Ever watched old horror movies? Well I have a certain fetish for them, especially this kind of horror. Vampires, creatures of the night as I like to see them (not as some goth beats at rave parties where Blade slashes them with his uber cool katana -_-'). Elegant and morbid they walk among the mist scaring the shit out of everyone. There's something romantic in these movies. The black and white contrast and the charisma of actors who try too hard to emit certain emotions so that the audience gets shocked is just brilliant. It's something todays movies can never show and even if they did they would be a parody to something.

Sir Karell Borotyn (Holmes Herbert) is found murdered in his own house, with two tiny pinpoint wounds on his neck. The attending doctor Dr. Doskil (Donald Meek) and Sir Karell's friend Baron Otto (Jean Hersholt) are convinced that responsible for the murder is a vampire, specifically Count Mora (Béla Lugosi) and his daughter Luna (Carroll Borland), while the Prague police inspector (Lionel Atwill) refuses to believe. Now his daughter Irena (Elizabeth Allan) is the count’s next target. Professor Zelen (Lionel Barrymore), an expert on vampires and the occult, is sent in to prevent her death. At the same time, secrets are revealed surrounding the circumstances of Sir Karell’s death.

  2. Haha I was totally surprised as well. I never thought they would do something like that and it made me love this movie even more. I like when movies are deceptive it kinda makes you suspicious of everything. :D
