The first motion picture to ever feature the character of Dracula was Dracula's Death , a Hungarian silent film made in 1921.
It was not based on Bram Stoker's novel, but rather it was an original story about a young woman, who encounters the famous vampire during her stay at a mental asylum.
The movie, just like so many others from the silent film era, is considered lost.
Luckily, a prose adaptation was published in 1924, which has survived in its entirety.
