Comment
This is the version of the Dracula story that set the style for most of the following Count Dracula characters that are based on Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Dracula. His voice also set a style for the voice based on his stage version of the character. This set Bela Lugosi off on his film career. It also started Universal to make horror films of which this is really the first and its commercial success led to more.
