Is there even 100 'Dracula's'? I wish we could list Vampires as well. Smile

I'm not even sure. There's certainly a lot of them, I know that much. We'll see how this plays out.

While it's only a minor classic of sorts, I'm going to throw my ante into the pot for Frances Lederer for his 1958 movie The Return Of Dracula. He's definitely top 100. He had a very good performance.

In many ways, I liken Lederer to Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins, though Lederer's role as Dracula was 8-10 years before Dark Shadows but some similiarities exist.

Bellac and Barnabas both infilrated a family by claiming to be relatives from the old world (though Barnabas was in his case) and they both perplexed their relatives by only going out at night. Both also displayed similar behavior when covering their true identities, always convincing people that they were who they said, but not w\o that trace of the unknown that alluded to darker origins. R.O.D is very underrated movie.

Oh and hey, for number 2 on the list: Christopher Lee! Thumbup

Remember now, vampires cast no reflection, so therefore no pictures Wink

And lest we forget the terrible, awful Zandor Vorkov (aka Roy Engle) in Al Adamson's Dracula vs. Frankenstein. Now this is really pushing it TongueOut
