In the end, the creator is unable to control his most fascinating creation, and the "monster" eventually escapes, wreaking havoc on the neighboring town before an angry mob exacts its revenge. "Dracula": A classic version of Bram Stoker's famous tale starring Bela Lugosi in the performance that made his name synonymous with Dracula. Displaying his trademark flair for the grotesque, horror-meister Tod Browning chronicles the blood-sucking count's sinister misadventures. While haunting London in pursuit of the white-necked maiden Mina, Dracula manages to sink his fangs into plenty of other victims -- until Dr. Van Helsing puts a stop to the blood-shed by driving a stake through the vampire's heart. "The Wolf Man [1941]": After returning home to his English village, Larry Talbot gets attacked by a werewolf in the forest. Although he kills the beast, Larry realizes he has received a bite during the struggle -- a bite that passes along the monster's curse to him. Maleva, the gypsy mother of the dead wolfman, comes to Larry's aid and tells him that he too will now transform into a werewolf each time there's a full moon. While the story sounds ridiculous to Larry, he starts to believe it once more brutal killings occur in the village. Neither his father, Sir John Talbot, nor the woman Larry loves are willing to believe the truth... but soon they're forced to confront the nature of Larry's curse as well. [More]
