Question: Bram Stoker's Dracula was directed by the creator of what Gothic soap opera?
Context: Dracula is a 1973 British television movie adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula" written by Richard Matheson and directed by "Dark Shadows" creator Dan Curtis, with Jack Palance in the title role.  It was the second collaboration for Curtis and Palance after the 1968 TV film "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". Bran Castle (Romanian: "Castelul Bran" ; German: "Törzburg" ; Hungarian: "Törcsvár" ), situated near Bran and in the immediate vicinity of Brașov, is a national monument and landmark in Romania.  The fortress is situated on the border between Transylvania and Wallachia, on DN73.  Commonly known as "Dracula's Crib" (although it is one among several locations linked to the Dracula legend, including Poenari Castle and Hunyad Castle), it is often erroneously referred to as the home of the title character in Bram Stoker's "Dracula".  There is, however, no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad the Impaler, voivode of Wallachia, the putative inspiration for Dracula.  As discovered by the Dutch author Hans Corneel de Roos, the location Bram Stoker actually had in mind for Castle Dracula while writing his novel was an empty mountain top, Mount Izvorul Călimanului, 2033 m high, located in the Călimani Alps near the former border with Moldavia.  Stoker's description of Dracula's crumbling fictional castle also bears no resemblance to Bran Castle. Bram Stoker's Dracula is a 1992 American romantic horror film directed and produced by Francis Ford Coppola, based on the novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker.  It stars Gary Oldman as Count Dracula, Winona Ryder as Mina Harker, Anthony Hopkins as Professor Abraham Van Helsing, and Keanu Reeves as Jonathan Harker. The Snake's Pass is an 1890 novel by Bram Stoker.  It centers on the legend of Saint Patrick defeating the King of the Snakes in Ireland.  The novel also centers on the troubled romance between the main character and a local peasant girl.  "The Snake's Pass" was Bram Stoker's second imperial fiction novel, and was first published in the United Kingdom in 1890.  The novel is a precursor to Stoker's "Dracula" but was his only novel written in his native land of Ireland. Elizabeth Russell Miller (born February 26, 1939) is Professor Emerita at Memorial University of Newfoundland.  She currently resides in Toronto.  In her early academic career, she focused on Newfoundland literature, primarily the life and work of her father, well-known Newfoundland author and humorist Ted Russell.  Since 1990, her major field of research has been Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula", its author, sources and influence.  She has published several books on the subject, including "Reflections on Dracula", "Dracula: Sense & Nonsense", a volume on Dracula for the "Dictionary of Literary Biography" and, most recently, "Bram Stoker's Notes for Dracula: A Facsimile Edition" with Robert Eighteen-Bisang.  She founded the Dracula Research Centre (now offline) and was the founding editor of the "Journal of Dracula Studies" now at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania.  Miller is also president of the Canadian chapter of Transylvanian Society of Dracula. Dracula the Un-dead is a sequel to Bram Stoker's classic novel "Dracula".  The book was written by Bram Stoker's great grand-nephew Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt.  Previously, Holt had been a direct-to-DVD horror screenwriter, and Stoker a track and field coach. Bram Stoker's Dracula's Guest (also known as just "Dracula's Guest") is a 2008 film that was written and directed by Michael Feifer.  It was released direct to video in August 2008 and is loosely based on Bram Stoker's 1914 novel "Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories". Dracula - The Undead is a video game released in 1991 for the Atari Lynx handheld system.  The game is loosely tied on Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" and even goes as far as to include Bram Stoker himself narrating the story.  The player takes the role of Jonathan Harker as he tries to escape from Dracula's Castle.  The game bears a striking resemblance to the "Alone in the Dark" survival horror games despite pre-dating the series by one year. Dark Shadows is an American Gothic soap opera that originally aired weekdays on the ABC television network, from June 27, 1966, to April 2, 1971.  The show depicted the lives, loves, trials and tribulations of the wealthy Collins family of Collinsport, Maine, where a number of supernatural occurrences take place. Bram Stoker's Dracula's Curse (also known simply as Dracula's Curse) is a 2006 horror film by The Asylum, written and directed by Leigh Scott.  Despite featuring Bram Stoker's name in the title, the film is not directly based on any of his writings or a mockbuster to the 1992 film "Bram Stoker's Dracula", but shares similarities to films such as "", "Dracula 2000", "" and "Van Helsing".  The film also shares some similarities with the 1971 Hammer horror film "Countess Dracula", which also features a Dracula-esque femme fatale in the lead role.
