Author Bram Stoker introduced the world to his character Count Dracula in the 1897 novel Dracula. It wasn’t the first novel about a vampire, but it has proven by far to be the most famous and most influential.
Since its first publication, Dracula has led the way for an entire category of fiction. Over the decades, the character has appeared in so, so many adaptations, copies, parodies, pastiches, spin-offs, and every other type of story—portrayed across all types of media, including books, radio, stage plays, films, television productions, comics, anime, games, opera, and ballet. In fact, there are more than 200 films that feature Count Dracula.
In this booklet, I’ve compiled several examples of Dracula’s appearances across different media—with an eye toward some of the more, er, unusual instances of his long and storied career in pop culture. I’ve also included LOTS of video clips so you can watch many of these silly instances for yourself.
The list certainly not exhaustive (seriously, I said more than 200 movies!), but I hope you find it interesting. Enjoy!
