Dracula (1931 film)/Trivia

• Creator Breakdown: During the filming, director Tod Browning was very hard to work with due to his suffering from alcoholism and loss of his friend Lon Chaney.
• Missing Episode: In its original release, the movie had an epilogue in which Edward Van Sloan addressed the audience. It starts out sounding like a reassuring This Is a Work of Fiction message, until at the last moment he subverts it with "There really are such things as vampires!" The epilogue was cut from the 1936 re-release due to fears of offending religious groups by endorsing the occult, and is now lost.
• Prop Recycling: The sets for Castle Dracula and Carfax abbey were re-used many times by Universal on the following decade.
