when filmmakers produced greatness without cgi, dolby surround sound & needless explosions. no blood and gore no profanity no nude sex scenes just great acting,editing,set designes,and plot. most importantly no 2 1/2 to 3 hrs runtimes. Dracula was about 1hr 15minutes.Both Bela lugosi and Dwight Frye have been immortalized by their eerie mesmerizing performances. Modern day directors should take note.Simple & straightforward works best!

The old woman crosses herself in the Roman Catholic way, not the Eastern Orthodox way most likely in Romania. Very few Eastern Orthodox in America and even fewer in Hollywood, so an understandable error. You could say Transylvania is heavily ethnic Hungarian and so she could be Roman Catholic, but about half of the Hungarians were Protestant (Reformed).
