Dracula (1931 / 1992 / 2000 / 2014), Contrast Review
Dracula is one of the most extensively adapted properties in cinema history. Bram Stoker's 1897 novel has generated hundreds of film and television produc.
Tod Browning directed Dracula and Freaks, the second cast with performers who had genuine physical differences and pulled from release after audiences reacted with horror. It effectively ended his career and has since been reassessed as unusually humane toward its cast. He worked as a circus performer before film.
