So I'm not the only one who's ever noticed the Twilight parallels with Son Of Dracula! Lon Chaney Jr. was kind of a laugh in that one, but I love it because the creep factor comes from the human woman doing exactly what Bella Swan does: perving on a vampire and pressuring him to turn her.
Which leads to the unspoken question "Does this girl only want me for my contagious monstrousness, or does she really love me for myself?" The answer for the heroine in Son Of... was emphatically the former, which has always made me think of Bella going the same route.
