Gloria Holden as Dracula's daughter

No need to recap the Dracula story, but this is the original with Bela Lugosi in the title role. Released by Universal in 1931, its commercial success led the studio to greenlight Frankenstein, which was released later the same year. These two films firmly established Universal as the home of horror movies. Dracula's Daughter picks up the narrative where the first film left off. Dracula is dead, but his daughter lives on. Played by Gloria Holden, it's said her absolute disdain for the genre in which she was contracted to act greatly enhanced her performance in the role, which received much acclaim at the time.
