In 1922 a bunch of tight-fisted Germans made an adaptation of 'Dracula' without forking out for the rights to Bram Stoker's novel. The result was FW Murnau's Nosferatu, which immediately found itself in trouble with the Stoker estate, who ordered all prints of the movie be destroyed. Some prints survived, with Murnau's film going on to influence a century of vampire cinema. Subsequent Dracula movies have pulled as much from Murnau's film as from Stoker's novel, so much so that what we now think of as Dracula lore is a mashup of elements from Stoker's novel and Murnau's film.
