Woop!! Woop!!

So, my husband let me spend his $10.93 for my double feature!!

Now, in between 4-7 sentences, can someone just give me the 'gist' of "Doctor Mabuse"? Should I watch Etioper (whatev) first; since I don't know what any of them are about, would it matter?

Mini poll: and, this is for any/all versions of Dr. Mabuse. Which is your favorite? Why?

It's going to be so great to see our alums on TWO newish movies (in addition to their 'walk on part in a war, for a lead roll in a cage', to para-phrase a song).

Woop!!!!!!!!

Okay, got the names right. I don't know why I always say Renfew instead of Renfield. (A few of you through the years have corrected me on this.) Was there any characters in the 'old fashioned scary movies' named Renfew?

Alright, watching (what I consider the 'original' Dracula), 1931/B. Lugosi.

Until the movie Van Helsing came out, I do not ever remember hearing of him. You also have mentioned the Van Helsing character (not the one w/Hugh Jackman). In OS, to me, seems like Prof. Stokes would be him, but, we're not ever actually and 'in-your-face' told that Stokes knows about Barn. This leaves Julia, who, well, we know she couldn't fight against him.

Again, 1931, and, it's been mentioned here that Lugosi never bears teeth. Were people in the 1931 time so familiar w/vampires that he doesn't have to? Or, would that have been too 'shocking' (by 1930/little earlier, there were now 'standards', which, 15 years before, it was a free for all.

Again, anyone know if either Dracula or Frankenstein was ever a stage production? (Back then I mean.)

No....I haven't ever watched it yet.

On subject (somewhat), did you ever figure out why I couldn't login to here at my work?

Thanks dahling,

Patti

Umm, didn't any of the PT characters ever hear of or read, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde?

Seriously....

Doesn't Quentin see any pattern of 'badness'? (Which, to be fair, he could start wondering about Barnabas; fairly close on the timeline.)

Kinda OT, but, on "Supernatural", the bros are taking a mini-vacation. They're supposed to be in Hollywood on a tourist drive.
The driver says, "And on your right, you'll see where 'Gilmore Girl' was filmed".
Then, when ride is over, Sam says, "Kinda cold for Hollywood", to which Dean replies, "Yeah, more like Canada", which is where bot GG & SN are/were filmed.
