It's a book of four parts.
Harker In The Castle.
Whitby And The Bloofer Lady.
Renfield, Mina And The Carfax Boxes.
Chasing Down The Count.
The first three parts are strong and have turned up in many adaptations.
The last part reads as a bit of an anti-climax but ironically it could play out well on screen, though nobody has yet really achieved this.
The other frequently overlooked aspect of the book is poor Quincey Morris.
When I was a child the idea of throwing in a Texan horse riding, sharpshooting, bowie knife wielding action hero into a gothic horror story was so full of potential and he is the real hero because he gives his life to avenge Lucy and save Mina but other than Coppola's version he never gets much of a look in and even he doesn't know what to do with him.
The last section would make for a bizarre Paprika Hendl Western with Quincey as the hero (which is why I was looking at Tombstone over the weekend).

Also saw Nosferatu - the original version - last summer.... And don't get me started on the jazzy score, which more often than not didn't even go with the actions happening on-screen.
Nosferatu with a Jazz Score? Which version did you watch I have the BFI version with a score by Hammer composer James Bernard, there are many versions available with different scores.
