Spanish Dracula

Texas-based author and educator David Bowles joins Jim Towns for
a plunge into a true Universal horror one-off: the 1931 Spanish
language version of Dracula, which was filmed at night on the
same stages as the Browning/Lugosi version, and which stars an
entirely different cast including Carlos Villarilla as Conde
Dracula and Lupita Tovar as Eva [Mina].

This excellently produced version of the film matches its
English-language cousin in many ways, but at almost 30 minutes
longer it also offers a fascinating alternative version of the
film, including shots and sometimes entire scenes left unfilmed
or edited out in the better-known version... as well as a
less-inhibited telling of the classic vampire tale. So have a
seat, and escuchar to our latest episode!
