Much of the Stoker novel that had been eliminated in earlier versions has been restored by Matheson. Originally slated for telecast in October of 1973, Dracula was reshuffled to February 8, 1974, due to the late-breaking vice-presidential nomination of Gerald Ford. Hal Erickson, Rovi

This is an excellent DVD of the Dan Curtis production of Dracula starring Jack Palance as the blood sucking Count. Excellent adaptation of Stoker's book plus some minor changes similar to Francis Ford Coppola's epic. Jack Palance makes a very frightening Vampire. Nigel Davenport as Van Helsing is also excellent. The cinematography is very eerie creating the atmosphere exceptionally well. The transfer to DVD has also been rendered very well. A movie to be owned by any fan of the genre.
