Dracula is a 1931 American pre-Code supernatural horror film directed and co-produced by Tod Browning from a screenplay written by Garrett Fort and starring Bela Lugosi in the title role. It is based on the 1924 stage play Dracula by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston, which in turn is adapted from the 1897 novel Dracula by Bram Stoker. Lugosi portrays Count Dracula, a vampire who emigrates from Transylvania to England and preys upon the blood of living victims, including a young man's fiancée. Wording from Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dracula_(1931_English-language_film)   "Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make!" Seeing, I suppose, some expression in my face strange to him, he added, "Ah, sir, you dwellers in the city cannot enter into the feelings of the hunter." From Bram Stokers Dracula.  Lovely selection of Bela Lugosi images.  Have a fang-tastic weekend!!!!! 🦇🩸💋🦇🩸💋🦇🩸💋🦇🩸💋
