This luxurious hardcover publication is a fresh edition of our very first Ultimate Guide, bringing it in line with the sleek timeless design of our more recent film guides and celebrating Bela Lugosi\u2019s breakthrough movie in style.<\/span><\/h2>\n

For many film fans, Universal\u2019s Dracula<\/em> from 1931 is the first bona fide horror motion picture. True, others came before it, but Dracula<\/em> shaped our understanding of what horror movies could – and would – become. And it\u2019s the same for Classic Monsters – as our very first Ultimate Guide, our tribute to Tod Browning\u2019s 1931 movie hinted at the road ahead. In the years since the publication of the Dracula<\/em> 1931 Ultimate Guide, times have changed, with the style, structure and design of our guides evolving a cleaner layout, finer-quality stills, and more information. With this in mind, the\u00a0Dracula<\/em> 1931 Ultimate Guide New Edition Signed Hardback is a look ahead at our future guides, and a loving celebration of our very first title. This is a signed Dracula<\/em> 1931 hardcover movie guide you simply won\u2019t want to be without.<\/p>\n
