25 Things You Didn't Know About Bram Stoker's Dracula

1. A Haunting Melody

In the final entry, praise goes to the magnificent orchestral score for Bram Stoker's Dracula, written by Polish maestro Wojciech Kilar, without whose contribution the film would have been significantly less menacing.

Kilar was awarded the ASCAP Award from the American Society Of Composers, Authors And Producers in Los Angeles along with a nomination for The Saturn Award for Best Music in a science fiction, fantasy or horror film in 1993.

The music is a beautiful, haunting and ominous addition to the legacy of Dracula, adding layers of emotional depth to a one dimensional monster. Kilar passed away in 2013, his contribution to cinema will forever be immortalised, like the character his work so beautifully personified.
