Perhaps the most famous example is “Drácula,” shot at the same time as the Tod Browning version but filmed at night, after Browning’s crew had left. Maybe the nighttime shooting benefited the production, for many horror fans deem the “Spanish Dracula” as the superior film. Judge for yourself at this almost-Halloween screening of a horror classic.
