Movie Info

This TV-movie adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel of the "undead" was adapted by Richard Matheson and photographed by Oswald Morris.

Nigel Davenport co-stars as Van Helsing, vampire-hunter deluxe, who pursues the count with his bagful of hammers and stakes. Much of the Stoker novel that had been eliminated in earlier versions has been restored by Matheson. Originally slated for

R, 1 hr. 45 min.

As close as had been done at that point to the original Stoker novel.

Since the disc contains two movies, it's bargain priced. However, I'd still rent rather than buy.

Remember being really favorably impressed with this. Saw it many years ago. Can't remember many particulars...bu the general memory was highly favorable.

Jack Palance is much better than you'd think as Dracula. Good script by Richard Matheson and stylish direction by Dan Curtis.
