Frankenstein's speechlessness (in Whale's 1931 film) or broken speech (he learns to talk in Bride of Frankenstein) must have resonated with anyone familiar with the broken English of Eastern European immigrants, while Dracula's origins in the Carpathian mountains further reinforced the perceived threat of corruption presented by East European immigrants.
