Dracula

Summary: What a pleasant surprise!
Review: I've been a fan of this series for years, but never expected to see it released on video. Its witty dialog and campy presentation makes it quite a change from the serious, horrific treatment Dracula usually gets. Blond Canadian actor Geordie Johnson does an excellent job presenting our favorite bloodsucker as a modern business man. Bernard Behrens plays his enemy, Gustave Helsing, who is aided by three children (played by Mia Kirshner, Jacob Tierney and Joe Roncetti) in the quest to destroy Dracula. Forever Knight's Geraint Wyn Davies appears in several episodes and Dracula's student and sometimes rival. Serious Dracula/vampire fans will probably want to pass on it, but those willing to accept a broader view, it's a very enjoyable series!

Summary: Smart, funny, with a bit of cheese thrown in for fun!
Review: Short-lived though it was when it first debuted, Dracula the Series *did* get a full run of 21 episodes (more than most fledgling series these days). Starring a wonderful core cast, including Geordie Johnson as a sleek and dangerous (not to mention gorgeous!) Dracula, this series is a great bit of fun for kids and adults. The cheesiness is there on purpose, when it shows up in a number of eps, but the dialogue throughout is always fun and clever. I LOVED this series when it first came out, and I was about 15, and I still love it now at 30!

Summary: Campy Fun!
Review: This is Dracula the Series - the fun series that aired in the early 90's - It stars Geordie Johnson as Dracula, and Bernard Behrens as Van Helsing, Geraint Wyn Davies has a recurring role as Klaus (this is pre-Forever Knight.) The dvds are pretty high quality for being a 1990 television series. The two-disc set includes all 21 episodes of the series. Fun for the whole family.
