The Creature welcomes you into his black lagoon.

Carlos Villarias and Lupita Tovar in the Spanish version of “Dracula” (1931)

The Spanish version was directed by George Melford and shot on the same sets as the English version, during nightime hours - it was also produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr..  The Spanish crew had the advantage of watching the dailies from the English crew’s version when they came in for the evening and they would figure out better camera angles and more effective use of lighting in an attempt to “top” it.
