'''''[[Dracula]]''''' is a [[Universal Horror]] film from 1931, which made [[Bela Lugosi]] famous as ''The'' [[Classical Movie Vampire]]. His portrayal of [[Dracula]] is the one most people think of when they hear the characters name (or even just the word "vampire"), even those that have never seen the movie.
 
Here's a summary:
 
Being bored with Transylvania, Count Dracula decides to move into London for some fresh blood. After making the proper arrangements with Renfield, Dracula makes him his thrall and travels to England by the sea, killing the crew of his ship in the process.
Line 16 ⟶ 14:
As victims turn up and Mina Harker starts to act weirdly, certain Professor Van Helsing comes to help...
 
The film was originally planned to be a high-budget adaptation of [[Dracula (novel)|Bram Stoker's original novel]], but due to [[The Great Depression]], the film was instead adapted from the popular stage play at the time by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston.
 
In 1936, it was followed by a direct sequel entitled ''[[Dracula's Daughter|Draculas Daughter]]''.
 
For the 1958 [[Hammer Horror]] adaptation go to ''[[Horror of Dracula]]''.
