Dear Dracula (2012)

In the heart of Transylvania, the legendary Dracula resides in his castle, aching for a break from his monotonous existence. His wish is granted when he receives an unexpected piece of fan mail from Sam, a young American boy with a penchant for all things Gothic. Sam, an orphan living under the spirited supervision of his grandmother, is a devoted fan of monster movies. Despite having a loyal friend in the girl next door, Emma, Sam's fascination with horror and his pet tarantula labels him as an eccentric, making him feel like an outsider. When Sam desires a Dracula figurine, his grandmother suggests he write to Santa. But the imaginative Sam, in sync with the Halloween season, decides to pen a letter to the infamous Count Dracula himself. This innocent mix-up is interpreted as an invitation by Dracula, leading him and his faithful servant Mirroe on a journey to meet their young fan. Upon meeting, Sam is thrilled to encounter his favorite horror icon, and a unique bond is forged. In a world where Dracula's image has been watered down by Hollywood interpretations, Sam offers to help Dracula regain his fearful reputation. In return, Dracula promises to guide Sam in transforming his spooky persona into something more acceptable to his peers. 'Dear Dracula' is a captivating tale of an unconventional friendship, exploring the trials of being an outsider and the transformative power of self-belief, all set against the backdrop of the enchanting world of horror.
