Friday One Sheet: BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA (1992) Re-Release
If you are old enough to remember the summer 1992, there was the coordinated series of 'viral' (although that would not have been the word used then) marketing posters and graffiti of a shadowy 3 headed bust, sometimes by itself,...
Blu-ray Review: Langella Hypnotizes in DRACULA 1979
I don't know the numbers, but Bram Stoker's book Dracula has been adapted quite a bit into theatrical productions, TV series, and movies. The property is up there with Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Predjudice, and The Three Musketeers as one of the most popular...
Blu-ray Review: SCARS OF DRACULA Spooks and Shocks

Blu-ray Review: DRACULA: PRINCE OF DARKNESS Times Two
Scream Factory is so much fun. They're resurrecting amazing classics and underseen favorites on Blu-ray for those who've seen them and love them, but also to new generations of weirdo film fans that have yet to discover such films. One...

Review: DRACULA UNTOLD Reimagines A Reluctant Vampire Action Hero
Surprisingly effective, the latest iteration of the Dracula legacy seeks to rebuild vampire-movie mythology by going back to the beginning. First published in 1897, Bram Stoker's novel inspired F.W. Murnau's unofficial adaptation Nosferatu in 1922, which then sparked a series...

TV Beat: DRACULA Debuts, A Bloodthirsty Vampire in Victorian-Era London

Trailer Alert: Check The New Red Band Trailer For Argento's DRACULA 3D!
"...In All Its Awfulness", I easily could have added. Because oh boy... does this look bad in places. Basically this trailer takes the fun bits of the old industry screener we saw years ago, it adds a few more fun...
Review: Dario Argento's DRACULA 3D Is Predictably Bad, Until...
Early warning: This review will eventually spoil what was -- for me -- the only great minute of Dario Argento's Dracula 3D. It is not a plot spoiler per say, and it was also spoiled by the sales reel that...

When a sales trailer for Dario Argento's Dracula leaked out a while back there were some poised to forgive it its abundant flaws because it was, after all, still in progress. But polishing a turd makes it no less a...
UK Blu-Ray Review: DRACULA, PRINCE OF DARKNESS
The blueprint for gothic horror that iconic British production house Hammer Films established in its golden age has been mocked, spoofed and satirised many, many times over the decades since. It can be bizarre, watching these movies in retrospect, and...
Will The Promo For Dario Argento's DRACULA Make You Laugh Or Cry?
Oh, Dario, things haven't gone so well for you lately, have they? Perhaps it's time to consider, you know ... stopping.A one-time titan of international genre film, Dario Argento has been working on a 3D version of the Dracula story...
First Images From Dario Argento's DRACULA 3D
I shall be blunt. I have very little hope that Dario Argento's upcoming Dracula 3D will be anything other than a train wreck. His Giallo was atrocious and Mother Of Tears - far from a good film - is the...
