Dracula

Dracula is an 1897 Gothic horror novel by Irish author Bram Stoker, and the name of its central character, the vampire Count Dracula. The novel established many of the conventions of subsequent vampire fiction and has been adapted countless times for stage and screen -- most influentially in F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1922) and Tod Browning's Dracula (1931) starring Bela Lugosi -- making the Count one of the most enduring figures of horror literature and cinema (Wikipedia)
