Product Description: Featuring 21 Episodes. Dracula seeks global domination as Alexander Lucard, international billionaire power broker, who is relentlessly building a hi-tech network of white-collar vampires. Two young American brothers know his secret (and his weaknesses!) as they join their uncle--a lifelong vampire chaser--to follow the trail across Europe and the U.S. in a desperate race to expose Lucard and his undead army of corporate vampires.
A Series to Sink Your...Teeth Into Dracula: The Series is an entertaining show that employs a bit of campy suspense, dark humor and a talented cast to bring the caped one to life. Alexander Lucard (played by Georgie Johnson) plays Drac the corporate raider and manages to invoke a love/hate response as he seeks out to destroy his nemeses at one moment, and join up with (or seek assistance from) at another. The younger of the cast (Jacob Tierney, Joe Roncetti, Mia Kirshner) are the epitome of the kid vampire hunter under the guidance of Uncle Gustav Helsing (Bernard Behrens). The show is part Goonies, part Buffy (without "the chosen one" curse), and was one of the greats in the early 90's when vampire themed shows hit the tube for another round.
Good family fun with a twist of horror I enjoyed the two-pack Dracula series with its blend of fun and horror. The plots are believable and the acting is excellent. The part of Dracula is very well played by Geordie Johnson but 10-year-old Jacob Tierney (as Max) almost steals the show in some of the episodes. Jacob is well supported by teenagers Joe Roncetti and Mia Kirshner. Bernard Behrens as Uncle Gustav rounds out the well balanced cast. It is a great pity that the TV series doesn't go beyong 21 episodes. It is, indeed, a five star product.
Love this show, great DVDs! I have been searching for this series for years and only recently started browsing on Amazon.com. Why I never thought to search for this series here sooner, I don't know. I thought the price for this 2-disc set was very reasonable and the quality is nice. Brings back very fond memories of my teenage years when I watched this show as often as I could. I even got to see a few episodes I missed. Amazon's communication was excellent regarding order processing and shipment notification. I qualified for super saver shipping with my order and it was well worth saving nearly 7 bucks for a couple extra days' wait. Good ship time, too! I love this series; amusing and fun to watch. So glad Amazon.com carry it! I notice they sell the two discs separately, but the 2-disc set seems a much better deal. I just wish they'd made more episodes; I really can't get enough of the characters and my favorite is Dracula, himself. Geordie Johnson can bite me anytime, lol! Along with another product I bought that was shipped separately, this was my first shopping experience with Amazon.com and it was overall a very pleasant experience and I will return as often as I can to order other products.
Campy, cheesey, and not to be missed!!! Friends and I used to throw a frozen pizza in the oven, pop a can of soda and spend hours watching the episodes of this series that I had taped. I had monitored Lucard's Home Page for years as one of those fans who remembered and loved this show when younger. Is it a bit campy? Oh yeah! Does it have a dark edge? You bet! Is it worth seeing...WITHOUT A DOUBT! I had only sincerely HOPED that this show would come out on DVD, and it finally happened. I bought copies for all my friends who used to watch this with me, and we still love it. Too bad it never made it past the first season! I recommend this show because it is the classic funny, witty, and yet edgey television we had in the late 80s and early 90s...less melodrama,less inuendo, more fun! At this price, you could take a chance and if you love it...you have a gem in your collection. If you do not love it, you did not lose a thing!
I sincerely recomment this DVD set!
dracula; the series A very likeable TV show that I like and also my 8 year old granddaughter loved it. The vampire is the most handsome I've seen so far. It is pretty mild and OK for children. A cute series.
