The second entry in the vampire teleporting trope is Tod Browning’s Dracula (1931).
At times callously dismissed as an early clumsy talkie, this film was the first to intuit the tunneling of the vampire through a spider’s web. What could at first consideration be brushed off as a result of the limited filming techniques of its time, is in fact an insightful execution of how the vampire would teleport through the web without tearing it, via a dissolve or cut.
