Talk:Dracula (Lost 1920 Russian Film; Existence Unconfirmed)/@comment-24161934-20131113221745

Yes, but mentioning both doesn't mean he didn't confuse them. Both the book (and the video) cite 1921 as the date of Drakula Halala, though it's now known to be older. If Melton found source material dating "the first Dracula movie" as 1920, he could easily have thought it was a separate movie. Someone below mentions that the supposed Russian movie had Ukrainian actors in it, and Drakula Halala is Ukrainian. I can't prove it, but I strongly suspect that Melton made an error.
