Propaganda
Gloria Holden (Dracula’s Daughter, The Life of Emile Zola)— She deserves to be alongside Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee as the hottest classic movie vampires. She was the first major examples of the reluctant vampire and the lesbian vampire and should have gone on to become an iconic scream queen. Her voice, her amazing gowns, and her EYES! I would let her eat me any day
Alma Rosa Aguirre (Nosotras las Taquigrafas)—no propaganda submitted
This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut]
Gloria Holden:
She made an indelible impression on me in the title role in "Dracula's Daughter" as an elegantly tormented sapphic vampire failing to repress her urges to feed on women. What can I say, I'm gay.
ooooh my god. oooooh my god. She's got the cold high society woman with secret anguish thing nailed down. Also her role as Dracula's Daughter actually inspired Anne Rice. ok.
We owe Gloria Holden for the Interview With the Vampire book and the gay awakenings of baby goths everywhere.
Her performance in Dracula's Daughter inspired Anne Rice and she's name dropped in Queen of the Damned. A queer icon, for sure. And surely this poll needs some horror movie queens?
i'm nominating her particularly for her work as a lesbian vampire in dracula's daughter (1936), which was about as overt about the concept that she was trying to suck this unsuspecting lady's blood in a gay way as it possibly could be under the hayes code

Bela Lugosi joins Gloria Holden in a publicity still for DRACULA’S DAUGHTER (1936) although he does not appear in the film.
Early press releases for this movie lauded Lugosi’s return as the ‘vampire gentleman’ to be joined by Jane Wyatt as Dracula’s Daughter.

Bela Lugosi and Gloria Holden on the set of Dracula's Daughter 1936
At first Lugosi was going to appear in this film but in the end it didn't happen and he only visited the actors on the set.

I'm so sad about Gloria Holden's likely exit from this poll, so here's some last minute propaganda.

DRACULA SMACKDOWN ROUND 1 MATCH 10: Countess Marya Zaleska (Dracula's Daughter) vs. Grimm (Hollow Knight)
PROPAGANDA FOR MARYA:
“direct descendant of the man himself. officiated his funeral. when we make dracula sexy and make him manipulative and weird and cringefail, we're stealing traits from his daughter. kidnapped a secretary to make a psychiatrist fall in love with her. eater of men and liker of women. spayed by the hayes code but they couldn't stop her bi emo swag”
PROPAGANDA FOR GRIMM:
“The developers stated in an interview that he is Dracula inspired, his wings are like a cape and he can transform into a bat-like form”
