The Return of the Vampire 03/09/19
Scream Factory
Blu-ray
CineSavant contributor and advisor Gary Teetzel revisits a film he reviewed for us seventeen years ago. Instead of continuing to play his greatest role for Universal, Bela Lugosi ‘returns’ as a generic vampire in a very Dracula-like tale for Columbia. He’s still the best fiend for the role. The show introduces a novel demise for Lugosi’s creature of the undead, plus a furry-faced werewolf to compete with Universal’s Wolf Man… a werewolf that talks. With Frieda Inescort, Nina Foch, and woofy Matt Willis. On Blu-ray from Scream Factory.
