Notes for John Lloyd BALDERSTON

---

Writer, one of whose stage works provided the basis for the film DRACULA (1931), and who co-adapted another 1931 horror classic, FRANKENSTEIN. Balderston went on to write several superior horror screenplays and to successfully adapt a number of literary works: he scripted two of Hollywood's finest entertainments, the swashbuckling PRISONER OF ZENDA (1937) and the suspenseful GASLIGHT (1944).
Nominated for Writing (Screenplay) 1935: THE LIVES OF A BENGAL LANCER (w. Achmed Abdullah, Grover Jones, William Slavens McNutt & Waldemar Young)
Nominated for Writing (Screenplay) 1944: GASLIGHT (w. Walter Reisch & John Van Druten)
