Who made the first Dracula movie?
The silent film, Nosferatu (1922), directed by F. W. Murnau, was for all intents and purposes, Dracula, but Bram Stoker's widow had not given Murnau permission to use her husband's book for the film. Murnau went ahead and made the film but he changed the names of the characters. The Dracula type vampire, Count Orlock, was played by Max Schreck, wearing the most grotesque make-up and looking truly horrible.
However, Florence Stoker did take legal action against Murnau and won. All copies of the films were ordered to be destroyed, but luckily for us, this didn't happen and the film has survived.
(There is an interesting film called Shadow of The Vampire (2000) which is supposed to be about the making of the 1922 Nosferatu film, and stars John Malkovich, and Willem Defoe as Max Schreck. The unlikely premise is that Schreck was a real vampire.)
Then in 1931, Universal Pictures made Dracula, directed by Tod Browning and starring Bela Lugosi.
Nosferatu was remade in 1979 by Werner Herzog, starring Klaus Kinski. Highly atmospheric.

Who created the story of Dracula?
The legend of the vampire ´Count Dracula´ originated in Bram Stoker's 1897 horror novel "Dracula", but he was inspired by a real person.
This real person was called Vlad III, Vlad Țepeș or Vlad Drăculea. He was born in 1431. It is most likely that he was born in Sighisoara, Transylvania, but it is also possible that he was born in Nuremberg because his father, Vlad II. Dracul, often went there at that time, where joined Sigismund II of Luxembourg's Order of the Dragon. It is possible that his pregnant wife, Princess Cneajna of Moldavia, accompanished him. Vlad III himself is said to have joined the order at the age of 5.
Being a member in this order, Vlad II got the name ´Dracul´, which is most likely to come from the Latin word ´drago´ (dragon). His son got the name
´Drăculea´, which means "son of the dragon".
Vlad II Dracul gave Vlad III and his brother Radu, his two youngest sons, to the Ottoman Sultan Murad II, who imprisoned them at Egrigöz fortress. These years had a huge influence on Vlad III's personality; for example, he made his first real experience with violence there.
In 1447, Vlad II Dracul was murdered.
Vlad Drăculea led many fights against the Ottoman Empire. He got the name ´Țepeș´, which means "impaler", because of his gruesome strategy: He impaled thousands of people. Most of them were enemies, but he also killed some of his own people this way.
Vlad III died at the end of 1476 during a fight against the Ottomans. It is most likely that he was beheaded by one of his own soldiers. He is said to be buried in Snagov, but scientists have not found his grave yet.
