Who doesn’t know them: the blood-sucking vampires, the eerie undead, immortalized in countless films, and inspired primarily by Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula” (1897). Just think of iconic movies such as the silent film “Nosferatu—A Symphony of Horror” (1922); “Dracula” (1958) with Christopher Lee; Roman Polanski’s parody “The Fearless Vampire Killers” (1967); or “Nosferatu—Phantom of the Night” (1979), starring Klaus Kinski as Count Dracula.
