Mondo To Release ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula’ Poster Just In Time For Halloween [Exclusive]
“I’ve crossed oceans of time to find you” is perhaps the most romantic line ever uttered in horror history. The words are uttered by Gary Oldman in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 erotic horror classic Bram Stoker’s Dracula, a film that changed my young life. Now, Mondo is celebrating the film with a new, gorgeous poster designed by artist and illustrator Dave McKean.
Artist McKean said of the new poster:
“Bram Stoker’s Dracula seemed to me to combine all the most compelling ingredients of the vampire story; exotic gothic literature, a transgressive love story, Middle Ages Eastern European warlords, and most brilliantly, early Twentieth Century cinema and a strange new world of translucent ghosts, smoke and mirrors, souls captured in nitrate. This parasitic, romantic, bestial Dracula is as much a denizen of the modern age as he is an old god.”
They’ll be releasing both a standard and variant version, which you can learn more about below!

Josh Manderville, Mondo Senior Art Director, said of the new release:
“Do you believe in destiny? In the 90s, few artists were more impactful on my creative psyche than Dave McKean. He is Legend. I first became familiar with his work by way of Skinny Puppy album covers and Sandman comics. His work is as ethereal as it is complex nightmare-fuel, and his interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula for Mondo truly honors the apocalyptic world-building and depth of the character present in Coppola’s film. I was so honored to have the opportunity to unleash Dave and his iconic voice onto this modern goth classic. Happy Halloween!”
