Dracula is a pinball game with a complex history spanning multiple decades. Originally released as Bram Stoker's Dracula by Williams in 1992 (WPC-era DMD machine), it was initially designed as Alien but pivoted due to licensing delays, ultimately featuring signature mechanics like Mist Multiball along with thematic elements of coffins, bats, and rats. The game is noted for its challenging, classic pinball design philosophy and has been actively circulated in the collector and tournament community, including appearances at various venues and tournaments through at least 2026.
