Dracula (1931)

Revealing mistake: In several of the sanatorium scenes, you can see large pieces of cardboard attached to the lamps to affect the lighting.

Martin: Aren't you ashamed now? Aren't you? Spiders now, is it? Flies ain't good enough.
Renfield: Flies? Flies? Poor puny things! Who wants to eat flies?
Martin: You do, you loony.
Renfield: Not when I can get nice fat spiders.
Martin: All right, have it your own way.

Trivia: To accommodate all sorts of viewers, the studio also made a silent version of the film (for cinemas without sound equipment) and a Spanish-speaking version (to be shown in Latin America). The Spanish version is considered a better film, because it was filmed after the English takes each day, so the Spanish director and actors would watch the English takes and decide how to improve on them.
