This next bit of information is from wikipedia check it out!
Wentworth Miller wrote the screenplay for Stoker, as well as a prequel, Uncle Charlie.[6] He used the pseudonym Ted Foulke for submitting his work, later explaining "I just wanted the scripts to sink or swim on their own."[7] Miller's script was voted to the 2010 "Black List" of the 10 best unproduced screenplays making the rounds in Hollywood.[8] Miller described it as a "horror film, a family drama and a psychological thriller."[6] Although influenced by Bram Stoker's Dracula,[9] Miller clarified thatStoker was "not about vampires. It was never meant to be about vampires but it is a horror story. A stoker is one who stokes, which also ties in nicely with the narrative."[6] Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt also influenced the film. Miller said: "The jumping-off point is actually Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt. So, that's where we begin, and then we take it in a very, very different direction."[6]
