Count Dracula (mini-series) - BBC's Fan-Requested 1977 Louis Jourdan Mini-Series Comes to DVD


Widely Acknowledged As Production Version Most Faithful to Novel

    This 3-part BBC miniseries is one of BBC's most requested titles -- known for its faithful interpretation of the Bram Stoker novel.

    This fan favorite three-part series from the BBC is now available on DVD for the first time! Louis Jourdan stars as the deliciously blood-thirsty Count Dracula in this version of Bram Stoker's horror classic. Keeping close to the original novel, the series begins with Jonathan Harker visiting the Count in Transylvania to help him with preparations to move to England. It is in the Count's castle that Jonathan becomes a prisoner, and discovers Dracula's true nature. Many scenes shot on location -- such as the Gothic graveyard of London's Highgate Cemetery -- add extra atmosphere to an already powerful production.
Cost for this 1977 BBC mini-series starring Louis Jourdan (Gigi, Swamp Thing, Octopussy) is $14.98 SRP, and the release date is a Halloween-friendly Sept. 25th. Here's the box art:
