Cinemark theaters playing Dracula around Halloween!!!

[supes]

I don't know if it is all of them but the one in NEwark Delaware is playing the original Dracula starring Bela Lugosi on the big screen people!!!! If you have a Cinemark check it out!I will try to get the exact dates and post them. I just remember it is around Halloween.

It would be great if more movie theaters did this, Halloween is on a Friday this year, so a triple feature
of Dracula-Frankenstein and Wolfman would be cool, one night only special, free candy at the counter
for kids 12 and under.

It's a double feature with the Spanish version, which is the superior film, aside from Lugosi and Dwight Frye! My son and I took in the Frankenstein/Bride double feature a few years back. Definitely have to check this out!

The other classics coming out look great too: Princess Bride, BTTF trilogy, Psycho, Monty Python. Heck, even Ghost!

My daughter will be upset. She is a Princess Bride FANATIC! And the closest theater is 2 hours away.

The kids really enjoyed The Mummy/Wolfman double bill last year but I don't think we've got a repeat with Dracula. It's not my favorite either. Would have preferred "Bride of Frankenstein" in the mix somehow....

I wasn't aware Mummy/Wolfman got a release like this! I was asleep at the wheel there. The Wolf Man is my favorite Universal film.

Dracula is a real slow-burn, maybe not so on a larger screen.

They should show A&C, House of Frank/Drac, and Revenge of the Creature. Those are fun.

Dracula is a bit hard to get through, because it's so stagey for the most part. Lugosi and Frye are the reasons to watch it, as Tod Browning is asleep at the director's wheel for anything after the action moves to England. Some folks chalk this up to the time, but Frankenstein was made the same year, and has none of these problems.

If I can I'll probably go just to see it on the big screen, but it's probably the least appealing of the Universal monster films to me. Some of the sets look great, and Lugosi is magnetic and Frye is creepy, but as others have said it's slow and stagey.

I'd like to see a Bride/Young Frankenstein double feature in the theaters. Or Son and Young Frankenstein.

I've always found it funny that so many people like Young Frankenstein but have never seen the three films it parodies.

I'm kind of "meh" on seeing Dracula in theatres, but I'd actually like to see the Spanish version presented so.

The Cinemark theatre closest to me will be showing it and I think I'll try to go. Curious to see the films on a big screen.

I would definitely go see Dracula if I could, but the only theatre playing it is about a three hour drive. I wish it was showing locally.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I'm in. Not sure who else is going with me, but I'll go it alone if I have to!

I am curious to see how many people turn up to see the films.
