Ed Wood Quote
[ on the reason for the success of 'Dracula(1931)' ]
Bela Lugosi : They were mythic. They had a poetry to them.
Edward D. Wood, Jr. : Yes.
Bela Lugosi : And you know what else? The women... the women preferred the traditional monsters.
Edward D. Wood, Jr. : The women? Huh?
Bela Lugosi : The pure horror, it both repels, and attracts them, because in their collective unconsiousness, they have the agony of childbirth. The blood. The blood is horror.
Edward D. Wood, Jr. : You know, I never thought of that.
Bela Lugosi : Take my word for it. If you want to make out with a young lady, take her to see "Dracula".
