this film be actually much good than you might think much good than some of the others in this universal series and like house of dracula and for example and which feature a whole roster of horror character and but no plot whatsoever . son of dracula and on the other hand and do have a fairly reasonable plot and special effect which be excellent for the period and and a very good performance from lon chaney jr. a the count . chaney be much good than you might expect and and although obviously not in the same vampiric league a lugosi and be much more credible than john caradine and who star a dracula in others in this series . at time and you can almost forget that chaney be forever typecast a the wolfman and and suspend disbelief in his portrayal a the romanian but with an american accent count . apart from that and you have here all the ingredient for a psycho billy treat steam southern swamp and gothic southern mansion and creepy fortune teller and raven haired gothic beauty and and even hot roadster coupe yep and all this in a in a dracula movie . just a shame that the original meteor or the cramp do not get to play on the soundtrack . so and do not dismiss this a another ragbag filler it actually quite entertaining .
