Dracula
Well my favorate Dracula movie is Hammers 1958 movie Dracula with christopher lee and Peter Cushing. The 1958 movie was advertised here in the USA as Horror of Dracula so as not to confuse the public with Universals 1931 Dracula movie. The 1st Dracula movie ever made was in Russia in1920. The 2nd Dracula movie was made in Hungry titled Drakula it stared Paul Askonoas as Dracula. Then in 1922 in Germany Prana Studios wanted to make a Dracula movie. They were stopped when Florence Stoker Bram Stokers widdow threatend to sue if the name of the movie was not changed. Prana made the movie and retitled the movie Nosferatu. Nosferatu is a movie about a Vampire named Graf Orlok not Dracula and actor Max Shreck played the role of Graf Orlok. However in 1931 Universal studios bought the rights of Dracula from Florence stoker and made 2 Count Dracula movie in 1931 an english version with actor Bela Lugosi and a spanish version with actor Carlos Vallarias. Hammer studios made a deal in the late 1950s and bought the rights of a few of Universals movie monsters one of them being Dracula. Hammer then hired actor Christopher Lee to play the role of Dracula. Lee was Dracula in 7 Hammer movies from 1958-1973. Other notible Draculas were Frank Langella in 78or 79 and Gary Oldman in Bram Stokers Dracula in 1992.
