What happens

Drakula halála (transl. Dracula's Death) is an Austrian silent film that was co-written and directed by Károly Lajthay. The film was the first appearance of Count Dracula from Bram Stoker's novel Dracula (1897), though the film does not follow the plot of the novel. Production went from 1920 to 1921. The film allegedly premiered in Vienna in 1921, though no information regarding this has been found in Austria trade publications, and was released in Hungary in 1923. The film is considered lost, with only four publicity photographs of the film and a novel adaptation of the film surviving. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
