Dracula's Daughter (Movie Monsters Series)

Rating:
Summary: "All souls are beautiful in the eyes of God."
Review: The 1936 film "Dracula's Daughter" was always an interesting sequel to Lugosi's classic film since he is not in the low-budget film. The story focuses on the title character, Countess Marya Zeleska, who travels to London and meets a handsome young Lord. Where Professor Van Helsing discovers the young man has become a victim of a female vampire he sets off in pursuit, stake in hand. Actually, freed from the slow and tedious pace of the film, "Dracula's Daughter" is a decent horror story.

This small volume is part of the Movie Monsters series and the novelization by Carl R. Green and William R. Sanford purports to be adapted from a screenplay by Garrett Fort. In fact, all of these books that I have come across say that. Ironically, "Dracula's Daughter" is the first film in this series where the IMDB backs up the claim. Go figure. All of these books are based on classic (and semi-classic) black & white horror films from the Thirties, Forties and Fifties. So far, "Dracula's Daughter" is the best of the bunch.
