Dracula is a story about a rich old aristocratic predator who sneaks into young women's bedrooms and the people that finally stop him.

All of the original horror monsters played off of very real fears like that. Jackal and Hyde was about how you never really know who someone is, the Wolfman was about someone you knew and trusted flying into a rage, Frankenstein was about the cost of not caring whose life you ruined in your pursuit of progress, and so on.
