Great performance: John Carradine in House of Dracula
John Carradine was one of Hollywood's great hams, but in his performances as Dracula he showed a rare restraint (in the most showy of roles) and even sensuality. His deep, resonant voice is perfect here and does not call attention to itself as in many of his other roles. Director Erle Kenton calls on some of his brilliance that he showcased but once in Island of Lost Souls to make a min/underrated classic.
