This is a 1931 film adaptation of the 1897 novel of Dracula by Irish author Bram Stoker.Dracula is one of the earliest classic American horror films, an acclaimed masterpiece directed by Tod Browning. This version of the film is still regarded by many as the best film adaptation of the orginal book. A motion picture for people who love cinema the opening scenes set in Dracula’s castle are magnificient. Dr Eric Sweeneys simultaneous masterful performance of the film score on organ uses melodic and dissonant themes to heighten the macabre atmosphere without upstaging the film, itself. Experience the savory melodrama, absorbing spectacle and horror that so startled and amazed audiences nearly eighty years ago. This screening of Dracula as with Last years Phantom of the Opera should be a night to remember.
Note: This is an extraodinary screening and live musical performance. Tickets €10.

ReplyDeleteof the classic black & white 1931 dracula movies on dvd
i feel thats the way vampire movies should be done etiter
in black&white or color but brang back the classic look
to vampire movies with castles and grave yards and dracula
sleeping in his coffin not living in a condo like the college age
vampires in twilight.
will there be a remake of brams stokers draula in black& white
ReplyDeletein 2011? the reson im asking is black& white vampire movies
made them look spooky it seemed like you where in a old castle
or haunted house or some dark grave yard that was shot in black
and white. oh i dont mind the use of color in todays horror movies
it adds a newness to a horror movie like in the horror of dracula
that was shot at the hammer studios in england from1958/69
when actors christopher lee & john crradine& vincet price all
played dracula in the 60s&70s but actor bela lugosi as dracula
in 1931 would of been 90 years old this year he to us fans
the 1931 dracula with bela luosi will always be king of the vampires for us fans of classice horror movies.
