BRAM STOKER: FATHER OF DRACULA – Documentary + Q&A

His story has remained largely untold—until now.

Every legend has a creator. Every monster has a father.

For more than a century, Dracula has stalked the imagination of the world. Since its publication in 1897, Dracula has become one of the most successful novels in literary history. Never out of print, translated into more than thirty languages, and sold in over one hundred and twenty countries, the story of the mysterious Count has captivated generations of readers and inspired countless films, television series, stage productions, and works of popular culture.

Today, Count Dracula stands among the most famous fictional characters ever created. But who was the man behind the legend?

Despite creating one of the most influential novels ever written, Bram Stoker remains one of literature’s great enigmas. He left no autobiography and remarkably little first-hand testimony about his life. Overshadowed by the very character he created, Stoker has become a shadowy figure in literary history—a man known across the world, yet understood by very few.

Edited and directed by IFTA-nominated award-winning filmmaker Jason Figgis and written by best-selling authors John West and Dacre Stoker – great grand nephew of Bram Stoker, this compelling documentary journeys deep into the life, inspirations, and hidden obsessions of the creator of the world’s most famous vampire.
