This 1990 album features John Williams's score for Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula," a dark and operatic take on the classic vampire tale. The music draws heavily on Romantic orchestral traditions to evoke the film's gothic atmosphere.
- The score was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, a frequent collaborator of Williams.
- Varèse Sarabande released the album on LP, CD, and cassette.
- The album was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score, but lost to "Dances with Wolves."

At the time of "Dracula"'s release, he had already established himself as a preeminent composer in Hollywood, with iconic themes for "Star Wars," "Jaws," and "Indiana Jones" already under his belt.
