Son of Dracula

Dracula moves to New Orleans and causes a stir in Siodmak’s seminal work of horror, the third of Universal’s films revolving around Bram Stoker’s titular vampire noble. Count Alucard (Lon Chaney Jr.) accepts an invitation to the United States from Katherine Caldwell (Louise Allbritton), a plantation owner’s immortality-obsessed daughter, whom he quickly marries. But this proves to be a dark development when inexplicable and frightening events begin happening around town, mobilizing a small group of occultists and concerned family friends to try and stop their new neighbor/undead interloper. Somewhat misunderstood at the time of its release as a mere monster movie, Siodmak’s first film for Universal endures as a sophisticatedly constructed crime film haunted by the supernatural.
