The greatest movie vampire of all time renews his reign of terror in this atmospheric chiller from the 1940's. Lon Chaney, Jr. known for his portrayals of the Wolf Man and Frankenstein's monster, dons a black cape as Count Alucard (that's Dracula spelled backwards), the bloodthirsty son of the famous Transylvanian vampire. When Katherine (Louise Allbritton), a beautiful Southern girl obsessed with thoughts of eternal life, invites the Count to come to her mansion in the U.S., she unleashes a Pandora's box of horror on unsuspecting relatives and neighbors. Despite the heroic efforts of Robert Paige, her fiancé, Katherine becomes a disciple of the evil Count. Together they both set out to satisfy their unquenchable thirst for human blood with nocturnal killings in director Robert Siodmak's excursion into the horror genre.
