6) Dracula’s Daughter (1936)

This underrated follow-up to Dracula (1931) takes a more shadowy and introspective route with gothic elegance and psychological intrigue. Dracula’s Daughter (1936) dives into much darker waters, especially with the character of Countess Marya Zaleska, played by Gloria Holden. The film carries a moody, atmospheric vibe and feels slightly ahead of its time. As one of the earliest horror movies to subtly explore themes of repression and sexuality, it adds a layer of depth that distinguishes it from typical vampire stories.
