The compelling saga of the mysterious Count Dracula continues in the frighteningly romantic vampire film BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA'S GUEST, which arrives on DVD August 5th from Lionsgate Home Entertainment. The film is based on Bram Stoker’s short story “Dracula’s Guest,” which was published in 1914, two years after Stoker's death. Initially part of Stoker’s original Dracula novel, “Dracula’s Guest,” was excised by the publisher due to the books length. Read on for a synopsis and the DVD art.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula’s Guest follows the story of two young lovers, Bram and Elizabeth. The couple is forced by her father, the Admiral Murray, to take time off from their relationship in order to determine whether their love is true. Meanwhile, the Count Dracula is in London searching for a new home and comes across Elizabeth at the train station after she has run away from her father’s overbearing ways. Dracula proceeds to kidnap Elizabeth to settle an ancient dispute with the Admiral. When Bram learns his friend Malcolm was killed by Dracula on his way to inform him of Elizabeth’s kidnapping, he sets out across Europe to rescue his true love.

	Big Bad Wolf 8:53am, June 17, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT That sounds nothing like "Dracula's Guest" at all.
	lklinger 5:23pm, June 17, 2008 PROFILE - MESSAGE - REPORT Two little problems: (1) The plot summarized above bears no resemblance whatsoever to the story "Dracula's Guest," and (2) there is no evidence that the story was part of the novel deleted by the publisher for length reasons. The published story may have been adapted from materials which were originally intended to be included, but this is not certain, and who did the deleting is unknown. For more, see my "New Annotated Dracula," to be published by W. W. Norton in Oct. 2008. Leslie S. Klinger
