Dark Universe - Dracula (2015)

Based off of the scrapped idea of the Dark Universe, this series explores the notion that the Universal Classic Monsters were rebooted for the modern day in a cinematic universe like the MCU or the Monsterverse. The series would largely have been comprised of Gothic horror movies, the first few introducing the main monsters and the next phases allowing them to meet, and new monsters to be introduced. The first of these movies in Dracula, released in 2015. This would have been well-received due to its closeness to both the movie and the original book, and kickstarted the Dark Universe as a major force in the field of horror.
