I remember being astounded some years ago when I saw what I thought
was unmistakeably a Star of David being worn as a pendant by Bela Lugosi
in (I believe) his original Dracula movie. This was in the dinner party scene
near the beginning of the movie.

Of course, from a bigot's point of view the cross is a perfect weapon
against a Jewish demon. Through the middle ages Jews were regarded by
the majority as practically a form of demon. They were blamed for everything
from the Plague to imagined human sacrifices. The latter corresponds
quite well with vampire beliefs.

Can anyone corroborate or refute my impression of Dracula's jewelry?
