BRITISH HORROR STORIES
People like to be scared. They love reading horror stories and watching horror movies. Some of the most famous horror stories were written by British writers. Dracula contra Frankenstein was made by the Spanish director Jesús Franco in 1970. Count Dracula was a vampire created in 1897 by the Irish writer Bram Stoker.
Since then Dracula has always been in print.
Bram Stoker got the idea for Dracula while he was sitting in High gate Cemetery in North London.
Sunlight fell on a crack in the lid of a tomb. Stoker wondered what would happen if the light woke up the dead body in the tomb.
Dracula is so popular that visitors to London can go on a guided Dracula tour.
The tours usually take place just when it's getting dark... .

The bedroom window was wide open and moonlight was shining into the room. Mina was on the balcony and a dark shape was leaning over her. It was Count Dracula!
The vampire was not drinking Mina's blood. No, it was more terrible than that. Dracula was holding Mina's face to a long cut on his chest.
