    • Trivia
      In 2007, this movie was selected for preservation by the BFI, but it wasn't until 2011 that an extended print, including a longer version of the disintegration sequence, was discovered at the National Film center in Tokyo.
    • Goofs
      The coffin Dracula uses in the undertaker's cellar has a large cross on the lid. Dracula could not touch that lid to get into the coffin.
    • Quotes

      Doctor Van Helsing: What are you afraid of?

      Landlord: I don't understand you.

      Doctor Van Helsing: Why all these garlic flowers? And over the window? And up here? They're not for decoration, are they?

    • Alternate versions
      The film was cut for its original cinema release by the BBFC in 1958 to remove shots of blood during Lucy's staking and to reduce the final disintegration of Dracula. For later UK video and DVD releases the U.S print (titled "Horror Of Dracula") was used as this restored the staking scene in full, although the climactic disintegration remained edited (and may no longer survive). In May 2007 a new BFI 'restored' print was premiered in Cannes which includes the staking and restores the original title of "Dracula" to the opening titles.

    A must-see Classic!
    Christopher Lee is spectacular as Dracula, Possibly the best portrayal of the character to date. The film has aged well all things considered, it's not the scariest movie out there of course but it doesn't need to be. A truly enjoyable watch with a great cast.
