A key element in Universal Pictures' "Dracula" lore is that the vampire's reflection can never be seen in a mirror...
...as in "Dracula" (1931) with Bela Lugosi...
...and "House of Dracula" (1945) with John Carradine.
But on at least two occasions, the filmmakers slipped up.
In "Son of Dracula" (1943), Lon Chaney's vampire performs the screen's first bat-to-man transformation.
But in doing so, his image is captured in the hallway mirror.
In 1948's "Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein", Lugosi is once again in the role.
And once again, his image is reflected in a mirror.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
