SPOILER: This is really a Mummy thread.
So I'm rewatching Son of Dracula on Svengooli. I like nearly everything in this film, except the casting of Chaney, Jr. He's just too stolid and one-dimensional to play the Vampire Lord. No charisma.
I keep thinking, Carradine (or Lugosi of course) would have been better. I'm not trying to start a Chaney "hate thread"--I just feel his casting really pulls down an otherwise slick, inventive film.
