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...

ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

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!

He took that role for the money.

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