Meet Dracula (Famous Movie Monsters)

While the story was only loosely based on Bram Stoker's novel, the horror movie Dracula amazed moviegoers and entered the cultural imagination as a classic. This equally engaging book retells the story of the bloodthirsty Count Dracula and describes the director’s and producer's making of the film, which became Universal's top moneymaker in 1931. Readers will also learn how the Count went on to influence subsequent monster films.
