Count Dracula buys a house in England and starts causing terror yada yada yada
If you have never seen a Franco film before, this is a good one to start with. The presence of Lee and Lom as the count and Van The Man Helsing will help matters a lot for non Franco-philes. This film is supposedly about the closest you get on celluloid to what Stoker put down in words, although this is open for debate. Lee starts off as an elderly Count and gets younger with every feed which is nice touch, straight from the book. The plot is, admittedley, slow, but the again the book hardly charges on like a freight train. Mainstrem Franco, but still with many of his peculiar flourishes.
