My dad brough home a Dracula movie when I was about 8 and there’s only one scene I watched before I fled. It’d be neat to see it again and see if it’s actually scary from the perspective of age.
Unforutnately I have nothing to go on but that one scene and that it’s in colour and made before 1991 because that’s around when I saw it.
The scene is Dracula’s being transported to London or wherever on a sailing ship. There’s a massive storm and they’re trying to throw excess cargo overboard. While attempting to throw D’s coffin over a white hand smashes through the lid and very graphically claws out one of the sailors throats. I think they do succeed in getting it over though, but it’s really hazy after that one throat ripping bit, and I didn’t watch the rest.
The movie also has an excellent score. I have it on LP.
It’s my favorite Dracula movie too. Might not be “accurate” (Dracula shouldn’t be so handsome), and it’s so lush, that shouldn’t be either, it should be bleak and cold and depressing.
