Count Alucard is invited to Louisiana, USA, by plantation heiress Katherine Caldwell but his name soon attracts suspicion from one Dr Brewster (Alucard spelt backwards is Dracula). Lon Chaney Jr plays the Count, sporting a suave moustache but sadly looking a bit tubby. He doesn't have the passion of Lugosi or the presence of Lee, however Chaney is a horror legend and for me that's good enough. Strangely he travels to the US from Hungry, not Transylvania, and has an American accent, not an East European one. Louise Albritton plays Katherine, a woman of classic beauty. Alucard's transformation effects to both bat and mist are good, as are the film sets. It is also very atmospheric, despite a few weaknesses it is a good and enjoyable entry in the old Dracula cycle.
