A first edition of the novel Dracula

A photograph of Bram Stoker

A section of Bram Stoker's notes where the name Wampyr is crossed out and replaced with Dracula

Today is #WorldDraculaDay because Bram Stoker's classic novel was first published #onthisday in 1897. It's also worth remembering that if Stoker hadn't come across the name Dracula in a book while researching in a LIBRARY the main character was going to be called Count Wampyr. 🧛‍♂️

Underwater scenes had been popular since the 1890s but had been achieved via sets, props and even shooting through a water tank. This film was properly in the ocean.

"What is a ghost? A tragedy condemned to repeat itself time and again?"
