Info

Dracula: The Series is a short-lived syndicated series about Count Dracula and his struggles with Gustav Van Helsing, as well as Gustav's young nephews — Maximilian and Christopher Townsend. They were also aided by a schoolgirl, Sophie Metternich. Romantic tensions developed between Chris and Sophie. The series was filmed in Luxembourg, and produced by Phil Bedard and Larry Lalonde, best known for their work on John Woo's Once a Thief and Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. The series formula was relatively straightforward, with the four heroes learning of some plot by Lucard/Dracula and attempting to foil it, with at least some success. In keeping with the novel, but not most film and television lore, vampires could walk in sunlight but lacked their powers. Anyone bitten just once by a vampire transformed into a zombie-like servant. This process could be stopped by applying holy water to the bite.

Dracula: The Series Audience Reviews

Palaest recommended
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
K I have to tell you...this series is just perfect. I am a horror movie buff...I love everything from the serious to the seriously campy. But this show is so classic. I have all 21 episodes on DVD and they are worth every penny. Of course this show is campy but it is supposed to be...they wouldn't have it any other way. Cute series for young adults or children. Good story lines. Each episode leads you to believe...when are they going to kill or be killed? I would definitely recommend for anyone that likes some of the 80's, 90's campy horror classics that Platinum Disc Corp. puts out (Platinum put this series out on DVD).
dudeman5685 Its on DVD. I got the first 11 episodes off the 5.99 rack at Best Buy.This show is corny. Very corny. But it knows it is and doesn't take it self too seriously. I believe this was a kids show aimed at army brats and expatriots kids in Europe. It really bizarre how this is supposed to be in Spain or somewhere and every one, including the police captain, speak with an American accent. I love how Sophie is always making snide comments about Americans but doesn't even attempt to hide her accent.Its nice show for Vampire completest and Americans living abroad with kids.(BTW, Geraint Wyn Davies is in this as a vampire. This was two years before "Forever Knight". And Mia Kershner is in this as Sophie, long before her staring role in "The L Word.")
Rubygurl78 I really don't think that Dracula: The Series was "corny" at all, in fact, you can't really compare it to "Friday the 13th" or the "Nightmare" movies at all. The best way to explain the series is to compare it to modern-day Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. The series was more campy than anything else, but on occation, did explore darker themes. All in all, it was a good show and frankly a lot of fun. If it had come out now instead of then, I think the show would have gone on for more than 21 episodes.
lgb0077 Though lacking the violence and blood in typical vampire movies, this series still carried interesting storylines in each episode. I saw most episodes and still have a few today. It was not meant to be scary flick just interesting. I never found it corny. If it was out on DVD or Tape, I'd buy it.
