Synopsis
Son of Dracula (1943) is a classic Universal horror picture you can watch online on iFILM. Lon Chaney Jr. takes the cape as the secretive Count Alucard, who arrives in the American South at the invitation of a young plantation heiress.
Spell the count's surname backward and the twist is already in your hands. Katherine, mistress of the estate, is deep into the occult and hungry for a life without end — and her guest is glad to grant it. Her fiancé and the local doctor sense danger, but a bargain with the dark is hard to undo. Director Robert Siodmak drags the old European vampire legend into the humid swamps of Louisiana.
It's one of the moodiest entries in Universal's classic monster cycle: mist over the bayou, transformations into fog and bat, gothic doom rather than cheap scares. Louise Allbritton's icy Katherine is sharper company than the nominal hero. Stream Son of Dracula (1943) online on iFILM.
