Title: The cardboard you can never again unsee (in Lugosi's Dracula)
Post by: JasonPratt on November 03, 2017, 12:30:32 PM
From Cinemassacre today, some "Extremely Nerdy Horror Trivia".

Why is this crappy piece of torn cardboard in an iconic scene from Universal's original 1932 Dracula?

This rabbit hole goes farther than you will expect...

Did you know? That piece of cardboard continued to work as an actor for some years and made his final appearance in the Randolph/Mortimer scene in Coming To America. True story!

Yes, and you can see how he didn't age well.
