Dracula: The Series

This is a great series. I found it for a very reasonable price, around $16.00 dollars, and snapped it up quickly. I remember wanting to see this when it first came out in 1990, but none of the television stations in my area carried it. I never imagined that I would have to wait 15 years to see it!! Geordie Johnson was a very good Dracula, not over-the-top or flamboyant like some actors who have portrayed this role in the past. Mr. Johnson has a very good speaking voice. It really fit the part magnificently. The actors that portrayed the kids were, for a change, not obnoxious or overtly cutesy. Sometimes a kid can kill a good program or movie and thankfully, they did not in this show. I only wish that this series had been able to have a final wrap-up episode.

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).

I loved this show as a kid! Of course, if I saw it now I might feel otherwise. The show was terribly campy but always entertaining. In addition to vampire henchmen, A. Lucard (i.e. "Dracula" backwards) also had a host of ghoulish zombies to do his bidding.

Geordie Johnson, who played Lucard, was oh-so sexy and alluring in this role, always the suave gentleman. He had the added-bonus of being able to transform into a flock of bats. The kids and Uncle Gustav would always invariably get themselves into a sticky situation, out of which they would miraculously escape within the alloted time-frame.

I would love to get my hands on old episodes of this show!

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.

Though this show was billed as family entertainment, it still has its darker moments. Be prepared to suspend disbelief - and enjoy the puns and jokes while you're at it. Definitely worth a look... you might just find that you enjoy it! Geordie Johnson, Mia Kirshner, & Bunny Behrens are great!
