WHY THE SPANISH VERSION IS WORTH SCREENING
9 September 2021
Although filming took place on the same studio lot as the English speaking version, the Spanish speaking version offers several intriguing opportunities to view different or expanded views of the outdoor and indoor scenery. The Spanish version clearly boasts a more comprehensive cinematography. Moreover, ominous creaking doors are louder, and the unearthly baying of the "children of the night" (wolves) definitely have a more distinctive creepiness to them. The Spanish Dracula is worth watching on several levels, and English subtitles are available on most of the recent Universal DVD releases.
