This unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula remains one of the most unsettling vampire films ever made, and its bald, spidery vampire, personified by the diabolical Max Schreck, continues to spawn imitations in the realm of contemporary cinema. This cornerstone of horror film will be presented in an HD edition mastered from the acclaimed 35mm restoration.
