The Legend Begins

DRACULA-1931-Every horror fan knows this was the first sound horror film and despite its flaws it ushered in the “golden age” of monsters and vampires. Universal followed it with their adaptation of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein and at night a special Spanish language version was filmed using many of the same sets. Some claim it's better than the famous Tod Browning version but Carlos Villarias in the lead is no Lugosi. Here are some quotes:

“I dislike mirrors”.

“For one who has not even lived a single lifetime you are a wise man, Van Helsing”.

“The Strength of the vampire is that people will not believe in him”.

“Isn't this a strange conversation for men who aren't crazy?”.

“I am Dracula”.

“I bid you welcome”.

“Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make”.

“The Spider spinning his web for the unwary fly. The blood is the life, Mr. Renfield”.

“I never drink... wine”.

“Your will is strong Van Helsing”.

Rats,rats rats! Thousands, millions of them. All red blood. All these will I give you”.

“He's resting. Just waiting for new life to come”.

“We must find another brain”

“One man crazy. 3 very sane spectators”.

“In the name of God, now I know what it's like to be God”.

Quotes from Professor Backwards (1910-1976)-Courtesy of Wikipedia:

"I had a brand-new Mercury. I loaned it to my brother last week. I said, 'Treat it as if it was your own.' He sold it."

"I was walking in Manhattan the other day and a guy ran up to me and said, 'How do I get to the nearest hospital?' I told him, 'Just walk across Park Avenue with your eyes closed.'"

"I went up to the salesgirl. I said, 'I'd like to see something cheap in a man's suit.' She said, 'The mirror's on the left.'"

"What gets me is that estimated tax return. You have to guess how much you're gonna make. You have to fill it out, fix it up, sign it, send it in. I sent mine in last week. I didn't sign it. If I have to guess how much I'm gonna make, let them guess who sent it."

"You know what a stewardess is. That's a girl who asks you what you want, then straps you in the seat so you can't get it."
