Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
This spectacular and haunting version of Bram Stoker's Dracula stars Orson Welles and was performed in 1938. Between 1879 and 1889 Bram Stoker was business manager for the world-famous Lyceum Theatre in London, where he supplemented his income by writing a large number of sensational novels. This, perhaps his most famous tale about the vampire Dracula, was published in 1897.
