Dracula (1931)

Information About Universal's Icon Film

Produced and distributed by Universal Pictures, Dracula is the first sound film adaptation of the Stoker novel. Several actors were considered to portray the title character, but Lugosi, who had previously played the role on Broadway, eventually got the part. The film was partially shot on sets at Universal Studios Lot in California, which were reused at night for the filming of a concurrently produced Spanish-language adaptation of the same name, also produced by Universal.

While the above paragraph is copied from the wiki page on the 1931 film this part is not. I could only imagine seeing a wiki page with this type of snarky language... Anyways, with the production aside its worth mention that the 1931 Film and Stoker's writing would go on to inspire many media adaptations of dracula, with my favorite being the Castlevania Series.
