movie & fell in love with it so I bought it attached with it was Son of Dracula starring Lon Chaney Jr.
Dracula's Daughter is the nickname for my sister 😅
Good video Doctor Wolfula never heard of this one
Glad you covered this it’s one of my favorites🙌
To be honest the often mentioned notion that Dracula's Daughter features a clear homosexual/lesbian aspect is rather flimsy, questionable and dubious at best. Even though it is clear that the film depicts the Countess preying upon a female to satisfy her vampiric cravings for blood there is very little to suggest any kind of sexual attraction much less "romantic" desire where as by contrast the suggested romantic tension between the Countess and the male lead is overt even if left ultimately unfulfilled.
Queer vampires isn't really a new concept when it originally was from the vampire book Carmilla. Which technically is older than Dracula.
You know you're getting old when Twilight jokes are now considered retro
The Countess didn't hunt female victims exclusively, the gentleman she met on the street was killed. And yes, I disagree about Ms.Holden's performance not being compelling. Her otherworldly aloofness and the way she seems to struggle at restraining her savage hunger is mesmerizing. I've loved this movie ever since the first time I saw it, years ago.❤
This is the closest thing to a film adaptation of "Carmilla."
Well, that & "Ruby Gillman" (though it only had a few elements of the book & the villain's theme is to manipulate the lead heroine under a false identity).
I thought we were getting one where her sexuality was more explicit but it's really a much different story about kidnappers who don't realize the girl they kidnapped is a vampire. We're gonna be wading through these elseworlds for a while before Universal gets a clue, so buckle up.
Also, don't say things you can't take back. You'll see what I mean...😏
Great stuff dude
Really well done. Had me loling.
Great video. Reminds me in a way of Universal sitting on the rights to The Hulk rather than let Marvel screw him up further in a stand-alone movie.
A lesbian vampire in 1936. I love it!!
I wanna see ND Stevenson remake this as a Dreamworks film
Dracula’s Guest actually includes a reference to Carmilla, the first lesbian vampire, so it would make sense Dracula’s Daughter includes a lesbian vampire.
This movie sounds kinda interesting.
There was a batman movie way back then?
love you doc
Maybe do a review of Cube
¿Rodney Dangerfield? ¿Marty Feldman? (3:42-3:43)
Your analysis is mistaken. In the argument Marya is a vampire going for blood, not a lesbian going for sex. Allegorically, it could be the later, but then, it wouldn't be flattering, since she wants to get rid of it, she abuses women, it is bad for her and fatal for other women. So it would be anti-LGBT propaganda in the allegory. You have to also remember that her first victim is male (something Bela didn't have as Dracula), and her final goal was a male consort (in betrayal of her male servant, who wanted it too). All of this forgetting that in the unapproved scripts her victims were male.
Most people miss a lot when reading allegories and subtext. They snip the bit they feel is proof of what they want and forget about the context.
Bela's Dracula did suck Renfield's blood though. He also tried to suck Van Helsing's.
Greetings Doc
I love your content, but since Abigail is a remake of Dracula's Daughter, I would have appreciated your signature format.
just watched Draculas Daughter again on TCM last week fun movie;)
So I guess Dracula's Daughter is the term that we use nowadays,woke. Soon conservatives will start burning their capes and plastic Halloween vampire teeth.
Dracula is A Father
Who wants to buy a Bela Lugosi wax dummy? I'm down to me last half dozen!
Why no fangs? When did Dracula get around to have a kid? I know these horror classics should be, classic, but I find them boring and unable to live up to their source material because of censorship.
Not as good as Dracula, but still a worthy sequel.
I liked this one quite a bit. I liked it better than a lot of the other sequels and probably every mummy movie
Gloria Holden is terrific and the movie is a classic
Ya got any dog horror movies?
Dracula Daughter is great. 😀👍🧛♂️
I just saw Dracula guest, the movie....
I'm still confused 🤔😕
RIP OJ
Now I'm kinda sad that del Toro didn't remake this movie. Yeah, Bubbline is awesome, but the hypothetical movie would have less copyright issues considering the concept of lesbian vampires PREDATES Dracula classic
🎉🎉🎉
Five Nights at Freddy’s coming October 27
DR Wulfulas gotten way to woke for me.
I love my Universal Horrors but this one is a snooze. 😴
Despite the polarizing nature of the film, I always felt that Dracula's Daughter should be added as one of the main Universal Horror Monsters, along the likes of Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, the Creature, etc. Not only is Dracula's Daughter an underappreciated movie, it would give the classic horror monster line up more female representation than just the Bride of Frankenstein. It would also give the lineup more possible LGBTQ representation as well.
Eyy
I honestly prefer this over Dracula. As legendary and import as Dracula is, it's a rather sloppy film in and of itself. As many have said, the second half becomes very dry and stagnant. Dracula's Daughter is more moody and provocative with more interesting characters and dynamics. The messy subtext just makes it all the more compelling, imo. So I disagree with the Doc's take here.
It’s incredible that she’s the first ever lesbian character ever made in movie history. Now that people think that they’re aren’t any diverse characters in movies. They should check out Dracula’s Daughter.
You see gay vampires all the time these days, ( picture of Robert Pattinson), just look at the twilight books. 🤣🤣🤣
Uh, Edward was straight
@@tophers3756 I think he was joking Robert Pattinson is gay, otherwise I think he would have shown a picture of the gay vampire he was talking about in the twilight books. Idk maybe I'm reading too much into it but I thought it was funny.
Dr. Garth is possibly the least appealing protagonist in a Universal Horror. Why the Countess falls for such a dour, uncharismatic plank is anyone’s guess.
This movie is..... overrated. Sorry.
I watch it for Edward Van Sloane, and the subtle hints at lesbianism. Again. Sorry. I just find that aspect intriguing for it's time
She should have embraced her vampirism and forced other people to celebrate it. LGBTQ+V
"let me bite your children, you bigot!"
Mygenes and dot and Co and dot and nz.
Kinky
Oh my God the new dracula movie is WOKE! they made it about a woman who's gay!
When did every movie become about politics and social issues??
No but seriously, I love that horror has always had a relationship with deeper themes
You know someone would really say that and miss that the film is about fixing lesbians.
