Bram Stoker's Dracula
As well as inspiring the character of Dracula, Vlad the Impaler was also the inventor of the scarecrow.
But as this horror movie attests, he didn't use straw and old clothes - he used Turks.
Disavowing God after the death of his wife (Winona Ryder), Vlad (Gary Oldman) is cursed to walk the Earth for eternity thirsting for human blood.
Surfacing in London centuries later under the moniker Count Dracula, Vlad is shocked to encounter Mina Harker (Winona Ryder), a look-alike of his dead wife.
However, Mina's fiancÃ©e (Keanu Reeves), Professor Van Helsing (Anthony Hopkins) and others (Cary Elwes) affected by his actions will stop at nothing to separate the Count's head from his shape-shifting body.
The most cinematic and sinister depiction of Stoker's protagonist yet, director Francis Ford Coppola infuses the Gothic narrative with striking visuals, elaborate costumes and brazen eroticism.
Furthermore, marrying Dracula means no more buying tampons.
