Browning's Mark of the Vampire

Tod browning made mark of the vampire in 19 36, a pastiche of themes and ideas from london after midnight and dracula. The studio actually lost more money on it than it had on freaks. Browning was next slated to work on a cagin country melodrama called louisiana loo for which am falkner was brought on to collaborate. He got the run around from the project's other writers about what the picture was even about, and was soon fired.
