About Dracula
There have been many screen versions of Bram Stoker's classic vampire tale, but none more famous or enduring than Universal Studios' 1931 original. Because its initial release coincided with the transition from silent pictures to "talkies," when limited sound technology existed, no musical score was ever composed and there were few sound effects. For its 1998 restoration of the film, Universal commissioned legendary composer Philip Glass to write a hypnotic new instrumental score, blowing the cobwebs off the horror classic and adding depth to the emotional layers of the drama.
