Do you think Dracula might have a stake in that company?

So, by them naming that hat that, were they being clever or cryptic?

OK, that's all. I'm out. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Nice shape of hat, but the designover it....uhm.... not my bag. Looks like some groovy hep cat's adaptation of a hat trying to avoid looking like their old man, or making some sort of statement by altering it. Low budget version of Lennon's psychadelic Rolls, perchance?

Yeah. Not exactly my bag... Cool name though. I always think of Dracula in the top hat he wore in the Brahm Stoker version (imperfect, but still the cinematic outing that stuck closest to the book IMO), though if he had been around in the 30s, I'd have put him in a silver grey Fedora.

On the move again...
I don't think Dracula would rise to the occassion for that hat.:p

That name came from "Son of Dracula" (1943). I had watched it on TCM about two weeks ago on a late Saturday night. Here is the description of the film from IMDB.
"Count Alucard finds his way from Budapest to the swamps of the Deep South after meeting Katherine Caldwell, of the moneyed Caldwell clan that runs a plantation called Dark Oaks. She's obsessed with occult matters. Who better to guide her through this supernatural world than Count Alucard, whose name no one bothers to spell backwards? No one, that is, except the wily Dr. Brewster, an old family friend. He'll join Professor Lazlo, a specialist in the occult, in fighting this "Alucard" and the woman he's influenced. Or has Katherine influenced him? Meanwhile, Katherine's fiancé, Frank Stanley, will find his courage and his sanity sorely tested when he accidentally shoots Katherine to death, yet finds that she goes on living."

There were actullly some great looking suits, hats & dresses in that film, a couple of good looking cars too, but not that unholy terror of a head topper.

Cheers!
