The Hays Code

Laws which he made regarding film that apply to Dracula:
Murder
Brutal killings are not to be presented in detail
Scenes of passion
In general passion should so be treated that these scenes do not stimulate the lower and baser element. 
The treatment of low, disgusting, unpleasant, though not necessarily evil, subjects should always be subject to the dictates of good taste and a regard for the sensibilities of the audience
 No film or episode may throw ridicule on any religious faith
The treatment of bedrooms must be governed by good taste and delicacy
