Lon Chaney Jr. (Fireball Jungle) makes for a horrible "Hungarian" vampire in the Siodmak brothers' 1943 Son Of Dracula, directed by Robert (The Spiral Staircase) and written by Curt (The Wolf Man) with Eric Taylor (the 1943 Phantom Of The Opera). And with that pedigree it's a surprisingly pedestrian affair about a Southern heiress (Louise Crazy House Allbritton) who invites the suspiciously named Count Alucard (Chaney) to her New Orleans plantation. With Robert Paige from The Monster And The Girl, Dr. Cyclops' Evelyn Ankers, and Jim the Crow from Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life.
