[edit] Appearance of Dracula

The now-iconic depiction of Dracula with the widows peak and slicked back, black hair and the high collar is very similar to how Mephisto appears in the German silent film Faust (1926), by F. W. Murnau (beginning with the scene where he gives Faust his youth). Is this anywhere cited as an influence on Dracula, or were these features already internationally common in depictions of evil characters by then? Postdlf 00:43, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Summary?

Why is there no summary of the story? It differs slightly from the novel, so naturally I would assume there'd be a summary. --St jimmy86 17:05, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dracula's Transformations

It is mentioned in the movie that Dracula changes into a wolf. In the scene after Van Helsing confronts him with the mirror, Dracula goes out of the room to the balcony. Jonathan Harker looks out and remarks about a big black dog bounding across the yard. WerewolfSatanist 18:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
