More than a century after its first publication, Dracula remains the ultimate horror story, with countless film adaptations and literary spin-offs. Each fall, the Rosenbach Museum & Library—home of Bram Stoker's research notes and outlines for Dracula—plumbs the depths of its collections to present the annual Dracula Festival, a week-long series of events inspired by Stoker's classic novel and iconic figure.

In past years, the festival has featured:

• film screenings of classic and contemporary vampire films, such as Nosferatu and The Lost Boys
  
• an exhibition of Bram Stoker's research notes and outlines for Dracula and a series of curatorial tours of the notes
  
• dramatic readings from Dracula
  
• visiting authors of contemporary vampire stories
  
• storytelling and poetry slams inspired by Dracula and other monster myths around the world
  
• a larger-than-life Dracula Puppet Parade, artistically produced by Spiral Q Puppet Theater
