Thanks for writing all this up. It sounds like a really well-programmed night. I've only seen the first three, and of those only Dracula (1958) on the big screen, so I am Quite Jealous of the rest - both that you got to see films I know would look amazing on the big screen, and that you got to see others I don't even know that about.

I think you're right to highlight how much more Cushing brings to his role than is strictly scripted in Dracula (1958). I mean, some of it is well-worn lore, like crossing the candle-sticks and pulling down the curtains, but the smaller points you note here like the rub of the eyes are very important, and easy to underestimate. He was such a professional.
