Yet most people are familiar with the title character from the movies. Count Dracula is one of the most-filmed literary characters in history--but has he (or Stoker's novel) ever been filmed accurately?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In its third edition, this study focuses on 18 adaptations of \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e from 1922 to 2012, comparing them to the novel and to each other. Fidelity to the novel does not always guarantee a good movie, while some of the better films are among the more freely adapted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The Universal and Hammer sequels are searched for traces of Stoker, along with several other films that borrow from the novel. The author concludes with a brief look at four latter-day projects that are best dismissed or viewed for ironic laughs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46475392319639,"sku":"9781476669878","price":3740.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476669878.jpg?v=1766273664","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/count-dracula-goes-to-the-movies-stokers-novel-adapted-3d-ed-9781476669878","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
