My guess is this is somewhat rare. While the Spanish pressbooks for notable old movies are usually small (this one is 8.5 x 6.5 inches), they are neatly laid out and use imagery well. Of course, being House of Dracula, I couldn’t pass it up. While Frankenstein creates a monster from the the bodies of the dead, House of Dracula imagines vampirism as an affliction curable by medical means as opposed to the historic supernatural foundation. Instead of being undead, Dracula is ill, contaminating his victims with his disease. House reflected the growing American optimism for medicine and science as important tools to combat societal and personal problems.
It’s this medical help both werewolf and vampire receive in House of Dracula that makes this movie a pivotal and historically important notation in the transition from the supernatural horrors of the 1930s and 1940s to the scientific hubris (and its subsequent faux pas), and the technological fears of space alien confrontations and mass biological infections of the 1950s and 1960s sci-horror cycle.
