Tod Browning’s Dracula (1931) makes another appearance in a pristine 35 mm copy under Chapter II: Regression/Reversal & Slowing, of the Vampiric Projections program.
It has been observed that the vampire can perform a backward displacement: they either retreat backwards when their powers are compromised, or regress in the case of a servant vampire induced into trance/hypnosis by their master.
In one scene of the first ever Dracula-titled film, Renfield, feeling uneasy from what seems to be a temperature rise in the room, opens the door to the outer garden. As the three brides of Bela Lugosi’s Dracula lurk at Renfield’s door, he loses consciousness upon seeing the bat fly outside. The brides advance towards Renfield, and it is then than Dracula enters from the fog, waving the brides backwards with his hand. By doing so, Dracula induces the brides into a reverse trance, thereby arresting their forward motion, and inverting it to a retrograde walk.
