Dracula (films)

:For the fandom surrounding the original novel see :Dracula (novel)
The fandoms surrounding the film adaptations of Dracula can often be considered separate from the literary fandom, because although many films keep the basic elements of the original story they often diverge greatly from the novel.
==Canon==
There have been dozens of film adaptations of Dracula, these are some of the more well known that have inspired fan followings:
===The Classic Universal Series===
Beginning with Dracula (1931), often referenced as the vampire film. It starred Bela Lugosi in the title role, and is considered one of the all-time Horror classics, and spawned three sequels and two spin off films.
===The Hammer Series===
A classic series of nine British horror films produced in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. It expanded on elements like the brides of Dracula, giving them their own film in 1960 in which the count does not appear. With the exception of the last movie in the series, The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires from 1974, Dracula was portrayed by the British actor Christopher Lee.see also Wikipedia:Dracula (Hammer film series)
===Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992)===
Francis Ford Coppola' adaptation of Dracula, starring Gary Oldman, Keanu Reeves, and Winona Ryder. That was very popular in the early 1990s.
===Dracula Untold===
