From "Dracula the UnDead" web...
At last—the sequel to Bram Stoker's classic novel Dracula.
Bram Stoker's Dracula is the prototypical horror novel, an inspiration for the world's seemingly limitless fascination with vampires. Though many have tried to replicate Stoker's horror classic-in books, television shows, and ...movies, only the 1931 Bela Lugosi film bore the Stoker family's support. Until now.
Dracula The Un-Dead is a bone-chilling sequel based on Bram Stoker's own handwritten notes for characters and plot threads excised from the original edition. Written with the blessing and cooperation of Stoker family members, Dracula The Un-Dead begins in 1912, twenty-five years after Dracula "crumbled into dust." Van Helsing's protégé, Dr. Jack Seward, is now a disgraced morphine addict obsessed with stamping out evil across Europe. Meanwhile, an unknowing Quincey Harker, the grown son of Jonathan and Mina, leaves law school for the London stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of "Dracula," directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself.

Memphis Public Library & Information Center Filmmakers documenting the life of Daisy Bates (daisybatesfilm.com), a legendary newspaper publisher during school desegregation, traced Bates steps at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library. (The Memphis & Shelby County Room is a treasure trove...the producer from NYC did a lot of research at the Library for the upcoming PBS documentary.)
