content: Count Dracula's diet consisted of blood primarily drawn from the necks of lovely Universal starlets. Lon Chaney, Jr. had a more varied diet and, according to Gregory William Mank's "It's Alive" (a terrific book about the studio's Frankenstein series), the son of the legendary man of a thousand faces was also a heavy drinker. Chaney is certainly heavy in "Son of Dracula," looking more like a football player than the king of the undead, and his miscasting sinks an otherwise sturdy chiller. The right mood is maintained throughout but the lack of a convincing Count all but demolishes the effort. Bela Lugosi, where are you?
