The Vampire is one of, if not, the most well-known monsters in all of horror cinema. From Nosferatu in 1922 to Universal’s Dracula series in the ‘30s and ‘40s, and from Hammer Horror’s cycle in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, all the way up to BBC’s 2020 mini-series, Irishman Bram Stoker’s seminal novel Dracula has had nearly a century of influence on cinematic horror.
