The movie that stereotyped Lugosi until his death and beyond (see Plan Nine from Outer Space if you somehow still haven't).  It's slow and "atmospheric," despite being short (75 minutes, which means I quit with an hour to go and no one had been bitten yet).  Directed by Tod Browning and of course based (via a stage play) on the Bram Stoker novel.
