Dude with a strange accent in a tuxedo with a cape lives in the most decrepit house ever by himself, calls wolves “children of the night”, and this guy is like, “nah this is a good idea.”
So funny that those were supposed to make the castle seem 'creepy' and 'strange' when their presence is a totally regular occurrence in some places. I live on the east coast, and I see them digging around for food at night all the time!
I wonder if in the movie’s version of the lore, since they are depicted as “creatures of the night”, this means Dracula can transform into an armadillo?
@@walterfechter8080 the ppl that made the movie were definitely well aware of everything u just said but.... They look so cool in this scene so who tf cares 😂
Classic horror movie from 1931. Over 90 years old now. Wow. Rip Bela Lugosi. Great actor and one of the kings of horror movies. Thanks for posting this.🦇
@@xaviermiddlefinger2830 Lee is a close second. I say this because of the sheer iconic power of Lugosi. 'Dracula' as a household name exists as Bela Lugosi. He's as stamped into our consciou
90 years they stayed together, I can only imagine all the fancy parties they attended nights on the town, all the fights in every county in Europe Renfield protecting his master and maybe even falling deeply in love with eachother. While the count's brides get a big shove off to the far right.
This isn't Jonathan in this adaptation; it's Renfield. I don't know why they made Renfield the solicitor for this instead of Jonathan but there you go.
I watched an anime comedy about a vampire who has an armadillo pet called John. I thought it was a wacky 'random' thing, but now I understand it's a reference.
Dracula looked so goofy in that movie. Here in this film he looks like how I would imagine...suave, sophisticated, yet deadly. In that movie he looks like a George Washington zombie.
I like how there are 6 or 7 red flags in this scene alone and Renfield ignores every one of them

He literally saw his driver turn to a bat. Surprised a little bit, then continue like usual.
hes being drawn in subconsciously that's how he ended up there in the first place, Dracula has a type of, persuasion
Dracula offers Renfield a drink and not pouring himself a drink.

The armadillos really pull the scene together, love those lil dudes

dude was probably thinking "man, y'all need to get an exterminator up in here!"
There aren't any armadillos in Romania, but there ARE porcupines, bears and wolves.

“Listen to them, children of the night. What music they make!” That’s stuck with me for so many years. Dracula will always be in a league of it’s own.
He sounds better then new Dracula in Bram stoker Dracula film. I think Bela lagosi better than the character in New Bram stoker Dracula.
In the movie "Ed Wood", Lugosi uses the same line in referring to his chihuahuas.
Book-accurate line too. I love it!

"The spider spinning his web for the unwary fly." I think it's obvious who's the spider and who's the fly in this situation.
That was probably the point of the line
Damn, I honestly never thought about it this way...
crazy to think queen elizabeth was 5 years old when this was released.
RIP
A true classic.

Dracula to Renfield:
I bid you welcome!
Children of the night!
Apparently they have armadillos in Transilvania...wait a minute!
Apparently, the censors thought that rats and such would be too graphic for audiences so they brought in armadillos and a possum lol
Perhaps one of the Brides was actually American and had pet armadillos before she got turned.
And in another scene, it looks like Dracula keeps possums in the cellar.
So random. Really did not get that.
@@delavalmilkerIt may have been a smart idea, Possum's feed on ticks and eat snakes and mice, so no wonder you never saw mice in Dracula's pad lol.
0:15 "Hay drivuh!" Dwight let the mid-Atlantic slip for a moment lol
All those years on Broadway must have tweaked his accent. 🤣
I like that old trans-atlantic accent. ^^
Dracula`s entrance must have terrified audiences in 1931! Still chilling after all these years.
I wouldn’t go into that castle with less than a platoon.
A total classic. 🦇🦇🦇.
This movie🎬 was 88 years ago.
Bela did creepy better than anybody!
Still to this very day , @0:05 is the greatest looking visual shot of any Draculas castle of any movie ❤
Bill and Ted: Most heinous!
Ted: This castle's giving off bogus vibes.
Bill: Totally.

"Ah, fresh victims for my ever-growing army of the undead;"
"Sir, you have to let go of that button."
"OH, SON OF A...!!"
Awesome
1:44 Clearly those are the children of the night Dracula was talking about
Armadillos in Transylvania? In another scene, we also see that Dracula keeps possums in the basement.
Blame that one on a lack of much of a budget
POV: you’re here after watching the new Renfield movie.
90 years they stayed together, I can only imagine all the fancy parties they attended nights on the town, all the fights in every county in Europe Renfield protecting his master and maybe even falling deeply in love with eachother. While the count's brides get a big shove off to the far right.
I love Dracula 👻
I like how nobody’s talking about Renfield 2024 because it had the opening scenes of the original film
The Count should hug Jonathan since he was tired all way journey 🤗
This isn't Jonathan in this adaptation; it's Renfield. I don't know why they made Renfield the solicitor for this instead of Jonathan but there you go.
“The blood is the life Mr. Renfield.”
Dracula has such an accent, well he lives in Transylvania, that’s in Romania. Spooky!
At this point I would be running down the hill like the hill like the clappers.
Im watching this in 2024...omg
way better then the new ones..this is classic ..new ones stink!!
love dracula i give it 50,0000000 star
1:44 Where did the armadillos come from? There’s no armadillos in Romania.
90 years ago
Every single person in this movie is dead. Think about that for a second.
To die...to be really dead...that must be glorious!
Undead.
Does anyone have any knowledge of the set, was it purpose build or filmed on location, its extraordinary!
In those days they used scene painters to paint giant backgrounds.
The interior of the castle was a set but the outside was a glass painting
Just built on he Universal lot!
Reinfield gets turned out 😂
1931
Seeing an American armadillo in a Romanian castle is creepy. He should have left then! 😂
Vincent: hello I’m Vincent Alvarado what’s your name.
Count Dracula: I am Dracula Vincent Alvarado and it’s nice to meet you.
Why armadillos?
I think a lot of audiences would've seen them as exotic and strange, like how they used a hyena in nosferatu
I watched an anime comedy about a vampire who has an armadillo pet called John. I thought it was a wacky 'random' thing, but now I understand it's a reference.
Armadillos? What are armadillos doing there?! Not even slightly scary...
Personally I think the scariest thing about it could be that Dracula (or perhaps his brides) haven't been confined to Transylvania.
what's with the armadillos
Literally Iorn man before Iorn Man
Bloodborne's Castle Cainhurst anyone?
I swear i was about to write the same thing.
Now my day is ruined
Transylvania might be a haunting and creepy place in Romania, but I don’t believe in vampires. 🧛🏻♂️🦇⚰️🩸🇷🇴
Does anyone know if this locket that Dracula wears has any meaning?
Dracula does have a very creepy haunted castle in Transylvania.
the castle was made up of Card Board .
