Dracula (1931) Trivia Questions
1. "Dracula" (1931) was widely celebrated for actor Bela Lugosi's role as Dracula. However, he was not the first choice for the role of the Count, and in fact had to fight for the part. Who was Universal Studio's first choice?

From Quiz Horror Masters: "Dracula" (1931)

Answer: Lon Chaney

Lon Chaney was an experienced actor, having starred in two Universal smash hits; the horror films "The Hunchback of Notre Dome" and "The Phantom of the Opera". Carl Laemmle (owner of Universal Studios) didn't want to do a film version of "Dracula" unless it starred Lon Chaney. Unfortunately, Chaney died of throat cancer in 1930, before production began. Ian Keith was considered for the role of the Count after Chaney couldn't do it, but didn't make it either. Laemmle was not at all interested about Lugosi playing Dracula, but had to settle, due to the fact that he didn't cost much (only 500 dollars a week) and that he worked hard to land the role.

2. Todd Browning received the credit for directing the film. Who did the camera work?

From Quiz The 1931 "Dracula"

Answer: Karl Freund

The camera work done by Freund is credited as being the best thing of the movie. (Next to Bela Lugosi, of course!) His moving camera technique gives the film an eerie mood.

From Quiz Horror Masters: "Dracula" (1931)

Answer: Philip Glass & Glass

Philip Glass is an Academy-Award nominated composer, receiving an Award nomination for his score on Martin Scorsese's film "Kundun". Universal Studios had made three films as of 2007, based off of Bram Stoker's "Dracula". There was of course the famous 1931 version directed by Tod Browning, the 1931 Spanish version of the film, and a 1979 remake of "Dracula" starring Frank Langella has the Count. The 1979 remake is the "Dracula" film that has more of a horror/romance story plot then the other two. People know Dracula from the 1931 film, because most have not seen "Nosferatu" (the first film that featured a story plot based on the Bram Stoker novel, but however it was stopped being shown because of lawsuits). "Dracula" (1931) marked one of the first times the famous vampire appeared on-screen. Bela Lugosi's role is very well known and is always considered the perfect Dracula. According to the Internet Movie Database, there are about 160 films with Dracula as a lead role! "Dracula" has been a very significant movie in American history, and it will be treasured forever as one of the greatest horror films of all-time.
