caption_attribution_description: English: Bookjacket Lajos Pánczél: Dracula halála, Romania, Timișoara, 1924.
context_page_description: Dracula's Death, or Drakula halála, sometimes translated as The Death of Dracula, was a 1921 Hungarian-Austrian silent horror film that was co-written and directed by Károly Lajthay, and starred Paul Askonas and Lena Myl. It was presumed to be a lost film but critic Troy Howarth states in his reference book "Tome of Terror" that a print exists in a Hungarian archive.
  The film marked the first screen appearance of the vampire Count Dracula, though recent scholarly research indicates that the film's plot did not at all follow the narrative of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula. Thus, Nosferatu is considered the first true adaptation of Stoker's novel.
  After originally opening in Vienna in 1921 and enjoying a long and successful European run, the film was later re-edited and re-released in Budapest in 1923 as The Death of Dracula.
  Director Lajthay was both an actor and a director. Most of the films he worked on are considered lost.
