Impeccable timing! The trailer for the upcoming remake dropped yesterday.

Highly recommend the Werner Herzog remake which heavily influenced The Crow and Dark City. Will watch this tonight for sure.

That was fun, but you know I love the classics. I have been asking for Frankenstein forever. And for that one, you don't even have to read. We will all be happy about that, right? Just joking. I think you did a great job, and I loved the voiceover for Renfield, which had me in stitches. In the original novel, Dracula was nocturnal; the day was not his natural time. It's his usual rest time, but he can move about by day. He'll be tired and weaker, and he cannot shapeshift during the daylight hours. He can't become a wolf, bat, or mist while the sun is up, but he will not burn. The sunlight will not kill him. I would like to see you watch Bram Stoker's Dracula next.

Awesome stuff! I've long wanted to see you cover classic horror and Nosferatu is a great one. It's the best silent horror movie out there. Great reaction 🙂

Jeb Manning

Bram Stoker's Dracula would be cool, but I'd like to see Kat react to a couple of the other Dracula movies before it. Like Bela Lugosi's Dracula and Christopher Lee's Dracula.

Anton Hennicker

Loved that Kat, spec your voiceover impressions of Knock !!! lol...Bram Stokers Dracula with Keanu is boss, english accent is brilliant !!! Failing that any Christopher Lee Count films I'd love to see ya watch.

I'm so excited to see you start watching some of the classics!! I second the vote for Frankenstein and I also recommend The Invisible Man from 1933. Those two are probably my favorites from the Universal Horror Films.

Most of the vampire rules come from Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula, as did this film. I think Stoker's estate gave them grief over this film since it is obviously stolen directly from the novel (and there's a stage play). They just changed names and a few plot elements and, presto change-o, not plagiarism! Apparently the original version was hand tinted, and so the night scenes were most likely tinted blue to show that it was night. I'm not sure any tinted prints still exist. Real low light levels were difficult with the slow speed film stock available then. You need to see Bela Lugosi's "Dracula" (1931) if you haven't already. It is seminal. See the others afterward.

Entertaining reaction Kat . I would like to see you react to Dracula from 1931 . With Bela Lugosi next .

Nice reaction! In the restored version the film is tinted, so scenes at night are a light blue, daytime is a little yellow, etc. It really adds to the experience and helps to understand if it's day or night. Haxan uses a similar technique - another fun watch from 1922. I think there was a lot of cross pollination at the time between painting, photography, music, dance... all inventing new vocabularies for themselves. Good stuff.

Eddie Perkins

Bela Lugosi's Dracula is a classic and one of my favorites. I wish she would watch a lot more classics.

Kevin Fries

Please finish the Haunting of Hill House series! I was loving it ❤️

Jeb Manning

Rewatching this and it's so good. I love your appreciation for the effects and you doing Knock's voice. I really hope you keep doing classics. Since you were asking about a Dracula movie, I'd recommend the 1931 Universal Monsters classic Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi. Lugosi's Dracula ended up influencing so much of pop culture. When most people think of Dracula, they usually think of Bela Lugosi. Lugosi was even buried in his Dracula cape when he died.

Jeb Manning

I'd also recommend the 1954 Universal Monster classic Creature from the Black Lagoon for the summer. Creature from the Black Lagoon is a big one for summer because of the South American jungle and the tropical feel of being on a boat in the lagoon. Also because it's about an aquatic monster killing people. Kinda like when you did Jaws last year. I think it'd make for a really fun reaction 🙂

Georgius Agricola

Kat, I can't believe you expressed surprise the movie is B&W! Come on, it's from 1922. BTW the lead actor's name Schreck means 'fright' in German--how appropriate. He was born for the role! (What a dainty sneeze!) Kat-ism (not made for silent films?): "Reading's hard you know." Kudos to Kat for taking on a 100 year old silent film! And the vertical lines Kat mentioned I am guessing are damage to the film stock, or scratches, picked up over the years of running this copy through a projector. Keep in mind that for 60 years or more the only way this film was displayed was by running reel-to-reel film stock through a hot projector, and pieces of dust likely scratched the film creating vertical damage seen as lines when the film was later played for analog or digital transfer. (Non-sequitur fun fact: the studio says that the primo Blu-ray of the Wizard of Oz was made using the film that was actually in the cameras when the movie was made! Cool!)

Zoe

Weird question, but I signed up for 10 dollars a month but the movie portion video or sound won’t show on the screen?

PiperH

I believe that is how it’s posted here so people can watch the movie on another device along with her? I prefer to watch the movie in the tiny box like on YouTube tho. LOL. Makes the scary bits less scary.

It's standard for Creators to not include the full audio and video due to copyright, as they would be effectively streaming a movie to you without possessing the requisite rights. This one is free to watch on YouTube though, thus if you have a two monitor Desktop setup then place movie and reaction on screens 1 and 2 respectively (if you have one monitor, then play reaction on phone/ tablet/ console/ Smart TV and movie on Desktop/ Laptop.....or similar combination). =D

NOSFERATU (1922) One of the best Vampire films in the history of horror movies! Max Schreck must have been the real deal .. He had Vampyre written all over his face, what a make-up job .. this film still creeps me out. It's 102 year's old and still scaring the B'jeezuz out people everywhere .. that's telling you something .. I would be careful with this one K@t .. you may have nightmare's for days to come, just saying .. M@x.

Jim

Kat I think I rewatched your “never mind” reaction at least half a dozen times on it’s own

Wally

Kat, now that you've seen this, you should watch "Shadow of the vampire" (2000), a fictionalized account of the filming of "Nosferatu". And, yes, it does qualify as a HORROR movie; it's Rated R for a reason. It stars an unrecognizable Willem Defoe as Max Schrek.

Symon O'Hagan

This was my very favourite reaction yet! That was so much fun to watch with you! I would like to echo Wally's recommendation for "Shadow of the Vampire" it is really heaps of fun - it will give you some of the background on this movie you were asking for and the performances are incredible. Willem Dafoe is a-MAY-zing, but there's also a wonderful performance by Suzy Izzard (then Eddie) who plays the actor playing Hutter and her performance is so (to modern eyes) over-the-top as a silent movie actor it's an absolute joy. Please please please elbow it to the top of your must-watch list.

Jeff

As far as walking around in the daylight, I think film technology was still so young they couldn't film in low light conditions so they just filmed it in the day and said it was night. If anyone knows differently let me know.

China Andronicus

Willem Dafoe got an Oscar nomination for this performance, and it was well deserved! This film is amazing with a fabulous cast and one of the season’s must-watch films.

Luke Wilson

I also recommend "Shadow of the Vampire" Dafoe is amazing!
