When the first adaptation of Dracula was made in the 1920's (i.e. Nosferatu) they forgot to get permission from Mr. Stoker's estate and his widow tried to have all prints of the movie destroyed. She failed of course as it still exists today, but the fact is there have been problems with copyright and what is and isn't covered for a long time. And no one really considered the possibility of something like the internet one day making it more complex I think.

Now I love Nosferatu but it wasn't the first Vampire movie, though the first ones actually had female Vampires.
Missed being first by a couple of years but was before Nosferatu and frowns on your shenanigans.
