Dracula Untold is Universal's return to the classic horror that was made popular during the studio's early days. Of course, expect modern FX, heightened action and a slick look. The period piece opens in theaters on October 17th and, today, we now have your first look at Luke Evans as Prince Vlad , courtesy of Yahoo, and a peek at an international poster. Update: Yahoo screwed up, it's just a photo from The Raven!

Gary Shore makes his feature directorial debut with this Dracula origin story. Sarah Gadon and Dominic Cooper also star.

Evans' Vlad is a man who fights for his people and his family but makes a dark pact to ensure their protection. This pact sets him on a path into the supernatural until he becomes the legendary monster we all know.

Shock Till You Drop was on the set of this film when it lensed in Ireland last fall. We'll have a full set report as we near the film's release date.
