As movie stars go, they don’t come much bigger than Dracula. The king of vampires has been featured in more movies than James Bond. He’s been played memorably by Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee and lampooned by the likes of Leslie Nielsen. In the pantheon of movie monsters, Drac reigns supreme which is why every time Universal decides it’s time to reinvent their monster movies, Dracula is among the first to be dusted off. Most recently, Universal looked to its monster properties as a way to duplicate the success of the Marvel Cinematic universe. Their first effort towards that end was 2014’s Dracula Untold.
