Dracula’s Daughter - 1935 - 6/10
After his death by Van Helsing, Dracula’s corpse is stolen by his daughter, Countess Marya.
A vampire herself, she hopes that by burning his body, she will lose her vampirism.
When that fails, she returns to hunting victims. Female victims.
Gloria Holden makes a chilly countess, and the role seems closer to Carmilla.
Typical of the era, marvelous Gothic sets.
The lesbian undercurrent, how did that slip past the censors?
Nevertheless, this is a melancholy story of a depressed and lonely soul.
