Cowtown Movie Classics returns to the Modern with a special presentation of "Dracula" (1931), the film that sparked the monster movie craze of the 1930s–1940s and turned Bela Lugosi into an immortal cultural icon.Pioneering horror director Tod Browning (Freaks) created this first sound adaptation of Bram Stoker’s legendary vampire novel, which sees the ancient aristocrat (Lugosi) sail from his crumbling castle in Transylvania to fog-drenched London in search of new blood.
This screening is accompanied by a newly recorded video discussion with prolific film historian and horror expert David Del Valle, author of Lost Horizons Beneath the Hollywood Sign (2016). Del Valle recounts the twisted history of the film’s production, along with stories from his friendship with Dracula star David Manners.
Tickets for this special Halloween screening are $5 (FREE for Modern members), available at the museum’s admission desk.
