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":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040422297943,"sku":"9781476669878","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476669878.jpg?v=1750946697","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/count-dracula-goes-to-the-movies-9781476669878","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
