It doesn't have to be a Dracula title to be a Dracula movie. I am sure he would have left the title to Dracula if Bram Stoker's widow didn't go besark and get all the copies destroyed (later in a couple of years some copies were discovered. )

By the way you never see the name "Count Orlock" in the movie, but ya I guess its not a complete Dracula film. What I think Murnau did is change the story completely and made it into a different story, but that doesn't explain why the name Dracula is used for the vampire....
