Summary
"The world's most famous vampire is hard to kill. Over and over, Bram Stoker's Dracula has been adapted for the screen, with varying degrees of accuracy and success. Interpretations range from cadaverous (Max Schreck in Nosferatu, 1922) to elegant (Lugosi and his imitators) to bizarre (Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker's Dracula, 1992). But has Dracula ever been portrayed as the author intended?" "Here is the updated edition of the acclaimed 1999 guide to the films based on Stoker's novel. Covered in detail for the first time are Drakula Istanbul'da (1953); Dracula (1969); Dracula 2000 (2000); Dracula's Curse (2002); and Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary (2003). Also new to this edition is complete cast and credit information for the Dracula series from Universal and Hammer as well as for films with clear but unacknowledged Stoker influence."--BOOK JACKET.
