-People like to be scared. They love reading horror stories and watching horror movies. The first horror story was published by an English writer: Mary Shelley in 1818 - Frankenstein.The other horror story was Dracula, created in 1897 by the Irish writer Bram Stoker. Dracula contra Frankenstein was made by the Spanish director Jesús Franco in 1970.
-Bram Stoker got the idea for Dracula while he was sitting in Highgate Cemetery in North London.
Dracula is so popular that visitor to London can go on a guided Dracula tour. The tours usually take place just when it's getting dark...
Dracula: Dracula has been assigned to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the Gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of letters, diary entries, ships' logs, etc.
Frankenstein: Frankenstein, is a novel written by Mary Shelley. The novel was published when she was twenty-one. The first edition was published anonymously in London in 1818. Shelley's name appears on the second edition, published in France.
My opinion: Dracula and Frankenstein doesn't fear for me, but their films I think that's great.
