My most recent obssession (by the way, "Doctor Who" hasn't been replaced in the slightest, it will always have a place in my science fiction, television-crazed heart), Tod Browning's version of Dracula, starring Bela Lugosi, and the novel by Bram Stoker (I'm still in the process of reading it, though) have been consuming my thoughts lately. While watching the film, I found Dwight Frye's interpration of Renfield fascinating, and he is currently my favorite (though I have not yet encountered his character in the novel), and his performance was spectacular. I find myself muttering insane quotations of him under my breath without being consciously aware of it (yes, I am a little concerned), but then again, I've watched the film three and a half times over the span of the past 3 days or so. Anyways, I took this image of him, and after some editing on Gimp made this:
By the way, I highly recommend the film, especially while listening to the version with Philip Glass' score.

Interesting! I'll have to check it out. Seems to me it's relatively hard to find a decent movie these days.
Unfortunately, that does seem to be the case most times... but yes, excellent film!
