This popular horror classic picks up where Dracula left off. Dr. Von Helsing (Edward Van Sloan), thinking he has rid London of all vampires, is instead arrested for murder. Just when Von Helsing’s fate seems sealed, the bodies suddenly disappear. Soon several people are found mysteriously killed, their bodies drained of all blood. Meanwhile, beautiful and mysterious Countess Marya Zaleska (Gloria Holden) appears in London. The troubled woman seeks the understanding Dr. Garth (Otto Kruger), Von Helsing’s psychiatrist, for consultation. A mysterious sequence of events surrounding a disoriented young girl (Nan Grey) leads Von Helsing and Garth to deduce the countess must be a vampire. They set off to Transylvania after the elusive countess to rescue Garth’s beautiful fiancée (Marguerite Churchill) in this engrossing thriller.

Critics Consensus: Dracula's Daughter extends the Universal horror myth in an interesting direction, but the talky script and mild atmosphere undermine its ambition.

One of the more fascinating entries. While many of the lesbian vampire films of old used the predatory lesbian and “bury your gays” tropes, this 1936 horror film is an introspective piece that leans into the experience of internalized homophobia.

Universal’s cut rate sequel to Dracula sans Bela Lugosi turns out to be an unexpectedly sleek and stylish movie.

More fascinating than effective, Dracula's Daughter nevertheless gave us a queer icon for the ages.

Dracula's Daughter's interest in the psychology of the monster has had a lasting impact on the depiction of vampires, but Countess Zaleska is so fascinating it's hard not to wish the film was more focused on her. The character deserved better!

...with surprising emphasis on hypnosis, this is a personable film that strains at the leash in terms of full-blooded sexuality...
