Dracula is the classic Gothic Drama about the power of seduction and the nature of true love. When the mysterious Count Dracula takes an interest in the beautiful, young Lucy who suffers from horrific dreams and a strange illness, he arouses the suspicions of her fiance Jonathan Harker and Professor abraham van Helsing.
