Dracula is what you might call a bona fide cinematic icon. From Bela Lugosi’s official celluloid origination of Bram Stoker's vampire in 1931 to Christopher Lee's outings as Dracula in the Hammer Horror films from the '50s to the '70s, the villain has enduring appeal. This comes thanks to some truly brilliant actors cementing his status, not to mention countless appearances throughout movie history, from live-action to animation.
