didn't know about this one


Never knew about this film before,I was looking for Gary Oldman one and this appeared,Jack Palance as Dracula ah man I got to see that,it says it a tv movie I'll have to see if it's on youtube if not dvd

I believe it's on YouTube and DVD. It's an okay movie. Not my favorite Dracula adaptation and not the best of Dan Curtis's work, but still worth watching.

On Hulu. Saw it as a kid in the 70's . Wondered how it would hold up watching it as an adult. Simon Ward was always good in his roles

It is the best one I've ever seen. It is closer the novel where it deals with his wife's death than the Francis Ford Coppola version with Gary Oldman. I only wish it would have stuck to the novel when dealing with the Jonathan Harker character and would have gone closer to the novel regarding Dracula's death, but the ending here was good and better than the 1992 ending.

But it was a theatrical release in countries outside the USA, like UK, other Euro nations and Brazil.

The budget was akin to a Hammer flick from back then, but this one's more subdued than Hammer and the Count's portrayal is sympathetic, yet still formidable.
