But only when Dracula was adapted for film in 1929 did his widow, Florence, enjoy the true benefits of his fame. She used part of the $40,000 film rights to install in her London home the rarest of rare luxuries – a downstairs lavatory, which in gratitude she christened “Room Dracula.” Read more about Stoker…
