Status: Existence Unconfirmed/Lost


Dracula (1920) is an alleged Soviet movie version of Dracula. The existence of this film has not been confirmed, as no production stills, footage, or significant information about the film seems to have survived.[1]

If this film does exist, it would be the first film adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula.
Some sources cite Victor Tourjansky as the director of the film, but most official data doesn't mention this movie in his filmography.

Reference to the film in The Vampire Book; screencap courtesy of Cinemassacre.

The "loss" status information about the film comes from The Vampire Book - The Encyclopedia Of The Undead by J. Gordon Melton.[2]


Russian news website Dimitrovgrad Panorama claims that the movie was found in Serbia, but nothing else came out of it, so it seems likely to be a hoax.
