IMDB rating: 7.70
Plot: After a harrowing ride through the Carpathian mountains in eastern Europe, Renfield enters castle Dracula to finalize the transferral of Carfax Abbey in London to Count Dracula, who is in actuality a vampire. Renfield is drugged by the eerily hypnotic count, and turned into one of his thralls, protecting him during his sea voyage to London. After sucking the blood and turning the young Lucy Weston into a vampire, Dracula turns his attention to her friend Mina Seward, daughter of Dr. Seward who then calls in a specialist, Dr. Van Helsing, to diagnose the sudden deterioration of Mina’s health. Van Helsing, realizing that Dracula is indeed a vampire, tries to prepare Mina’s fiance, John Harker, and Dr. Seward for what is to come and the measures that will have to be taken to prevent Mina from becoming one of the undead.

What is Dracula about?(full details please!)?
Okay, several hundred years ago there was a Romanian Knight Vladimir Dracula. He was the first Knight in his country to become a politician. He was very brutal in battle and slaughtered many muslim Turks. He was very eager to defeat the enemies of Christianity. The Germans considered him to be a real hero. He was also a tyrant tax collector.
He had a wife and when she became pregnant and then told him about it, he ( for some strange and sick reason) pulled out his sword and slashed her open and said something like " now the whole world will see my fruit."
Yep, a real warrior for christendumb (christendom) if there ever was one!!
No he wasn’t a vampire…..just in case you are wondering. He was a tax collector and RREALLY SUCKED THE BLOOD OUT OF PEOPLE.
I met this one girl from Moldova who told me she took the grand tour of his castle ruins. Nothing really but piles of rock.

We actually need more information to answer that question. Do you mean the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker? one of the other books, movies or the historic person behind the stories? Frankly the only way to get "full detail" would be to go to the source and read the book.

It is about a young up and coming English real estate agent who has an assignment to go personally to Transylvania to close a sale of an abbey near Dover. On his way to Transylvania the estate agent (Jonathan Harker) encounters many things that are considered somewhat maccabre. When he arrives at castle Dracula he finds out that not all is what it seems. He is made to stay at Castle Dracula for many months teaching the Count in rudimentary English. During his stay he finds the Count doing many a wierd things such as howling at the wolves below, and crawling like a bug down the castle. One day he enters a chamber and is seduced by three women who start to bite him until the count comes in and stops them claiming Harker for himself. He finds the Count in an open coffin whilst removal men are there, the Count has a younger face and is bleeding from the eyes and mouth.
The Count moves to London, whilst there he encounters Mina who is Jonathan’s fiancee. The count tries to seduce Mina who he thinks is the reincarnation of his dead princess. The Count turns Mina’s friend into a vampire who is killed by her three admirers and one Abraham Van Helsing. The three admirers, Van Helsing and Harker find the abbey which the Count resides at and burn it, whilst doing so they lock Mina in an Insane Asylum for her safe keeping. The count enters the Asylum and takes her just before they arrive. They head off to Transylvania for the final showdown, Dracula is killed by Mina.
My knowledge of the ending is somewhat sparce and unclear. The ending is mainly from Francis Ford Coppolla’s 1992 film adaptation, which is meant to be one of the closest in accuracy.
The book is hard to read in some parts because of the 1890s dialect, but is worth the read.

You could read the book or watch the movie "Bram Stoker’s Dracula".You can get "full details" from these sources. I try not to rewrite things that are already written down.
Dracula is about a vampire. The book was published in 1897, it was 1st published in a newspaper type format as a "serial". It is based on some history and some of it is imagination, it is a novel.
The setting is Exeter England, and The Carpathian Mountains (Transylvanian Alps) in Romania, but the area was historically referred to as Wallachia. Dracula’s castle(Bran Castle) is situated near "The Borgo Pass" above the Danube.
Exeter was historically part of Cornwall and is in the south of England
Renfieldism is a Psychological disorder named after Dracula’s assistant in England.
