Welcome to the first full week of the Countdown to Halloween!
I'm afraid I goofed! I promised you readers new posts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in October, but I missed out this past Friday. Sorry about that! I'll throw in an extra post at some point this month to make up for it. Today, I share with you what I would have posted last Friday.
This is the 1980 Japanese anime horror film Dracula, Sovereign of the Damned! Based on Marvel Comic's 1970s horror comic Tomb of Dracula, the film features the Son of the Devil, being, well, devilish. If you think it odd that a Japanese studio would adapt an American horror comic, don't--it's also been done with Marvel's The Monster of Frankenstein comic from the same time period. I've featured the Frankenstein film right here on this blog a few years ago.
Enjoy! And sorry for depriving you of this movie last Friday! Watch the movie embedded below or directly on YouTube here.
I remember hearing about that movie when I was like 12... I got very curious about it. I only watched it when I was in my thirties. Gosh it was bad. But I am a purist: Dracula is my favourite horror novel.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of this before, at all. Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteGuillaume: I've tried the novel several times but couldn't get into it. But I enjoy Dracula's story, if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteJoe: I'm always glad to expose people to something they've never seen before. Thanks!
