Poor Bastards of Cinema: Dracula's Daughter (1936)

 Let's go back to the Golden Age of Cinema to see a random schmuck get killed.

In 1936's Dracula's Daughter (also the first Universal Horror Sequel, Film Trivia Buffs), we see the titular character show up to burn/bury her Father.

She has been afflicted with his same curse and hopes that his death will end it.

Sadly, that bit of lore had not been made up yet.

Pressed on by her Man Servant, she goes out to see if she can resist temptation.
A man walks into her range...

She does not succeed at her check and approaches the man...

She does her trick involving her hypnosis ring on him.

She also has her Dad's face-covering thing down.

...and I guess he's dead.

They didn't show fangs in a Vampire Film until the 1950s, so I guess this is for the best.

While he is an intended victim, his appearance is sudden, he is never named (not even in the Credits AFAIK) and only gets a passing mention as 'a previous victim' before the Film's end.

The lesson- avoid strange ladies in dark alleys.  I guess big rings too.

Next time, I go back to a previous Holiday Review to memorialize some real ancillary Characters.  They aren't important, but their deaths sure are violent!  See you then...
