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!
i was a kid when this show was on, and it was a show for me!... not real scary or anything but had its moments... also that guy from "Forever Night" (Geraint Wyn Davies) played the part of helsings son turn vamp... and that was a cool show... i would love if sci fi channel would air the old shows that didn't make it to the big time....
A couple of American kids staying with their uncle in Belgium become vampire sleuths when they discover that the most powerful man by the name of Alexander Lucard, a business mogul in Europe, has minions and other vampires running the entire area where they are staying. The kids are joined by their Uncle Gustav and his charge, Sophie, to fight the evil Lucard using the traditional vampire-fighting agents and interestingly enough, develop their own state-of-the art inventions, one of which was a laser gun called The Boffin. Another was a protein type drink which gave off electrical shocks to keep vampires at bay. Memorable guest stars include Lucard's arch rival Nosferatu, brilliantly played by the late Denis Forest. Full season one ends with a cliffhanger but the series was not renewed. Great cast line up led by veteran stage performers Geordie Johnson as Lucard and Bernard Behrens as vampire hunter Uncle Gustav Helsing.
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.
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.")
