Intrada Soundtrack Forum

What is your favorite score from a Dracula/Vampire film?

JW's DRACULA if we'll ever see decent release of the complete score. Original MCA album simply doesn't do the score justice.

then probably Daybreakers, Underworld Evolution and Interview with the Vampire taking 4th spot.

Wojciech Kilar's Dracula is probably the most influential "monster score". Even Danny Elfman had to pay homage to this terrific masterpiece in The Wolfman.

For me it would have to be Fright Night. Intrada have done an amazing job with that score & i can only hope that one day they follow suit with Fright Night 2.

Hummie Mann's Dracula: Dead and Loving It.

Love at First Bite is a runner-up.

About a hundred years ago, Silva released a CD of rerecorded music from a clutch of Hammer films, among them "Horror of Dracula", "Dracula Has Risen From the Grave", and "Taste the Blood of Dracula". The latter film stands as one of my favorite of James Bernard's scores featuring the blood-curdley horror sound he did so well alongside an unexpectedly charming and lyrical love theme - a side of his talent that didn't get as many airings as one would like.

The original tracks for "Taste the Blood of Dracula" were released on GDM years ago and I wouldn't be without them, but the 17-18 minute suite that Silva recorded with Kenneth Alwyn back in the early '90s (I think) is arranged to the music's best advantage, in my opinion. I'd love to hear it played live someday - when I win the lottery....
