Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew Dacre Stoker said it was “wonderful and very appropriate” that two Dubliners were creating a new score for the first Dracula movie.
He said the Stoker family were equally pleased that the score was being recorded live during the annual Bram Stoker festival.
Mac Erlaine also said it was a “great honour and wholly resonant” that they were recording the new score in Dublin.
Bram Stoker was born in the north Dublin suburb of Clontarf in 1847.
