Abstract
This article aims to outline a brief archeology of the incursions of the character “Dracula”, created by Bram Stoker, in the book of 1897 of the same name, in the movies. Although the work of Stoker is a major milestone of the English Gothic literature (and perhaps even of literature in general), it is in the audiovisual that we perceive a greater development of the vampire, achieving an unimaginable fame. In this case, we see that the influence of the media is an interesting modeler in the development of the vampire over the time. Its difference in mediatic device and different times of society and technological possibilities ends up presenting us an incredible variation of the initial literary product. We realize that talking about Dracula is never an exhaustible subject because a new audiovisual foray comes to reveal new possibilities about such a chameleonic being every year. Thereby, we will dive into the countless vampire film appearances, realizing how this being was transformed over the years and how it reaches its fullness as an immortal being by moving from paper to film. Keywords: audiovisual, cinema, Dracula, transposition, media archaeology.
