2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

Dracula and Frankenstein both came out during the same year, 1931. Dracula was so popular in early 1931 that they were able to do all of Frankenstein by the end of the year. Can you imagine?
Those two began the modern era of horror. Modern being not silent.
I guess talking about a movie? Frankenstein book came out in 1818 and Dracula book came out 1897.
They mention the silent and modern era. Obviously talking about audiobooks.
Book on phonograph.
They must be: Dracula 1931 and Frankenstein 1931
By that time ‘Dracula’ was already plagiarized as ‘Nosferatu’ in 1922, since F.W. Murnau wasn't given the rights to adapt ‘Dracula’, so he shrugged his shoulders, changed a few things and made his own film. Inventing some stuff on the way like Nosferatu being affected by sunlight, about which Dracula and folklore vampires never gave a shit.
The 1931 ‘Dracula’ is notable partly due to its set having been used at nights to make a Spanish-language version in parallel. Which is considered better than the English-language one, because its crew had access to the English dailies and could check what worked and what didn't.
Well it certainly didn't leave me silent
