The orchid genus Dracula, abbreviated as Drac in horticultural trade, consists of 118 species native to Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. The name Dracula literally means "little dragon", an allusion to the mythical Count Dracula, a lead character in numerous vampire novels and films. The name was applied to the orchid because of the blood-red color of several of the species, and the strange…

Among all the roles in the long and illustrious career of Christopher Lee, the most iconic, at least to those introduced to the actor in the twentieth century, was undoubtedly the title character of the 1958 British horror film *Dracula*. This Hammer production did not merely launch a popular film series; in many ways, it redefined the concept of the vampire in popular culture, moving the archetype away from the lan…More

Hello friends, welcome to my blog I thought Dracula (2014) was a film that portrayed the character as a man who is capable of doing anything for the love of his family and his people, even to the point of becoming a monster. I really liked that film and have seen it a couple of times. But I haven’t really watched the other Count Dracula movies closely. If we go back to 1992 and the one that the public considers the…More

![Dracula.1931.1080p.BluRay.x264-[YTS.AM]-0005.png]( It's coming up on Halloween and I think this might be the first October where I was just completely oblivious to which month it actually was and how fast the Halloween holiday was coming up. I used to spend as much of the October month watching various horror and thriller films and television shows to get into that atmosphere of Halloween, having been someone that…More
Image This is the first in a series of horror films produced by the iconic Hammer Productions (UK), based on Bram Stoker's novel. Directed by Terence Fisher, the film stars Christopher Lee (as Count Dracula) and Peter Cushing (as Dr. Van Helsing). It should be noted that the US title has changed slightly compared to the UK.

History of cinema is full of films that became important for being first at something while not being particularly good. *The Jazz Singer*, the very first sound film, provides a good example as a film not likely to be remembered as memorable musical drama. Four years later, in 1931, horror genre had its first sound film in form of *Dracula*, Tod Browning’s adaptation of popular novel by Bram Stoker which has set the…More

In 1973, in Venezuela, from Monday to Friday at 10:30 p.m., on Channel 2 (Radio Caracas Television), there was a program called Mr. Cinema, whose moderator was Luis Guillermo González. His phrase was "Look for the armchair or sofa and enjoy this, your Mr. Cinema". This television program was broadcasted until the mid 80's, and its schedule began to change, sometimes at 11 PM, sometimes at 12 PM. The subject matter o…More
*"In 1897 Transylvania, the blood-drinking Count draws his plans against Victorian London."* - IMDB I started watching the new series Dracula on Netflix. It is a 3 episode mini series giving a new perspective on the story of Dracula. Each episode is 1.5 hours long and does a good job of mixing up the Dracula fantasy. The series stars Claes Bang as Dracula and Dolly Wells as the main supporting character. Although I…More
Truth be told, I don't remember having watched a serious movie about Dracula, so for me it is hard to compare this series with past productions. The only thing I remember watching that is about Dracula is the Netflix animated series Castlevania. So I don't have any references when it comes to comparing this new Dracula with those from the past. This Dracula is highly intelligent as most ancient vampires usually are,…More
So, I just finished watching this mini series on Netflix and thought to share my thoughts. First, as the name suggests, its yet another flick based on Count Dracula. But is it any good? Well... I found it quite enjoyable to watch. It's three episodes, 90 minutes each and if I had the time I would have probably watched them in one go. I also liked the twist on the third episode, which I guess was somewhat original bu…More
I'm a sucker for a good monster movie or TV series, get it? See what I did there? Vampire jokes, gosh tough crowd. Well, it seems we've finally moved past how Twilight and teen drama shows bastardised the concept of Vampires, and we're getting back to the good old source material that many of us know and love. Dracula is a television series developed by Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat, based on the novel of the same n…More
Even though I think i am with a majority of people when I say that I am kind of sick of the rehashing of old stories over and over again I was excited when I saw that *Dracula* as a new series release on Netflix. The show appeared to have a high level of money pumped into it and had a fantastic ambiance right from the start. src It is clearly based on Bram Stokers's recounting of the story as you can almost imagine…More

*Photo courtesy of moviemorlocks.com* Over the past couple of days, I’ve watched two famous Dracula productions I’d never seen before. One was Count Dracula (1977), a two-and-a-half hour British television movie that some Drac fans consider the most accurate and best onscreen translation of the book. (Yes, even more than the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola version, which introduced a reincarnation/romantic storyline that…More
