Submitted for your consideration - here are a few more films I feel are worthy of a look:

Mark of the Vampire (1935) MGM's remake (with Bela Lugosi) of the now-lost London After Midnight.

Return of the Vampire (1943) Bela and his pet werewolf in wartime London (actually the Columbia Pictures backlot). Great fun.

Dead Men Walk (1943) Yeah, I know, it's pure no-budget schlock - but George Zucco in a dual role as good/evil twins (one with hairpiece, one without) and the ever-popular Dwight Frye make this worth one viewing.

The Vampire Lovers (1970) Peter Cushing and Ingrid Pitt. 'Nuff said.

Terror in the Crypt (1963) Another version of J. Sheridan LeFanu's "Carmilla" (like the above title), this one made in Italy and starring Christopher Lee. Not great by any means, but worth a viewing. It may have a different title on DVD, though.

Return of Dracula (1958) AKA Curse of Dracula, a minor but effective little film with a couple of surprisingly gory scenes - particularly that ending!

House of Dark Shadows (1970) As a stand-alone film, I liked it.

Stay tuned...

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
