I'll leave the newer movies for others. 1990 works as a cutoff for my list. I'm steering clear of non- Dracula sequels, for the most part, but I can't leave out Bride of Frankenstien or The Omen sequels, for example. As for the original Dracula, I've never cared for it. I enjoy Lugosi's performance, but it was based on the play, not the book, and the other actors in the movie did nothing for me. I prefer Nosferatu and Dracula's Daughter.
