My favorite film Drac was Jack Palance, who wolfishly hunched his shoulders up & roared like a cougar.

And then there was Max Schreck in the Murnau film -- creepy creepy creepy.

How could I ever forget Schreck! Yes, sublime creepiness. And played beautifully by Willem Dafoe in Shadow Of The Vampire.

I'm glad no one mentioned Kiefer Sutherland in The Lost Boys.

Ever see the TV film Dracula: The Dark Prince? Not so much horror, but more about how Vlad the Impaler became so called Dracula.

And one more for a laugh: Warhol's Dracula (Blood for Dracula). LOL.
