Earlier adaptations between 1930-1970, Universal Productions conveyed Dracula as an irrefutably heinous creature, likewise, in Hammer Films (1950-1970) except with further implementations of violence and sex.

His style of writing is definitely unique compared to other authors within this time period. Why he chose to create an intellectually superior female character would be another question of mine.…
