I've never read Dracula or seen any adaptations, but to me the time difference makes sense - Frankenstein is sort of about the split between Enlightenment-era ideals and Romantic notions of individualism, so makes sense for early 1800s, whereas Dracula in my head is more straight-up Gothic and so makes sense to be after stuff like Wuthering Heights and The Woman In White and Edgar Allan Poe.

But generally with pre-20th century history there's a tendency to conflate stuff that happened decades apart, so you make a fair point about how long 79 years really is.
