What I love about Lugosi’s performance in the original 1931 film was that his speech patterns and physical mannerisms come off as an imitation of life, but just askew enough to detect that he’s just a dead thing pretending to be alive. When Lugosi first stepped on American soil, it was here in New Orleans, adding to a city rich in vampire lore thanks to the novels of Anne Rice, Poppy Z. Brite and others.
Music in horror films can be so effective, but sometimes, with these classic monster movies, the fact that they weren't scored can make them all the more atmospheric!

I like it when Dracula got scared of the holy cross.
Masterpiece
