Treatment

What's left behind the scenes

  • Although Professor Van Helsing appears in this film and is played by the same actor as in the film "Dracula" (1931), his name was changed to Professor Von Helsing. The reason for this is unknown.
  • Bela Lugosi was initially slated to play Dracula in this film (and rumors even circulated to that effect), but for unknown reasons, production moved forward and Lugosi did not participate in the filming. However, Lugosi had a contract and thus received one of his largest paychecks despite not even appearing on screen.
  • Dracula's corpse is a wax figure made to resemble the Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi (1882-1956).
  • Initially, the film company «Universal Pictures» intended to shoot a sequel based on Bram Stoker's story «Guest of Dracula» (1847-1912), and even consulted with the writer's widow, Florence (1858-1937), on this matter. During negotiations, however, it turned out that Stoker had not fulfilled a certain requirement of the US Copyright Office, as a result of which his novel «Dracula» was declared public domain. Florence wanted more creative control over the filming of the sequel, while Bela Lugosi demanded an increase in his fee for new filming in the role of Count Dracula, so the film company «Universal Pictures» simply turned to John L. Balderston (1889-1954), and he wrote a new screenplay.
  • When James Whale (1889-1957) refused to participate in the project, Albert Edward Sutherland (1895-1973) became the director. His contract included a clause according to which he was entitled to payments regardless of whether he actually worked on the film, so for the mere fact that Sutherland was considered the director of the future film for some time, he received $17,500. Before filming began, Sutherland left the project. He was replaced as director by Lambert Hiller (1889-1969), who had previously directed mostly «B» category Westerns. He was paid only $5,000 for directing.
