Overview:

This Collector’s Edition Double Disc DVD presents two unforgettable classics: Dracula (1931), featuring the chilling performance of Bela Lugosi as the enigmatic Count Dracula, and House of Dracula (1945), a thrilling ensemble monster movie. These timeless films not only define the horror genre but also continue to inspire modern adaptations, including Van Helsing.

• Dracula (1931): Bela Lugosi’s definitive portrayal of Count Dracula, directed by Tod Browning, brings Bram Stoker’s gothic novel to life. Set against the ominous backdrop of the Carpathian Mountains and Castle Dracula, the film captures a haunting tale of terror. Featuring an eerie atmosphere, restored visuals, and a new musical score by Philip Glass performed by the Kronos Quartet, this classic remains a masterpiece for all time.

• House of Dracula (1945): Universal’s monster mash-up stars John Carradine as Dracula alongside The Wolf Man and Frankenstein’s Monster. In this sequel, the Count seeks redemption and a cure for his vampirism, consulting Dr. Edelman in a chilling tale of betrayal, science, and supernatural horror.
