Inspired by the legendary book by Bram Stoker. In this short film, we experience the first chapters of the book. The pages tells the story of the young lawyer, Jonathan Harker, who travels to Transylvania to conclude a real estate transaction with the famous and feared Count Dracula. But the road is long and fierce. He encounters troubled citizens and superstitious tourists, who warns him not to go near the old castle, where the vampire dwells. But Jonathan has made a promise to his boss Mr. Hawkins, to fulfill the transaction. Now Jonathan must explore the ancient castle, filled with stories and strange occurrences... and last but not least, the Count himself.

This is magnificent…! So rarely is Dracula accurately depicted in media that it is PAINFUL. This animation had an air of subtle menace which I really enjoyed, and the ending…I’m not usually a fan of cliff hangers, but this appears to be an exception.

I'm 50yrs old and I still love the old line, "listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make." ❤

Good to see they've actually made the Count actually resemble Stoker's description of him and not a Lugosi copy.

You really captured the essence of Stoker's novel. I felt as I did reading Dracula for the first time as a young boy. This old man thanks you and I must say, you have wet my appetite for more.

This is the longest short film I have ever seen.

I really like the character design of old man Dracula the contrast between the evil foreboding look combined with his soothing voice and calming demeanor very well done

[Reichthoff]

Amazing! Finally a Dracula character that is exactly the way he looks in the book!

I really appreciate all of your guys support. I'm beyond words. We're almost almost at 90k views. That's insane. Let's keep it going to 100k!

Ever since I was a teenager (six decades ago) I've thought those first chapters, the Carpathian part of the novel, should be a whole film separate from the chapters set in England. You've done just that and I applaud your choice.

If you eventually do the rest of the book I hope you won't slight Quincy Morris, as all other Dracula films have.

This is a really good animated version. It is creepily dark. Well done. Its better than some live action versions out there.

Movie is amazing but true vampires of thoughts is definitely YouTube commercials 😂

[wazzup]

I love how Dracula really looks like Vlad Tepes be it an older or younger Version.

[aliciadavis]

There were a few minor deviations, but it is the Dracula true to Bram Stoker's novel and so much of the story was accurate.
