Dracula's Death, or Drakula halála, sometimes translated as The Death of Drakula, is a 1921 Hungarian silent horror film that was written and directed by Károly Lajthay. It is presumed to be a lost film.
Contents
The film marks the first screen appearance of the vampire Count Dracula, though recent scholarly research indicates that the film's plot does not follow the narrative of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. There are no records in existence to prove whether or not the film was given a wide (or limited screening) release in the USA. After originally opening in Vienna in 1921 and enjoying a long and successful European run, the film was later re-edited and re-released in Budapest in 1923.
Plot
The film is about a woman who experiences frightening visions after visiting an insane asylum where one of the inmates claims to be Count Dracula (here following the Hungarian spelling Drakula). She has trouble determining whether the inmate's visions are real or merely nightmares.
