Inside, he is startled by a young woman who claims that she is a prisoner and begs for his help. Dracula arrives, greets Harker and guides him to his room. Alone, Jonathan writes in his diary, and his true intentions are revealed: he is a vampire hunter and has come to kill Dracula.

Since it was brought to cinema for the first time in Nosferatu (1922), Dracula has become one of the most adapted characters.
You better not watch or read them alone at home in the dark. These terrifying stories will horrify you and will take away your sleep.
“Movies adapted from books never feel like enough. There's always too much cut out in the end.”
