ALT A comparison between the book cover for Dracula by Bram Stoker and the movie poster for Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992). The book is the Penguin Classics edition, which features a silhouette of a long spindly man and flying bats against a black backdrop of a castle and the Carpathian mountains. The movie poster is black and white and shows Dracula holding Mina sensually with the tagline of "Love Never Dies" underneath. Only the title "Dracula" is in color, and it is red.

The movie poster is much busier, with a girl riding an armored polar bear in the foreground, two nefarious looking adults behind her, and two armored polar bears fighting in the background.

ALT A comparison between the book cover of The Godfather and its corresponding movie adaptation poster.
