-
Bram Stoker's seminal novel “Dracula” is published -
German Expressionist F.W. Murnau's “Nosferatu” is made in response. All done without the right to use the story. -
Carl Laemmle bought the rights to Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and would later buy the rights to every play version of Dracula. -
This was created due to many Universal films being translated to Spanish Films so it was not long before Dracula was also in demand.
