Six Draculas. Six very different versions of the world's most famous vampire.

In Part 1 of The Deja Review's Dracula Special, Mart and Trev sink their teeth into three landmark interpretations of Count Dracula, beginning with Bela Lugosi in Dracula (1931), moving into the blood-soaked Hammer Horror era with Christopher Lee in Horror of Dracula (1958), before entering the seductive gothic world of Frank Langella's Dracula (1979).

From Lugosi's hypnotic stare and iconic cape to Lee's terrifying, blood-red take on the Count and Langella's romantic reinvention, we explore how Dracula evolved across nearly 50 years of cinema.

Mart and Trev break down the performances, scares, gothic atmosphere, special effects, adaptations of Bram Stoker's story and the changing portrayal of Dracula himself, along with the behind-the-scenes stories that helped turn these films into horror history.

DRACULA (1931) – Bela Lugosi creates the cinematic vampire blueprint.

HORROR OF DRACULA (1958) – Christopher Lee brings blood, violence and Hammer Horror to the Count.

DRACULA (1979) – Frank Langella transforms Dracula into a dangerously seductive romantic figure.

Which actor gives us the greatest Dracula?

Does Bela Lugosi's legendary performance remain untouchable?

Did Christopher Lee create the most terrifying Count?

Or is Frank Langella the Dracula you'd actually invite inside?

In this first part Three Counts enter. Only one can rule the night.

Join the debate in the comments:
Rank them — Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee or Frank Langella?

And don't forget Part 2, where Dracula enters the modern era with Gary Oldman, Gerard Butler and Luke Evans.
