Various Draculas

	Max Schreck as Count Graf Orlock in Nosferatu: eine Symphonie des Grauens (The Undead: A Symphony of Horror). This German film from 1922 was basically Bram Stoker's Dracula with the names changed. Stoker's widow filed a copyright infringement suit and in 1925 the court ordered the film company to turn over all it's money to her and to destroy all copies of the film. Fortunately, at least one copy survived.
	*Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula. The 1931 movie Dracula* was an adaptation of the Deane/Balderston play and was the very first vampire movie with sound.**
	When Universal Pictures was filming Dracula with Bela Lugosi, sound dubbing techniques had not been developed yet so the studio filmed two versions of this movie using the same sets, but with different casts. One version was in English and the other in Spanish. This photograph is thought to be from the Spanish version of Dracula starring Carlos Villarias (1931).
	*Christopher Lee as Dracula in his coffin being staked. Lee first appeared as Dracula in Hammer Films' Dracula* (1958) and continued to play the role for the next fifteen years.**
	*Klaus Kinski as Count Graf Orlock in Nosferatu, Phantom der Nacht* (The Undead, Phantom of the Night), a 1979 German re-make of 1922 classic.**

Bram Stoker's Dracula
While Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) came closer to the novel than any other movie so far, this movie was definitely Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula. This cinematic genius filmed the entire movie entirely in a studio with very elaborate sets and some of today's most talented actors.
	Gary Oldman as Dracula licking blood off a straight razor.

	Sadie Frost as the Bloofer Lady (a.k.a. Lucy Westenra). Now here's one kissable vamp.
	Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Van Helsing with three ex-vampiresses.

Interview with the Vampire Here are several lobby cards for the 1994 movie based on Anne Rice's novel by the same name. Rice's novels have probably increased the popularity of vampires more than anything since Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Dracula.
	Tom Cruise as Lestat and Brad Pitt as Louis standing in a doorway.

Geena Davis Now here's a vamp every red-blooded male mortal would love to meet some spooky night in a darkened alley...or anywhere else, for that matter.
