To Die For (1989 film)

To Die For (also known as Dracula: The Love Story) is a 1989 American independent romantic horror film directed by Deran Sarafian and starring Brendan Hughes as vampire Vlad Tepes, Duane Jones (in his final film role), Philip Granger, Julie Maddalena and Amanda Wyss.

[2] Vlad Tepes, the Prince of Darkness, resurfaces in Los Angeles with a new look, new life and new love.

Producer Greg H. Sims wanted to produce a Dracula film that emphasized the romantic aspects of the character as he personally felt prior incarnations had not adequately tapped into that side of the character.

[3] The film was given a limited release theatrically in the United States by Skouras Pictures in 1989.

The film was released on DVD in the United States under the title Bram Stoker's To Die For by Triumph Marketing in 2005.
