After reading Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula," I viewed a bunch of Dracula movies. This is a ranking of all of them that I've reviewed. This list ranges from fairly faithful adaptations, to loose reworkings and movies that hardly have anything to do with Dracula besides character names.

Lon Chaney Jr. As Count Alucard
1. Stream now on Prime Video Released in the days of some of the best Dracula movies, Son of Dracula is the third of the original Universal Monsters Dracula franchise. While the title is similar to the second movie, Dracula's Daughter, this movie is not about Dracula's son — it is about Dracula himself, who has been living under the name Count Alucard(which is Dracula spelled backwards). He is invited to the United States by a woman named Katherine, and soon he turns her into a vampire and ma...
Luke Evans As Dracula
1. Stream now on Netflix While purists discount Dracula: Untold as one of the best Dracula movies, the truth is that it brings an interesting outlook to the bloodsucking fiend. For years, Dracula was displayed as a semi-tragic figure, a man who wanted to regain his youth and find his lost love, but through despicable means. In this movie, the legend went one step further and made Dracula a hero before his turn to evil. Told as an origin story, Luke Evans stars as Dracula in 1462, a ruler who...
Gerard Butler As Dracula
1. Stream now on Max In 2000, Patrick Lussier set his sights on Dracula, and he brought the vampire to the modern day. What resulted was a movie that wasn't received well by Dracula fans, but it was one that brought a truly fascinating twist to his origin story. This twist was that Dracula is Judas Iscariot from the Bible,forced to live forever after betraying Jesus Christ.This explains his weakness for crosses and silver (Judas was paid in silver for his betrayal). The movie also features a...
Christopher Lee As Dracula
1. Stream now on Max Dracula A.D. 1972 brought back Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as Dracula and Van Helsing, respectively, for another addition to the Hammer series. However, this movie took a very different approach as it took the action to the modern day, which at the time was 1972. The movie opens in 1872 when Lawrence Van Helsing kills Dracula and dies himself. However, 100 years later, Dracula rises and starts to kill again. Cushing here plays Lorrimer Van Helsing, making the charac...
Dracula's Brides Take Over
1. Stream now on Prime Video In 1960, Hammer Films released a sequel to its rebooted Horror of Dracula, which brought Dracula movies back after two decades on the shelf. Instead of bringing back Dracula in the first sequel, Hammer chose to make this movie about the vampire brides of Dracula. With that said, Peter Cushing did return as Van Helsing, as he set out to stop the vampires sired by a Baroness in Transylvania. The entire idea was to have acolytes of Dracula rather than bringing the bi...
Gloria Holden As Dracula's Daughter
1. Stream now on Peacock After the major success of Frankenstein, Universal Horror released Bride of Frankenstein, which ended up as a better movie than the original. The company tried a similar tactic with Dracula's Daughter, but this wasn't nearly as successful as the Frankenstein sequel. In this movie, Countess Marya Zaleska is Dracula's daughter, and she hopes that his death will free her from his influence. However, as expected from a horror movie, she did not find her freedom and began...
John Carradine As Dracula
1. Rent on Apple TV & Prime Video While the movie has Frankenstein's name in the title, this is one of the best Dracula movies as well. Released in 1944, this was the first time that Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolf Man ever appeared in the same movietogether. The film opens with the evil Gustav Niemann escaping from prison and then reviving the recovered corpse of Dracula to use him to gain revenge against his enemies. The cast here was unique. Boris Karloff, the original Frankenstein, pl...
Christopher Lee As Dracula
1. Stream now on Fubo This version of Count Dracula was a unique take, as it was from Spanish horror director Jess Franco in the middle of Hammer Horror releasing their franchise. Franco's version of Dracula was easily the most loyal to Bram Stoker's novel, retelling the story without many of the changes made to previous movie versions of the vampire. Dracula here starts off asan older man who starts to regain his youth as he kills and feeds on his victims, which was done later in Bram Stoker...
Louis Jourdan As Dracula
1. Not available to stream at this time A BBC adaptation, this version of Dracula follows the book quite closely. In fact, other than Dracula not being portrayed as an old man, the entire arrival of John Harker at Dracula's castle is verbatim to the novel, which was a rare display of strict adherence to the source material.It is truly one of the most faithful adaptations when it comes to retelling Soker's original tale. First shown on British television in its full 155-minute glory, it was ev...

Jan 25, 2023 · Shadow Of The Vampire (E. Elias Merhige, 2000) Less a Dracula film than a film about a Dracula film, this meta-horror-comedy used the real-life ambiguity around Max Schreck to posit that the Nosferatu star really was a vampire.
