What was the first Dracula film ever made?
The name of the film was ‘Dracula’ it was released in 1958. Christopher Lee played Dracula (as he also did in about a dozen other movies) Peter Cushing played Professor Van Helsing www.imdb.com is a wonderful resource for movie information. Also, if your dad is a fan of classic horror movies you should see if you can find a copy of ‘Nosferatu’, it was released in 1922, it’s a silent film, but it still speaks to the advancement of technology back then, and it’s still sufficiently creepy. EDIT: those that keep posting “Nosferatu” as the first movie with “Dracula” as a character, that’s wrong, the vampire’s name was “Count Orlok”, he was BASED on Dracula.
